build ya own ya cheap gits

[madhaha]

Manufacturers currently have a profit margin of approximately £10 per machine. You want to deprive them of that money and have no warranty on your machine and call us cheap gits?

[USS Delta]

but you get exactly what you want in your pc. besides, you get warranties on the parts anyway

[madhaha]

Manufacturers can do PC's to order for an extra £5. You let them risk screwing up the computer and taking the responsibility for example if you damage the CPU while installing a heatsink.

 

A warranty for parts is only good for as long as the company hasn't gone bust (a common thing for budge components). Doing it through a manufacturer usually gets you a better deal warranty and insurance-wise and they'd get you equivilent replacement parts if the previous component manufacturer went bust.

 

The reward you get from building your own PC isn't in the savings or the belief that you've learned something in the process. All you want is the -*BAD WORD*- thing to work after you've done all the screws. Getting it from a manufacturer means they're legally obliged to ensure that this is what you get and within a decent timeframe too.

Now...back on subject...this happened like a year ago but it just came to memory:

I turned on my computer as I always do in the morning...didnt change anything....and when I opened Cont. I noticed there was a much higher res available than what was there before. I normally use 1600 by 1200...but this one was something in the 2000's by 1900...i think...and so I set it to that option and entered a zone. After I entered the zone...everthing seemed to load ok...in a much higher res than I was used to...but a red message (I believe it was from my monitor) came up in the middle of the screen that said "PC SETTING CORRECT?" and then the monitor shut off after 10 seconds. Appearently my monitor didnt like that res, although everything looked perfectly fine for the 10 seconds. Then the next day, things were back to normal, with a max res of only 1600 by 1200 in the menu...and it hasn't come back since. Anyone know what might've happened that one special day? No, I didnt change any settings or mess with drivers or anything...it was just an avereage day. I want that really high res back!!

[MikeTheNose]

Fluffy White Bunny, If I were to tell you how to get that res back, instead of buying a new moniter that supports that resolution and using the old for whatever you wanted, you'd be buying a new moniter to replace the old broken one.

[CeinWyN MaN+]

To get the res back have you tried pressing CTRL - A and ticking show default resolutions?

[Fluffy White Bunny]

Yeah I tried that....The higher res was also in the windows display settings menu that day.

[Jericho24.]

that is a bug in DirectX i believe
