The computer that I have right now iz really slow, and I asked my mom to get me a new one....she said ok but it has to be less then $3000.
I was wondering if anyone knew what computer I could get for less than $3000 (btw, I'm a gamer and Im lookin for the fastest computer i could possibly get) |

Haha, you really don't need to get a really expensive pc for it to work well. I have a $1000 Sony Vaio, and it's really fast and awesome.

I dun really think $3000 iz a lot for a "good" computer

Get a decent sony vaio ($1000-$1500) and a ATI Redeon 9800 Pro graphics card for $200- 300ish. You'll be set.
Alienware is over priced crap that's cutting edge for like 4 months. |

dell, erk. dont make me hurl.
my choice is the Fragbox by Falcon. I used to have it. It's awesome. it's just as fast as a full sized computer, but this one is tiny, and a good choice if you move around a lot but still want to bring cs with you. you can get the fragbox pro for around 1500 with BFG Asylum nVidia GeForceFX 5950 Ultra 256MB - awesome. 2.80GHz 800MHz, 120 GB. this one has my vote. |

Holy shit... if you just buy the parts and put it together yourself you could get THE BEST stuff for around $1500... then tell your parents they owe you the other $1500 for making it

I was lookin for a comp with at least 3.0 gHz w/ or w/o HT, at least 1 gig memory, and a minumun of 120 gig hardrive, and definately a ATI radeon 9800.. I think 2.8 gHz is a bit too slow, the computer i have right now is a song vaio with a 2.6 P4 proccessor with HT, a 80 gig hardrive, a nVidia GeForce4 Mx440, a 512 mb memory..... Also I need a big@$$ LCD flat pannel, I just hav a 18.5 inch SONY flat panel right now..... God.....I hav slow and crappy stuff....

actually, well, did you PICK ALL The nightest components for dell or alienware? Because if you lower down a few of the things, like a smaller hardd drive or maybe like no dvd_rw or something, it will probably go down. as long as you have the 500 dollar radeon graphic card, then it's all good and a really good speed and stuff. of COURSE it would be 6 k if you chose ALL the best of the best. I mean, some guy on mtv had some sony viao (so rpetty!) that was around 5000+ dollars and it was a laptop and had alot of good stuff... Did you want a laptop or a desktop? desktops are cheaper, of course...

God.....I hav slow and crappy stuff.... a LCD flat panel will make the price shoot up a lot because you have to get one with 16ms or less refresh rate and since you are a gamer you don't want ghosting therefore you need a good LCD i suggest you spend all $3000 on a really good computer then it will be while before you have to upgrade and then you can buy a better LCD too |
