Title: New Computer Set Up - advice pls Post by: GreekStein on September 28, 2009, 12:51:57 PM I was asking Kin advice on msn but he didn't seem to grasp that I don't want to spend £8k on 9 monitors that double into a small aircraft and can take my family on holidays.
I don't have a budget as such but want to spend less than £1k, the lower the better. I want a new desktop with 2 largish screens. Advice pls. Title: Re: New Computer Set Up - advice pls Post by: kinboshi on September 28, 2009, 12:52:46 PM ::)

Title: Re: New Computer Set Up - advice pls Post by: neildawson on September 28, 2009, 02:12:16 PM Yu huh, £940 by my calculations
*Edit* Sorry, PC link updated Title: Re: New Computer Set Up - advice pls Post by: kinboshi on September 28, 2009, 02:13:38 PM £727+£218+£218 = £1,163
That sure is £940. Your ninja edit gets you off with just a caution this time ;) Title: Re: New Computer Set Up - advice pls Post by: GreekStein on September 28, 2009, 02:15:27 PM Thanks Neil, over budget though *sigh*

You don't actually need a new PC do you? I'm sure your existing one is fast enough just for playing poker but might need the odd tweak here and there. Come on PC nerds help him out. £342 for 3 x new screens as recommended by Mr Prince. I would think there's some kind of upgrade to allow him to run them for £200 tops? Title: Re: New Computer Set Up - advice pls Post by: kinboshi on September 28, 2009, 03:45:34 PM I'd get Rookie's Cube thing. Very nice. So cheap as well compared to what you'd get for that money a few years back.
Do it Cos. Win the £300 this weekend and then....oh no, you're not there. Shame. Title: Re: New Computer Set Up - advice pls Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on September 28, 2009, 03:48:54 PM Ok ok Cos... £650 and I will pay the taxi and won't delete my porn off of it. (And that's a lot of porn)

They ended up sending AOC F22's (I think, in bed now and can't be arsed to go downstairs and look). I don't know if there is a big difference in performance or not (if anyone who knows anything about monitors care to look please let me know) but the looks are a lot different. I think I like them though.. Title: Re: New Computer Set Up - advice pls Post by: titaniumbean on October 15, 2009, 02:36:16 AM I will admit I am clueless.
I bought a 28" hanngs age ago. They are/were ridiculously cheap and i've never heard of them. But it's never not worked and is huge and great picture quality. |
