NBVegita Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 !@#$%^&* I'll build you one, minus the water cooling system, as you definately don't need it lol PM me with the specs you want.
rootbear75 Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Posted October 16, 2007 a cold cpu runs faster than a hot cpu
Dav Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 yeah but you only need water cooling when you over clock the CPU to melting point and a fan just wont do any more. There are some very good fans out there now so you have to pump up the juice a lot before you get there.
Dav Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 laptops are fine as long as yopu truly use it as a laptop and not leave it on your desk all the time.
NBVegita Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Trust me, you don't need a liquid cooling system.
rootbear75 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Posted October 17, 2007 laptops are statistically more expensive than desktops to get the same amount of power !@#$%^&* I'll build you one, minus the water cooling system, as you definately don't need it lol PM me with the specs you want.and i basically want that computer(something that shouldnt need to be upgraded at all for the next 5 years) tho i want an estimate before u build it
Suicide_Run Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Why dont u just go and buy those 500$ comps out there? They aint that bad and can work well for awhile before you need to upgrade it. And yea, laptops are pretty dam useless unless u carry it around with you to places or ur in res in uni/collage
Samapico Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Define 'need' to be upgraded... Do you want to be able to play the most graphic-intensive game that comes out in 5 years with all the maximum settings? Or do you want to be able to use Word 2012?
rootbear75 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) i want to be able to play my games on full graphical settings..i like them like that like halo 2 atm is lagging like !@#$%^&* cause my video card sucks..and since its still under warranty, any modification i do to it voids the warranty(im looking at the 4-year accidental warranty, not mfr warranty) and forget bioshock...that wont even run on my laptop or computer Edited October 17, 2007 by rootbear75
Incomplete Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 You could get all of that alot cheaper if you build a similar one yourself. What PC are you using now? What are the specs? Holy crap....that PC uses alot of power, better not leave it on all day otherwise the bill would be a little expensive :/
rootbear75 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) its called College... i dont pay for the bill specs of my laptophttp://www.ts.vcu.edu/g2g/images/StudentT.jpgup to 7 hours my !@#$%^&*... the most i ever got out of it was 3.5 to 4 Edited October 18, 2007 by rootbear75
ThunderJam Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 MY boss at my internship today (at national libary of medicine's office of high performance computing) had a computing magazine laying on his desk that I glanced through for a bit, though I can't remember which magazine it was. It ranked recent computer systems in different categories, one being gaming. I noticed the blackbird fell behind like two other systems that were rated better.
rootbear75 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Posted October 18, 2007 do u remember what were they? and if they were cheaper?
Samapico Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 here's some comparisonshttp://review.zdnet.com/desktops/hp-blackb...6-32592299.html
rootbear75 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Posted October 18, 2007 The bottom line: HP's Blackbird 002 earns the highest rating this editor has ever given a desktop PC. Its design rivals the Apple Mac Pro, it takes risks that benefit your upgrade path, it's fast, and it's compe!@#$%^&*ively priced. If you can afford it, and you want a high-end gaming PC, buy this one. End of story.
Incomplete Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 Why would you want to spend that much money on a PC that isn't that great?
Samapico Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 What do you mean 'isn't that great' ? The review says it's the best they tested yet... And I don't doubt it's probably the most powerful gaming machine on the market now... But still, I wouldn't spend that much money on that... I don't see the point of having 160 FPS in Quake 4 when your screen only shows 60 and your eyes only see like 30. And since I don't play recent games anyway, I don't give a !@#$%^&*.Every shooter game is almost the same, so they all get boring (OH MY GOD I GOTZ THAT BIG WEAPONZ)... Goldeneye and Perfect Dark are more than enough for me. Half-life was fun. But once you went through it there's not much left to do. And I'm not a fan of getting my !@#$%^&* kicked by people who lag and spend all their day doing that online.And... well... only games that require a bigger graphic card than your keyboard are shooters.So I can still play any other good game I want without that huge !@#$%^&* computer that would cost me 10 times more than my current computer...And I still have a pretty powerful computer... 2.8GHz dual core 1GB RAM and a 512MB 7300GT. I'll still be able to play my favorite games in 10 years so I don't care about upgrading much. In fact, all the games I currently play, I play them with every setting at maximum
jacob hunter! Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 Why dont u just go and buy those 500$ comps out there?

And yea, laptops are pretty dam useless unless u carry it around with you to places or ur in res in uni/collage Laptops are much better then just that.... For example, connecting to other peopels internet $$$ You cannot beat that
rootbear75 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Posted October 18, 2007 well apparently, veg said he can give me a similar machine without vista for about half that price Why dont u just go and buy those 500$ comps out there?

And yea, laptops are pretty dam useless unless u carry it around with you to places or ur in res in uni/collage Laptops are much better then just that....

Samapico Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 you use the laptop to watch furry porn in your basement so your parents can't catch you, then you go rant on how cool you are for owning an iGadget
candygirl Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) I like laptops and ipods This is about PC and laptops not phones and ipodsDell has a good pc for about $600.00The only other shooter i play is socom 3 on the ps2. I think its funny sneaking up on some one and shooting them in the head lol Too bad its not for the pc. Edited October 18, 2007 by candygirl
