I can, and also will accept that Rawr, the best way to gudge compenents is personal experiance so thats fine. All I am saying is that every rosewill I have ever used has been great, I would be willing to trust my PC to them and I have also heard good things from others who have used them. You are infact the first with a bad experiance I have encountered.

Again though I want to point out that you said you went cheap for a rosewill and that i claim nothing to be true of the cheap rosewills. Even great brands that have cheap options have a good chance of them being junk so not sure what to say here.

 

[mindful23]

Exactly.

I agree with Green.


Seriously... most people say Dells suck. And I hate Dell. But the thing is... Dell's low end junk at Wal-Mart sucks. Dell's XPS system aren't junk. Those systems are generally high-quality.

But I hate Dells cause I work in a PC store where people bring in Dells they bought from Wal-Mart and have 256mb RAM on a Windows machine.

It is just about the quality product you intend to buy from the brand. Every crap brand has good products for the right money. If you settle for cheap... you take your chances on low quality products.

Mindful is starting to grow on me. Even though we disagree alot. He is a good bear. I would try to say that the Dell XPS systems are almost a redeeming product for dell, but the problem is that when you look at the price tag you always ask yourself: "Wtf is this in yen?"

 

[mindful23]

Well yeh. The price is ridiculous but that doesn't mean the components are.

 

[rawr]

it is pretty unarguable that the XPS's are freakin sweet.
