i need a new computer, but i have no cc.
i'm 19, and i've only just started to make some half decent money with design and im getting steady work now...
i dont have it all up front (looking to spend $3500), so i'd like to pay it in payments like $120 a month or whatever... but i dont have any proof of credit since i'm all freelance and shit, so how would i go about actually getting financed or whatever to be able to pay payments.. do i *need* a CC to do this? i called dell and asked them if i could pay payments w/ a debit card and they said no, have to pay within 3 days... i also tried signing up for their preferred finance shit, and got denied. my parents wont let me use their shit cause their credit is already bad, so they wont do as a cosign... any ideas? i need one very quick, this thing is really fuckin up and goin down the shitter. |

You can have one for like $1k. Just use your old keyboard, mouse monitor etc... why buy the whole set? When you have more money buy the missing parts.

but i dont wanna wait.. and i don't want to build my own computer, not enough time to deal w/ that shit. i spent $3200 on this computer and its lasted me this long, might as well go all out on another one. i really dont give a shit about how expensive it is.. i dont care... its just that people have told me i prolly wouldn't get approved with a CC, so i'm screwed in a way. |

You don't need a fancy-assed killer system to design galleries. I'm still using a p3-600 for a lot of my work. I'm typing this on it now. Its three years old and I like it... I'm used to it... its my friend...
You can get a comparable machine for a few hundred bucks (without the 21" monitor and dvd burner). Good enough to make galleries and free or avs sites. If you want to play games, ask your parents for a loan. Get a cheap machine and start working. garce |

Well then, if you have no credit, do you have money in the bank? Savings, loans, T-Bills? I'm not sure where you're from, but recently I needed money to start a site and - not being one to keep much cash on hand - I got a loan against a GIC (Guaranteed Investment Certificate) I'd previously bought.
If you have the collateral, the bank will give you a loan against the money. Its just a matter of paying back what you spend and a minimal interest charge. Ok, I'm getting on the bad side of drunk and will stop giving advice now ![]() garce |

Don't be greedy. Make the money first. If the computer's lasted this long, it'll last a month longer. You said you'd have the cash in a month.

Buy what you can afford to buy now. Be patient, i know thats hard when your young and your getting your first taste of real money, but trust me, you don't want to start living beyond your means, thats a bad habit and a very hard one to break. You say that you are just now getting bigger projects, but it sounds like you haven't been paid for them yet, i'm sure you know the old saying "don't count your chickens before they hatch" |

honestly, you really don't need that for designing, and you definitely don't for games. a friend of mine is a 3d designer and he uses like a 2.2ghz dell laptop for all his work, including really high-end 3d rendering. my 2400 w/ 512mb ram and radeon 9700/128mb plays the newest games without a hitch. ut2k3 turned all the way up doesn't slow it down a second, and with the 8mb cache drives, levels load just like the original ut did on my old box. i paid about 750$ for that, minus the monitor and soundcard and stuff. and you can get a pretty nice live card (or audigy) for like $100. i also bought a lian-li with that money. granted, i have an expensive monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, and soundcard, but i doubt you need 450w klipsch speakers to make a nice website. i rarely use my plat sb, except for the headphone jack, and a dvd burner would be nice, but not necessary. i also have over 300gb of hdd space in this box, and most of that came with the price i paid. i can run and use flash mx, fireworks, photoshop, golive, gaim, winamp, outlook and more on my box, using them all at once, and it doesn't hiccup at all. i also have a killer freaking mb that is about twice the price what you'd need. get yourself a biostar, 1gb ram, 64mb+ vid, athlon 2400 and you're set. it'll play all your games, too.

![]() i doubt i'll be upgrading for doom3, or what sounds like might even be better still, the new half-life. i'm sure my machine will run it just fine, considering how well it runs games like ut2k3 and splinter cell... besides, $3500 for a desktop? i put together an extreme system, with like .5 terabytes of raid built in, and it still was only like $2500 ![]()

I have a Dell P3-600 (it had 128MB RAM and 30GB HD, I upgraded it to 376MB and got a 2nd 80GB HD a few months ago) I bought 3 years ago and it is running sweet. I plan to buy a new computer just in 2 years.
I dont use it to play, maybe just some simple games like emulators and games from the 90s (love them). I wouldnt buy a computer in payments, just if it blowed up and I had no other computer to work with. |

financing it means that you are paying WAY more than a cash buy there.
Just wait the month and save the loot up man. Also, you can get great stuff from ebay as well or wait til someone here on the boards needs some loot. One of my crew bought a digital camera from here and got a really nice camera few bucks lower than you can get the same machine in any store and it works great. herb K |

Check out http://www.newegg.com. I know several people that have built their own PCs with parts from there and nobody has spent more than $2000 even for the most kickass systems (minus a monitor).
