I hate to tell you this, but EVERY computer manufacturer outsources parts, and they don't always know what fails. If it falls outside the tech support flowchart, they may or may not be able to help you.

If you DIY and you properly assemble the machine, you will know precisely what fails when. (and if you build it properly it probably won't fail)

You'll also learn more about how the system works.

Yes, i know. But HP's machienes are manufactured well because mine has survived through 7 years of abuse and moving. And my dads has lasted for 13 years and still runs.I trust most of my digital life to HP and it normally lives up to what i say. And i have personally designed this system so it should meet or exceed my needs. and its still under $500. The rest i will buy toys for Reggie with lol.

So they were well made 7 years ago and 13 years ago.

What about now?

Where do the parts come from?

Here's a couple of consumer review pages that look pretty good:

I might have supported you in the other thread, but seriously these excuses have me shocked. There is a big difference between NEED and WANT. YOU don't need a computer, you want one. You said yourself, it was voluntary. You didn't need to volunteer to do it. 899 students wouldn't be mad at you for not getting news in, that is complete BS. In my school, no one even cared. I find it VERY hard to believe your school doesn't have the technology to allow you to do it there. What about your local library? I also doubt the teachers leave as soon as the students do. What if you need extra help with something in hard subjects such as math or language arts, or anything for that matter? People have to stay after school because during the school day there is not time for that stuff.
I'm sorry but I have to agree, you are being rather selfish. I really disliked the statement "BLOW money on reggie". That means you are wasting money on something, and if you really cared about your dog then a $300 or so wouldn't be a waste. You just care so much about reputation in school, because that is more important then your pets lives I guess. Whatever, I wish you would see where we are coming from but you obviously don't seem to care.

As for deleting this thread and starting it over, this will all happen again.

I have one question, HOW DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH REGGIE?!?!?! MY MOM AND DAD ARE TAKING HER TO THE VET!!! IM NOT! THEY SAID THEY WOULD! I am buying this desktop! i will buy Reggie some toys with the leftover money if there is any. I have the desktop placed on order for when i pay they will ship it. And there is no way to cancel that.

You just said this Reggie,

i will buy Reggie some toys with the leftover money if there is any

]If there is any? Come freaking on! You are going to BLOW all of your money on a COMPUTER! You are going to be in the same boat.. saying how you don't have any money for anything..

Don't say we didn't tell you!

Well, my hobby is computers. The computer i am going to buy costs $498.99 exactly. Thats pretty low-end. And my parents are going to buy reggie some toys and are going to take her to the vet. Im responsible for my own money and this is what i chose to spend it on. Love does not mean spending your one chance to get somthing you really want (ex. the computer) on your dog when your parents are going to take care of that. Thats stupid. When your parents are going to buy reggie toys and vet care why use your own money when you can buy the one thing you have been needing and wanting to get for 5 years.

[ilovemypup]

I don't know your Love.. but to me, love for my dogs means taking care of her, helping her out, training her, and getting off the computer and spending more time with her!

And for that last time.. you don't need a high end computer.

I have one question, HOW DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH REGGIE?!?!?!

Your dog was sick and probably still IS, you made a thread complaining you and your parents had no money, and then you start this thread saying you are getting $500 to spend and you waste it on something you DON'T need! You can claim all you want that you need a computer but in reality, you are just making excuses. NO one needs a computer. I didn't get one until I was 8 and even then I was allowed on 30 minutes a day. The point is, you finally get money and you refuse to spend it on your dog because your "parents" will spend it. We don't care if you get her toys, SHE NEEDS to see a vet!! You claim she has stopped peeing blood but maybe a new problem has arisen to cause it to stop. You are not a vet, you don't know that she isn't sick anymore.

The thing that annoyed me is that you're not "going to blow money on reggie". I guess a computer is worth more then your dog.

Hello? Anyone there? Did you read the part in large text? It clearly says my parents are going to pay for reggie to go to the vet. Repeat.

I did read it, if you even read my post you'll see I said something about that. That still doesn't explain all these stupid excuses and the fact "I'm not going to BLOW money on reggie". That to me is a nicer way of saying "My dog isn't worth it, I'm not going to waste $500 on her when I can get a new computer!".

You acting like this isn't helping anyone. Little attitude maybe?
You don't understand that your dog is STILL SICK do you? Money or not..she is ILL!

Don't be getting rude and acting like a smart ass. It's not going to get you anywhere. Noone here has been rude to you, they are just telling you what you don't want to hear. Even I havn't been rude to you where as I usually am. I'm trying to think of your dog what you should be doing to be responsible and so is everyone else.

Why won't you put the money away for another emergecy? I'm sure you won't have the money then either, that way at least you can show your parents your responsible and help.
