thx guys and tell me if its good or if it sucks ^^


gorappaa help me once more lol

More cow bell. I mean memory. 1 GB of RAM is more suited for a gaming rig and the trend is more RAM in the future.

but will 512 work fast as well???
cause cant afford a 1G memory T_T lol

I'm not to sure about your choice, if it was me I would build myself but if you need advise I belive goranpaa is good to ask.

i cant build my own computer... so thats not one of my choices...
lot of people recommend me that...hope i learn someday lol

I noe iam waiting for Gorappaa's reply lol
really helpful to everyone

A lot of people come to OTS and say they can't build a computer, but here at OTS were here to help, if your stuck on anything ask!... It's easy to put a system together, you just need a few red bulls and the internet.

lol trust me i get frustrated really easily and I;ll probly give up and waste money...

u and other people that noes how to build are very skillled and intelegent i have to say

sence when did people build there own computers?

thatll make it bad for the companies lol

A lot of people do. I hope to do a build later this year when I have more money.

What buget do you have for a new pC?
And as the other guys said. Build it yourself. You can do it. And we'll help you out.

What did Alienware want for that Aurora 3500?

$1350

but After i read tons of comments from people...
it sounds kinda risky...

gorappaa do u recommend a Dell over Alienware?

figured dell is alot cheaper

but my concern is are these okay?
