ResidentWeevil2077 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Take me for example: I have a fairly decent rig now, and I only paid about $1600 CAD (~$1100 USD - not sure :unsure: ), so I'm positive you can find something that will meet your needs and not break the bank lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoogieMonster Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 thank you for your insight, but im curious, all i ever see on ebay is just parts, where do i go on it so i can actually find a COMPUTER (lol) DO NOT BUY A GAMING RIG FROM EBAY. Over the last few weeks there have been several people on several gaming forums that purchased gaming rigs from ebay only to be horrified at finding out that the previous owners "neglected" to mention that the pc's had been MAC-banned (hardware banned) from several major gaming sites, usually for cheating or hacking.

1Prelude Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Well I"m quite happy with mine. As with any ebay purchase though, go with your gut feel. Check out the seller and see how many sales/ratings he has. There are plenty of reputable online stores in ebay that sell for great prices. If you don't have anything specific in mind, just search for barebones pc. That will get you a case, power supply, motherboard, cpu, an average amount of memory, and onboard graphics/network/sound/etc. Then you can use your current pc's hardrive. (or buy a bigger one if you want) You'll want to buy a graphics card a little more specifically, though. Like I said, I bought my Radeon 1950 for under $150 and am very happy with the way it runs all my games. (Can run anything on full graphics settings) So yeah you can run into lemons on the internet, but chances are you won't if you're wary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsessed117 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 If you build your own PC then the price is down considerably. But the cost of a pc bundle you see at stores is generally raised up because they use expensive keyboards, monitors, speakers...when usually I have everything already except a new monitor. (good monitors make the price go up quite a lot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
