ThunderWizard reacted to ShaTR in Experiences with non-techies
Some guy called my office, trying to sell me computers. I just said "oh you mean those little box's with the tv on top? Yeah, our accountant has some". He promptly gave up and hung up the phone lol

ThunderWizard reacted to Slick in Scrapyard Wars Followup Showdown
1. Budget & Location
$400USD
any stores in US/Canada
Cannot go over budget
do not count Mail in Rebate
2. Aim
Items must be new in box
Must be bought from a store, what store doesn't matter but shipping cost and taxes must be factored into the price
The goal of this post is to create the best computer from NIB parts from a store that we can in order to have it compete with the scrapyard wars computers
Must be a fully functioning computer with storage, a case... etc, but no OS required.

ThunderWizard reacted to dylan43270 in [US- Newegg] Console killing PC $380
This looks like a pretty sweet deal, the GPU kinda sucks, but I am pretty sure it will run most games better than consoles. You could always upgrade the GPU in the future.
