I say Compaq has better computers, and that Dell overprices theirs a ton.

Sounds like what happens when Mnemonix tries to cook.

Its like the ONE good PC they have. I stumbled upon it by mistake and instantly fell in love. So I went to Compusa and stole it.

My clients keep doors from slamming with Dells. They also use compaq by tossing them out the window to keep the swarms of rabbid monkies at bay. I pitty the fool that gets hit on the head with a stray compaq.

That is an extremely ugly PC, and once the parts are easily accessible, it will be a fraction of the cost to make it yourself.

I honestly cannot imagine buying a prebuilt computer. It just doesn't compute with my brain's circuitry. My computer is just several old cell phones and calculators soldered together with Windows XP running emulated on J2ME.

My brains circuitry runs so that it actually converts to kenetic energy before the information completes its rounds, thus the continuous jerking motion of the head and other limbs... theres a slice or two of an old grapefruit and maybe to matchbox cars and some pogs in there too. I also think my Japanese Charizard with the blood drops on it is in there too but i havent checked in a while. I hope my drivers CD is in there two or else im just going to have to keep on guessing whats on the screen like ive been doing... I still dont believe this is Web M.D., which is killin me (no really) because i need to know whats happening to me...

EDIT: Oh yea, I have a compaq lappy. I like compaqs computers better but Dell has better accessories. Like flat panel monitors... but im not about to pay out the arss for one of those! Im gettin me one out of the garbage. Im building a PC as we speak... or i... shut up.

EDIT AGAIN: I found parts for my secondary PC and I could shell out less than $200 for a 2.3 ghz 512 ram piece of secondary crap.

Dell is the biggest rip off ever. The only way they sell cheap is by selling you a big box with the word "computer" on the side of it.(that was a movie wasn't it?). Dirt cheap, but worthless.

Go buy a real computer.
