TheMightyEthan Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I wouldn't have put one in if I didn't already have this one. But it's not like I needed the drive bay or IDE slot for anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangelove Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Maybe for like, Solitaire or Ski Free... On another note, why are pc cases and laptops so goddamn ugly? I think the only decent looking laptops have been VAIOS, and thats about it. Maybe some ASUS laptops. On the other hand, pc cases ALWAYS look like absolute turds. I don't get it. Every other electronic can and has been made to look sleek and attractive(consoles, tvs, phones, coffee machines, toasters, microwaves, etc), but not pc cases. They still look like something the original XBOX shit out. Get some goddamn taste, PC guys. Edited August 8, 2014 by Strangelove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 It's the same model as the one I got in 2012. Still works like a champ. The greatest computer ever? Probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I have the late 2012 one. Works about the same as when I got it. Same speed and everything. I will say that Chrome sucks on it though. Is it just a Mac thing or does Chrome just suck now in general? I really used to like it on PC.

TCP Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I use Chrome on my Mac tower and MacBook and find it works great. Firefox sucks now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I guess I just prefer Safari now, which is something I thought Id never say. Do you have a lot of browser plug ins? I used to use a lot of them and I found that Safari was by far the most stable with too many additives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. GOH! Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I've been hearing only Nvidia is the sound way forward on PC. I imagine you're in that group, GOH? Yeah, I have a new GTX 970. It's a wonderful graphics card and has given me no problems with any games.

SomTervo Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Brill, I'm slowly bringing together all the bits I'd like for my own perfect desktop, I'll take note of this and what you've said elsewhere. Probably a purchase for mid-next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I'm at the point where to upgrade anything I pretty much have to upgrade everything* (at least to get the benefit of the upgrade), so it's a pretty high barrier. *GFX card, mobo and CPU. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 The best computer I have is a mid-range laptop from two years ago, which is my gf's so I can't really use it. And by 'mid-range from two years ago', I mean two years ago it was mid-range. For a non-gaming laptop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 There are games I wanted to play on console that I could not play on PC. As of yet there have been no games I want to play on PC that I can't play on console and that my current PC can't run. As soon as there is such a game I will upgrade my computer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRevanchist Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Poor, poor, GOH!. Here I thought was a man who upheld the belief that people have the right to choose. Little did I know he was a conformist that wanted everyone else to conform to his PC ways. Democracy is now dead, comrads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baconrath Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 This is my case. Dis is mah specs: Definitely will need a better hard drive in the future. I mean, it works really well but it's not as fast as I'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Could pick up an SSD in future, can provide quite the boost. Getting cheaper all the time too. Mines actually as large as your mechanical drive. Also: ewww. White case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
