Best Computer to Buy?? - GoFuckYourself.com

mike217 · 10-05-2006, 06:48 AM

Well, my personal computer took a huge crash last night and is fried. I am in the market for a new computer and wondered what everyone else was using. I have 2 dell desktops currently that I use for work and a macbook and a dell laptop for work. I am looking for a personal computer that could also be used for work. I'm probably going to make this new one a work computer and use one of the others for personal.

So, basically what I need is something that will be quite high powered. I do a lot of video editing and also do web development. I have been looking at dell and alienware, but have heard bad things about them. Can anyone reccomend a good brand. Before anyone says build it yourself, I am not skilled enough in building PC's to build my own. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks all.

Best computer is your own custom computer which you make it from various components.I never bough in my life brand name computer(except commodore hehe)

I still recommend a Dell...but be sure to get a Precision Workstation...you'll get a better PC than if you get a Dimension...and you'll also get US Tech Support...not so if you get a Dimension

Good to hear Dell is working well. Heard mixed reviews about them. If I go with them, I'm looking at an XPS system. Klen, you know how long it would take me to learn to build a comp. I know the basics, just not how to put everything together.

pretty expensive, but great systems.

Im with Dell, buy one every 3 yrs. If you know how but most of all if you wanna spend a week with a screwdriver in your hand make one yself, other then that, the XPS are really nice, pretty fast and good for editing for sure.

Thanks for the help guys, I think I will be going with a dell.

Let me know if you can think of any other good companies though.
