[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]OS aren't expensive, especially if you're a student. I can get XP for like 30 bucks and vista for 50.lowe0

Student pricing, huh? I seem to recall someone giving me some BS lecture about arguments that don't apply in all circumstances. I wonder who that was?

What, is the clear logic too much for you?

Do you know what the word "especially" means?

[QUOTE="karasill"]You don't, but why would you assemble a pc with next to no knowledge about it? That's like me getting a crash course on how to assemble an engine in 5 minutes. Do you expect anyone to feel confident that they can do it? Sure I might be able with common sense and the little knowledge I have, but it sure as heck wouldn't be pretty nor would I get the best results compared to if I actually went to a week long class about it.Vandalvideo

[QUOTE="EmperorSupreme"]I don't think you can burn it off with Vista, don't you have to go thru activation.Vandalvideo

pc gamers........ NO I dont know any students I can bum off of. The hermits try to play out pc gaming like any one on these forums "besides the hermits" care! Yes if you know what you are doing and people, you can get a some what cheap pc. I just dont care enough to even try. Consoles are plug and play virus free and graphics getting better each gen. Graphics will level out on day and the precious pc graphics wont matter.

[QUOTE="Funkyhamster"]The problem is, PCs don't last as long as consoles... have you tried playing Far Cry on a high-end PC built in 2001? Theoretically the PC should be able to handle it, if it "lasts as long as a console."Vandalvideo

Heh, I played Far Cry with that card as well. It actually ran the game pretty well despite being a cheap graphics card. Cutscenes were kind of laggy, though.

Since we like to shop online and use online prices, my buddy bought his 360 online for 250 dollars, i guess console gaming is cheaper then amiright?

I said 1950, not 7950. You're right, it's a high-end XP rig.

It is just sad that some people dont realize that.

[QUOTE="EmperorSupreme"][QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="lowe0"]

Mid-level Antecs are good PSUs (I had a TP430, and now have a TPTrio 550), but I don't think their 12v rail has enough current for an 8800. You may want to step that PSU up a little.

Also, I don't see an OS anywhere on that list.

Vandalvideo

That's fine if your a student, but for people in the real world Vista is $99 for the basic edition (which is garbage) and up to $299 for Ultimate.

Ok, so I should steal my software, now?

every pc gamer is enjoying HD games with their pc,

some console gamers are still in front of sd-tv waiting to shell out 600-1000+ dollars for teh "HD EXPEIRIENCES!!

dont forget

RROD
expensive peripherals (20gb= 100 dolars lawl)
games more expensive
multiplats are inferiror
pay for content that should be freeRiki101

Not according to Wok7! lol

[QUOTE="UnknownSniper65"]that would be great if I knew how to put it together...lolkarasill

Now it's, steal the software (if you're not a student, you are violating the license - same as stealing), and take a course in computer hardware...
