I fell in love with the AMD chip when I bought my current machine 5+ years
ago. I went over the counter, Compaq, paid through the nose (insurance
settlement) and was very happy for 3 and a half years. around 2 years ago I
started having problems with my beloved machine, and while it still allows
me to access the internet, my Cd and DvD drives have long ago bit the big
one. So now, I am ready to take the next step and get my next machine, and
here lies my quandary. I am not sure I am ready to build my own, but I don't
trust any of the pre-builts available, and I really want to hold down my
costs this time. I've shopped the configure your own sites, but the only one
that could give me what I feel I should have to allow me another 5 year
period before buying again was AlienWare, and the end result there was over
$5k.
I need help friends, I need some direction before I get so frustrated I make
one of those "buyers remorse" decisions that has my wife kicking my tail for
the next 10 years. Is there a website out there that can point me in the
right direction, maybe even help me to build my own? Please don't suggest
taking a class at the local community college, I am disabled and
logistically, lets just say ordering from Tiger and building here would be
my best interest, but I still need help with choices and direction for
assembly.
If anyone could give me directions, I do thank you so much in advance.
