    Best pre built PC sellers ?

    I'm finally updating my old ass PC since windows 10 is no longer supported by microsoft and I cant upgrade to windows 11 because my system is too old.

    I usually just by all the parts separately and assemble a new PC... but I rather plug it in and go.... they have some great deals on pre built PC's now that holidays are coming

    What are some good places that sell pre built desktop PC's ? and don't say Alienware

      My old PC (Alienware) finally died so I bought a used Alienware on Ebay, gutted it, refurbished it, new hard drives, new install of Windows, added memory.... Fun little project.

      Eventually fixed the old PC and not sure what to do with it.

      Both computers are now on my desk.

              Do you really need Microsoft ?
              If if it is to play, steam is doing a pretty well with Linux.

                                  If you do wanna stick with what you have for the time being, and you really want Windows 11, there's plenty of ways of bypassing the 'This computer is unable to run win 11' business... You can still upgrade...

                                  Not saying you should... Just that you can - If I was gonna get something today, Id grab the new mac mini M4. Cheap as chips and powerful as fuck...

                                  OK, so not good for games (But that's why god invented Xbox's and Playstations) buyt for coding, graphics, editing, etc etc... Cant get better bang for your buck!

                                  Tiny box, plug your old Mouse / KB & monitor in - & you are off to the races!

                                  Even Swap Mouse KB & Monitor back and forth between them, leaving the old PC for games?

                                          I'm just going to pick my own parts. I can build a better pc than these prebuilt ones at the same price.

                                              if you want to save a bit, go through the education link at the bottom of apples sites, it usally anywhere from $100 to $500 off, depending on how expensive the item is, but base model i think its around $100 off. they dont verify EDU like other places.

                                              I got close to $900 off an imac a few years back.

                                                      I just got a Lenovo Legion with a Intel i9-14900KF, 64GB or RAM and a 4090 for just a bit more than the cost of the 4090. 45% off. I actually thought it was a 4080 GPU and couldn't believe I got what I got for the price I paid. It was a $3500 desktop and I paid $1850. I couldn't have built it for that price.

                                                      Spend you some brain.

                                                          Probably your best bet is Micro Center in the US, and Canada Computers in Canada. Both stores are really similar - large warehouse-style places with thousands of products.

                                                          I purchased 3 systems from them last year (AMD Ryzen 7 770X 8 Core CPU's at 4.5 GHz, 64 GB DDR5, 2TB SSD and 8TB HD and they were cool with a good discounted price. I built one of them into a desktop case, and the other 2 are sitting in my rack, all for a special project.

                                                          What you should consider though is the new Mac's, especially the new Apple Mac Mini M4. I just bought one: 24 Gigs of Ram, 1TB SSD, and 10GbE nic. This tiny little thing is ultra-fast, and not expensive at all.

                                                          Happy shopping!

                                                                      Sure.

                                                                      I used to enjoy planning out my next computer build, researching mother boards, buying memory from some guy in a dark alley, finding the right deal on a hard drive, and my favorite was the computer case... I used to go to local computer shows and find computers cases that fit my exact needs and I would buy them three or four at a time. Then you spend days actually building it, loading up the software, tweaking things to get everything just right....

                                                                      These days I spend thirty second picking a handful of options and then click on "buy". So much easier.

I noticed the motherboard is made in Vietnam and the Intel CPU is manufactured in IL (Israel?) and assembled in VN (Vietnam?), surprisingly nothing from PRC.

Seems it may be to do with the partition type MBR on the disk but GPT may be required now. It should be possible to set to legacy in the BIOS but it doesn't seem to be there. Looks like it will be necesssary to do something like this ...
