A well built computer defined~~

One that doesnt come in a box with 3 months of free AOL.

One that doesnt look like a plexiglass nightmare.

One that has real hardware in it.

One that has a real operating system with it.

One that can be upgraded.

One that you built.

A well built computer -

Does what it was built to do.


My idea of a nice computer -

1. Nice big tower case with at least 4 5inch bays, plenty of room inside to keep things neat and airflow non-restricted.

2. 450watt PSU, 1.2GHz + CPU, Abit or Asus mobo that supports raid, and ATA133 and at least 2GB RAM, plenty of PCI expansion slots.

3. WD or Maxtor HD, at least 40GB and ATA133, (2 for RAID 0) GeForce4 Ti, SB Audigy, 17inch or more Flat Panel LCD. DVD Rom and CDRW drives, and of course the network card connected to DSL.

A well built computer:

Anything packaged and sold by PC World, preferably if it was made by Packard Bell. These two companies are the very definition of professionalism, providing top spec hardware at bargain basement prices, to professionals and newbies alike, catering for all aspects of upgrade and improvement and allowing for as much user control and flexibility as possible. Marry this with a winning customer care mentality, a shop floor staffed with real experts and a storeroom thats always got exactly what you want, and you can't go wrong.

Sorry - I've been drinking. I'll just have a little lie down.

Real answer: The till in Arkright's shop in "Open All Hours". Did what it was built to do and didn't break down once.

IMHO, anouther criteria would have to be one built totally *without* anything with the word 'ACER' printed on it.

Geez 'Tom' - U had me worried.

Your post read (at first) like it was from PCWorld company guy doing a little advertising...

Note:
The till (drawer) in 'Open All Hours' was operated by a stage-hand - located behind the set; he watched for his moments on a small local monitor...; he was a highly skilled and superbly trained BBC staffer... in PB days (Pre-Birt'ism days).
