phew... that was a long list... are these worth the 1200quids

also it cam with a office and a antivirus for 100

Not wanting to sound funny but are you serious. £1200 quid.
Should have got the guys here to spec you for that budget.

 

[SAM81]

I reckon this is a wind up, theres no way you'd pay that much for that spec then come to overclockers to tell us about it.....

 

[fenderbass86]

Ha ha ha you stupid ha ha

er hem, sorry. I don't believe you.

lol i agree.

er hem, sorry. I don't believe you.

neither do i

 

[t31os]

Yeah why pay double for a system elsewhere then brag about it?.....

Must be a joke, coz i'm lol.

 

[lee87]

Why does nobody believe him?
It would cost about £1000 to build the same system from ocuk.

But i'll agree with everyone else, I don't think it was worth the £1200. You could have got a intel core 2 duo and a better graphics card for the same money

 

[maddness]

LMAO guys, dont rain on his parade.

I take its a prebuilt system?

 

[t31os]

£1000 to build the same system? lol...... i just spec'ed most of it up in the basket, and if i knew the exact parts i could post it here, but otherwise its an unfair comparison. Either way, it easily came under £1000. Thats including Xpert £200 DDR2.

I have a little compassion, but OC do their own systems cheaper and better then what he got above.

Its like buying a hifi, then chatting to all your mates who build seperates about how great it is.

A feel for the guy i do, but you have to expect to have the **** taken a little if you go the expensive route then ask people what they think. If a mate paid £1000000 for a new Ferarri and you just brought one the same secondhand at half the price, i'm sure you'd have a dig wouldnt you?

 

[galabanga]

well./.. with 2 year warrenty, and an expansive speaker... (thats already 200quid gone)

anyway... didn't have a limited amount of money (good old parents)

so.... don't kill me about it....

 

[LanceCrossfire]

youve bought a Hewlett Packard PC from the big purple store havent you, as it stands most HP media centre machines are expensive, but they do have fantastic build quality and some neat features... granted a far quicker machine could have been built, but for your average joe, who doesnt want to build or overclock, this is a great machine....

Go on, give us some pics! would love to see this baby. Maybe we can learn you how to benchmark, then see what the difference is from a built one from here or something, then we can really get a comparasin?

You better hide that competitor sharpish! The mods will be looming

 

[ErNciLator]

oops fixed

futher edit: the reason why my Pc from here exploded is thanks to girly + ddr booster + putting pc on when i was out; not saying their hardware is bad but sometimes an amazing PC just doesnt do what a joe bloggs will keep doing .

 

[pcknight]

Lots of people get thier PC's from retail shops and then come on here and realise they could have got it cheaper!! I see it all the time.

 

[iViper]

Dear oh dear.

Conroe - missing.

Better Gfx card - missing.

Computer - K.I.A. tbh.
