What pre-built PCs are worth the money if i don't know (or want) to build my own PC?
Workstations
Macs
If you're going for Sup Forums, none are. Just buy off craigslist.
iMac
p much this, a good dell workstation will last for years, they just don't die and the service is great.. I had one in the office that started getting noisy fans, called them and next day someone came by, pulled out all the fans, psu/gpu, and put brand new ones in just to get it quiet again
wh wouldnt you want to build your own PC its simple shit its so simple en eleven year old black kid can do it
I'm not OP but people like my mom just won't hear it. She'd rather go without a computer than have one built, she wants the store stuff and that's that
It's so fucking easy you just put shit in the only spots that fit the components. Had to teach some autistic kid to do it, applied thermal paste like it was ketchup on fries and it still worked. You can watch one video about it and do it ffs
HP desktops last for years, unlike their shitty laptops. I'm still using mine, which is from 2007.
Just get a workstation.
Dell™
Good value
Reliable
Just don't fucking buy an HP
My Z820 was good.
HP Workstations are godly.
Even the regular consumer mid to high end line is idiot proofed.
none just tell us your budget
I think I'm developing dyslexia. I just read your post as "what are pre-built PCs are worth are the money if I don't know (or want) to build my own PC?"
You might as well get a laptop if you don't want to build it.
Custom builds aren't worth it for her use case. You're expected to provide support if you build it.
What kind of cases do PC builders here get?
I've noticed that most PC cases are huge. So much room for extra drives and other things that most people probably do not use. Do large PC cases necessarily get some kind of airflow advantage?
Crazy for upgrades I guess. This is also one of the times that too large is better than too small. Generally cords will reach but you can't shorten a graphics card ;^)
craigslist hahhahah yeah
Most PC builders like bigger cases to draw attention to their PC so they can stroke their e-peen.
Little ITX builds have been rising in popularity
They're cute and you can tuck them away places
Please don't tuck your ITX case in a tight space, you'll just perpetuate the misconception that small cases have shit airflow.
Give your ITX case the space it deserves.
Not like that, but you can fit it on top of your desk behind things, under your desk, it can be a piece of your home entertainment system
Oh, yeah that's fine.
I was on the cancer that is /r/battlestations and this guy had his ITX case in a fucking drawer and complained about temps. He literally cut holes in the back of the drawer for cables, but not anything for air.
Goddamn retard
Pic is only a CG image made for a comedic effect and definitely not a real product, right?
...
hahaha these memes have very good production value
So you're what, like, 15?
There's nothing funny about this thing.
It's absolutely real. Link:

HP hardware is generally alright, but I've worked on quite a few with insufficient CPU cooling. I'm also not crazy about vertically stacking hard drives. I have no hard evidence that this would shorten HDD life though.
What an offence to taste and decency
>What an offense to muh fee-fees! Someone likes something that I don't like!
Say what you want, but this case has a purpose.
It prevents GPU sag, by having the GPU upright.
>sag
>compared to dropping shit inside your PC
BUT MUH RGB COMPONENTS
What the fuck?
Who has their case placed where there's a risk of stuff falling on top of it?
This case was primarily made to be mounted to a wall, that would not be a concern at all.
What are the pros/cons of each color cooling fluid?
Do you let your wife walked around like that naked and exposed? You do don't you, you perverted byproduct of these unGodly times
Fuck off
Why does it have two superfluous pipe segments?
You shamefully clothe your feeemales?
...
Any are worth it, what's an extra 50 bux to just let some fag in a factory put your legos together?
...
Im surprised that they even did this.
Maybe you should fuck off you stupid tripfag.
Enterprise support is the what makes them money in the first place, they aren't going to fuck it up.
Blue runs cooler, but da red wunz go fasta
So if I bought one a workstation from them they would give that support?
this
enterprise support and it's quality are what sell computers in lots to businesses
None they're all overpriced garbage with weak PSU that leave no room for upgrades. You're better off building your own desktop, it's not as hard as you think. An hour or two watching youtube tutorials and you will know enough to put one together and what to do if something does go wrong.
Also I politely request you don't post that frog anymore, it's a dead meme that r3ddit and other under-age websites are trying to bring back to life. It disgusts me to see it and most of the time I won't respond to the thread if the OP there posts it.
It's not the same tripfag.
and it's just not worth the time spent picking out parts for the best price and then putting shit together and hoping your sausage fingers can plug in the mobo headers without bending them. at least not for a low power/low end machine, you can get a used c2d machine for under an hundred bucks and it'll hand most daily driver tasks you throw at it just fine.
...
nice meme
put your trip back on, you're not fooling anyone you goddamn flaming retard
no, enterprise support is contract based and the contract usually involves and exclusivity agreement so you only use their machines and you have to use a certain number of their machines to make it worth their while. though if you're friendly with the it department you might be able to purchase through your work and have it covered that way
>used
Anyway that's what this website exists: logicalincrements.com
>implying there's anything wrong with refurbished enterprise machines, and logical increments isn't constantly kept up to date with sales and shit so you don't get the best deal, which is part of the point of building your own, but like I said if we're talking low end machine then it's simply not worth it to roll your own
Building a computer can be fucking scary, you are essentially doing tech surgery with parts that are sometimes $300+. Every first newbling breaks a sweat when the retention bracket on the cpu encasement requires an absolute fuckton amount of pressure to seat.
>one's a shitposting redditor
>the other is a shitposting redditor with a tripcode
Yeah, you should both probably just fuck off.
That reminds me. Is this a bad place to put a computer for airflow reasons?
>dat trash on the floor
yeah you're not tidy enough to have your pc on the floor bruh, also your lack of cable management triggers my autism
I need to buy some cable binders. And you ain't much fucking mom
>I can't use my brain for 5 minutes to come up with a better build and don't understand logical increments is just a guideline
Here's a great $130 ultra budget build for office use: pcpartpicker.com
Here's a great $200 budget build for entry-level gaymen on medium-high 720p settings: pcpartpicker.com
>imblying he didn't just change his password out of embarrassment
so then you admit that research is necessary, and for a cheap ass machine it's not worth it, not when you can get something like this for under seventy bucks
newegg.com
just admit it, unless you enjoy that shit it's not worth the time or energy for a low end machine
˃No I'm serious cute tomato is just a shitposting moniker anons randomly adopt to fuck with newfags like you. You're pretty new here aren't you :-˃
Aww, it thinks it's an oldfag.
>implying you even know what public trips were
>implying you were even here when they were relevant
>inb4 rei clones
>so then you admit that research is necessary
some, nigga is 5 minutes really that fucking much? That hp turd also has a constantly overheating 45nm cpu and 55nm gpu and a shit PSU with no room to upgrade. Whereas the AM1 build I suggested has a igpu (HD 8280) with about 4X as much as performance as the Radeon HD 4200 and a 380W PSU with a 11A 12v rail (up to 231W) for a dedicated graphics card in the future.
yeah and not one's upgrading a pos machine, overheating is just your bullshit excuse, and for someone new to building it takes fucking more than five minutes to find what you want and figure out if it's all compatible then figure out how much of a power supply you need. stop deluding yourself user
Just fucking kill me now with an led light up gamer gun
Yeah there are some nice Cyberpower PCs
used workstation from ebay + square trade warranty.
If you pay for that support.
It's actually cheaper to buy a used prebuilt then add on to it (and sell the obsolete hardware you don't want).
For instance you can buy some old workstations with quadro's and BD-R drives in them. That's usually about $150.
Sell that off and stick a GTX series card in there, and who needs a blu ray burner anyway?
>None they're all overpriced garbage with weak PSU that leave no room for upgrades.
Hasn't been true for several years.
