squiggy Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 built my own,but if i had to choose just one,then i would have to say apple,because i've been using a mac that has OS 7.5.3,and it is still kicking.(i think sometimes it can actually outperform any pc i'm using now!):) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/27201-what/#findComment-245558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

altezza Veteran Posted May 16, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2002 I used to have Compaq computer, the first one was back in 1995 when my dad bought me 486DX2-66mhz Compaq Presario computer. Then in 2000 my dad bought another Compaq Presario PIII-750 and until now he's still using it. Too bad Compaq is no longer exist since it has merged with HP, but the memory remains :D But now, I like my own-built computer :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/27201-what/#findComment-245592 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkenMaster Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Originally posted by freeza dell Why did you vote for Dell. Sure they -might- make good computers (I havent used one) but if they stay in business too long you'll have to put up with that stupid idiot teenager who trys to sell everyone a Dell on TV. Dell wouldn't be my first choice, but it would rank much higher if it wasn't for that stupid kid. Personally, I choose myself. Cheaper to buy inidvidual parts and you know the brand names of the components inside. Plus, no shipping and handling charges. Otherwise, I would have picked SGI. Sure, they're computers are expensive as hell and in some cases, Intel/AMD computers will outperform the desktop models but you gotta love the hi-res OpenGL rendering they will do. I should start saving so that I can afford one in 10 years. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/27201-what/#findComment-246650 Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKer Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I build my own PCs but my favourite componant manufacturer is nVidia as their nForce has proven unbeleivable stable and their graphics/sound unbeatable. Also like MSI for mobos. Never bought a pre-built machine as so many of my friends have and the parts included have been sub-standard, and often no spare expansion space is included.

iStorm^ Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I built both of my PC's myself, however I think that Dell makes some good ones. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/27201-what/#findComment-247562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulladle Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Mine's in the signature but I also have a Duron 1Ghz and 800Mhz that I have built as well. At least you know what's in your machine when you've put it in there and don't have any nasty suprises when you open the box (crippled proprietary MB's being the major one I've come across in other peoples PC's).
