Who do you buy computers from

[Catlady711]

I have a dell desktop, but from my experience the laptops are terrible. I will never get another dell computer, at least I won't want to. My next computer may be from Apple.

I would never buy a Dell again because not only have I had some problems with it but they LIED to me about what the extra $150 I paid for "technical phone support" was for. I specifically asked 2 different people and they verified it was for phone software support, so I plunked down the extra $150 only to find out a month later when I needed to call in about a problem that my money went to pay for HARDWARE support ONLY! They said if I wanted software support that I'd have to call another number and give my credit card info and they charge per minute for support!!

My Gateway I have had some issues with also (mostly microsoft issues) the phone support was EXCELLENT and I didn't even have to pay extra for it!

I'd NEVER buy a Dell again but I would buy a Gateway again.

Speaking of Dells.. I don't want one EVER again. My laptop continuously had problems and was in the shop every two or three days after we got it back from the shop.

I have a macbook

I build my own or buy cheap ex lease and upgrade. The house is full of pcs and Macs, over 20 (I think) and all working.

I own a Dell XPS M1710 laptop, also have another Dell laptop. I love both of them. All I have ever owned in the past 10 years is Dells. If I ever do have a problem, they are always there to help me, they hadn't failed me yet, though I don't have that many problems.

On desktop computers, I roll my own like many others here have posted.

I do have a stock notebook that was a gift to me from family. The notebook is a multimedia Gateway which is now almost two years old. I plan to upgrade the hardware (esp the RAM which is pitiful ) soon so that it runs faster and can do an almost decent job for resource intensive games like The Sims 2.

Homegrown, I build my own.

I'd avoid Dell at all costs, my dad had a HORRIBLE experience with their idiot help desk people which lasted months and involved over a dozen people, so I highly doubt it was a one-time "oopsie" type thing.

With the heat as bad as it has been, my workhorse desktop computer really warms up my work area.

I saw this submersed machine complete with bubbles at the end of the movie clip for a cool customization and wonder how well it would actually work in a room where temps sometimes get to be 90 or so farenheit

Water cooled?? We were going to do that with mine, except you need to be precise otherwise, well, the obvious could happen lol

They're using mineral oil in the clip, which is Non-conductive.

I'd hate to try to put a DVD in, though.

Gah, imagine cleaning the DVDs afterwards. haha!!

Liquid cooling is overkill for computers, the components are built to withstand a lot more heat than the average room temperature. My computer room often goes over 100 in the summer (no airconditioning here) and I have yet to have a heat related issue with any of the machines.

It looks like it would be a fun project to try sometime though!

The aquarium might do a great job keeping cat and dog hair out of the fans.
