my last experience with newegg was horrible.

bought a case to build a new machine... it showed up broken. mailed it back (shipping was like $20) they shipped another, it too arrived cracked (the cases were clearly broken down front of unit) i returned it and complained about having to pay shipping cost on two items i didnt end up keeping and they did nothing.

LOL

in the end I spernt $40 on cases and didnt even end up with any product, just footing the bill for shipping because they cant pack their cases properly. I couldnt justify doing it again, i mean the case only cost $100 and i spent 40 on nothing.

hahah

no, I then made negative comments on the product page saying "beware, these units shipped multiple times to me and came cracked every time"

of course, the comment was not published to their site LOL

This is quite close to mine but I have 12gb ram a ssd drive and a stand alone 1gb graphic card to that. Cost me a bit over $1k

**Chosen** · 11-18-2011, 08:35 AM

Pretty good specs for $325

**MaDalton** · 11-18-2011, 08:41 AM

and now my phone is 1000 times smarter

and people complain that everything got more expensive

Yeah hell a few hundred dollars will probably buy you more computing power than they had when they went to the fkn moon a few decades ago

now that is sure, at least when you mean the Apollo computer. it was as smart as a pocket calculator and had like 4kb ram or something like that

Yeah, i'm thinking to add more ram, but want to keep it in XP and max it goes is 4GB. I've seen packs of 24GB ram for sale, amazing, heh.

**bigluv** · 11-18-2011, 09:41 AM

All that power to surf GFY with huh. So how did you pay for this?

You can get XP 64 bit, but finding drivers is really horrible, a bad experience

Just got a used computer.. how did I do? Why is the Q9550 so expensive?
