People are usually wary about their customer service, but honestly, it's pretty fucking good now. A few months ago, I overwrote Windows with a faulty version of Linux and didn't have my CDs - they sent me the CDs, free of charge, in about a day. They then followed that up with e-mailing me and asking if I needed any help or if there were any difficulties, etc. It was impressive. tigerdirect has a lot of offers, but for every gaming computer you look at on there, you're going to probably want dual processing power and, at the very least, a gig of RAM. After that, go to CNET and read the reviews from other saps that've already bought the product that interests you. Is this one good? Seems pretty nice. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3977879&CatId=1897 Cunning Stunt Posted at 9:03 am on July 19, 2008 Quote: from MXfreak at 11:51 am on July 19, 2008 go to best buy and ask one of the nerd workers Worst. Advice. Ever. BestBuy fucking sucks. factboy01 Posted at 9:02 am on July 19, 2008 You should consider going to Best Buy or Circuit City, and purchase an HP Pavilion dv6700 series. They easily beat Dell's inspiron series, and even some of their mid-ranged PC's at around $600. DELL SUCKS! Sorry. circa Posted at 9:01 am on July 19, 2008 Quote: from violaghost at 11:58 am on July 19, 2008 DO NOT get an Acer or a Dell. Those are the two worst brands on the market right now. Back that up, please? Reefer Posted at 8:59 am on July 19, 2008 Amazon or Ebay. OR WAL MART!? violaghost Posted at 8:58 am on July 19, 2008 DO NOT get an Acer or a Dell. Those are the two worst brands on the market right now. HP offers good quality and features, although it's not the coolest design in the world. Toshiba and Gateway also have some very good models in that price range. I just conducted a half a year laptop search, so if you sent me the names of some stores you shop in, I'd be glad to help you out.
