It racks up a total of $1200 Canadian (minus the screen which I already own). Purchasing the components separately (rather than buying a rebuilt computer) saves you A LOT of money. That $10,000 Dell computer, at the time you configured it, could have been built easily for $3000. You get the basic warranties on all the parts you purchase, and you know the quality your computer is in (because you assembled it yourself!). Not too hard to learn. Especially when it saves you extreme amounts of money. Well, my dream computer is the one I’m building.

Fri, 24 Aug 2007 14:08:25 +0000 http://www.everybodygoto.com/2007/08/20/what-is-your-dream-computer/#comment-46266 [...] Ali from Everybody Go To recently had a post about what would be your dream computer. He listed specs for 3 computers and none of them suited me. I started wondering what would be my dream computer. After wondering for a while why Apple doesn’t make a desktop machine slightly larger then the Mac Mini, with an actual graphics card that doesn’t have a monitor built into it. I finally came up with my answer, it isn’t exactly my dream computer however, my dream computer hasn’t been built yet but this is as close as I can get to it. My dream computer would be: [...] [...] Ali from Everybody Go To recently had a post about what would be your dream computer. He listed specs for 3 computers and none of them suited me.

I would prefer to have a desktop but the only problem is Apple doesn't offer a desktop that I like. I think the iMacs are terribly ugly, the Mac Mini doesn't have a graphics card, and the Mac Pro is just too expensive. If I could get a Mac Mini with a geforce 8600 I would be an incredibly happy man. My dream computer would probably be a 15.4″ MacBook Pro done up right for $2,998.

Oh, the notes I could take, the pictures I would draw, the fact that I wouldn't have to lug a 12lb monster XPS system to class everyday!
