i say dell
(i forgot to add the pole sry)

I say "Custom Built" Mine has a bit of everything in it lol

Dell sucks. Custom Build All The Way.

Custom for my servers. It suffers intermittent crashes if I don't build it.

Dell gives purpose to things like Drive Image and Ghost. I've been working with this computer for 5 years and I still haven't needed either program for it. I'm not going to look to Dell if they start selling AMDs either. Like that will ever happen...lol

I will have to choose Custom Built. No one better than us to decide what we need inside our case, or in some cases, what we dont need.

I have a Dell PC but I prefer my Packard Bell laptop over it

Same for me.

I have to admit it now I have a computer case made by Dell but the only other thing in the case by dell is one of my memory sticks. lol But everything else is from everywhere else.

may i remind people this is not a dissussion of wheather dell "sucks" or not, back on topic if we could,
thank you

home made
havent had a brand name since the commodore 64

Custom built. Its more cheaper without all that unnecessary computer software.

I consider it quite relevant to the topic, actually. The more users that help other users realize how crappy Dell is will hopefully influence more and more users to use their heads and build their PCs and feel good about what's inside their case, instead of worrying how long it will run before overheating.

what i meant was thats not the question were trying to answer

Ok, ok, fair game. Well, it's been established that not many people like Dell. How about we have people specify the brands/manufacturers of the various parts in their PCs?

I have AMD, Antec, BenQ, OCZ, DFI, and Nvidia.

sounds good

For a cpu Intel Celeron D 320 / 2400mhz
For the Motherboard I have ECS 845GV-M3
For the Memory I have Micron Tech
For the Video Card I have nVIDIA
For harddrives I have 1. Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 40.0gb 2. IBM Deskstar 180GXP 80.0gb 3. Western Digital 40.0gb
My CD/DVD ROM is a Lite-On DVDRW SOHW-812S

Umm I think that gets the main parts lol

I also agree

thats not answering the question... the question was.."what your favorite PC make" please stick to the topic!

Alright I have

motherboard: Gigabyte motherboard

CPU: Intel p4

Ram: Kingston

Custom building comps rocks... You never have to deal with crappy tech support....

Custom Build:

CPU: Pentium 4
Mobo: Lintech ??? VIA chipset (the only English words on it, the rest is in Chinese...)
RAM: Generic
HDD: Western Digital
Case: Generic

Heh, even if I had generic components, I still wouldn't pick up the phone to call tech support. I can fix most problems myself. If I can't, I ask on MSFN!

@ jeremy Agreed! I hate tech support! MSFN is much better!

Was a Dell loyalist for a long time, custom built is best IMO these days.

Custom built all the way, never owned a branded one....except for the sinclair spectrum....

Id Have To Say Custom built its the only way to ensure every parts warrenty lol, but if i had no choise and couldnt build for any reason, id say Alien Ware, only other id ever trust to build a system, Trust me if you go to a cheap retailer Rma soon becomes your middle name lol,

HP, but I hate all that s*** they put on it. On the XP disk.

I would rather custom build one.

The monitor?

Either HP or Toshiba.

Apple :X
For pc's a home made or old dell desktop computers(aka "R" class) are well.

I had to go Way Back in this thread for this:



Me too!
Except that I didn't care much for the OS on the C-64, so I re-wrote it.

Been building my own PC's ever since my first IBM XT Clone, that
sort of replaced my C-64.

On new PC's today (any brand name) it takes me over an hour to just get
all the crapware and spyware off of the HD, so I can finish setting the PC up for
my customer, installing their ISP and email, etc.

I know this thread wasn't opened to badmouth any particular brand of PC,
but I concur that Dell would sure top my list of JUNK.

Y'all have a great day now, Y'hear?

can you tell me please whats Custom Build

thanks

custom build usually means you buy the components separately and build the pc yourself. technically Dell and others let you customize a pc to buy too. I am in the custom build camp, again I build it myself. I prefer the Shuttle XPC's.

ah

I thought it was a company since many here said "Custom Build" (they used " ")

Custom for desktops, Toshiba for laptops. 'nuf said

A custom built PC is the way to go. Therefore you can upgrade your PC anytime without specially made products, like Dell for example, which is only compatible with Dell only hardware, which is pathetic, and not to mention, more money. And its much cheaper to build a custom built PC.

4 custom built pc's for me. I will never buy a name after building my first one, with that first 200 MMX cpu, lol.

I would say that "custom build" is not a valid "pc make".

Unless you own your own company that makes custom builds...

custom build all the way!!!
