Computer for Grandma

I might end up just getting a dell. Just cause I'm not always around just in case something breaks. or something with customer service.
 
yeah, surf the net and email. Dude, you're getting a Dell. You can't beat them for the price, warrenty, support. I hate them. 9/10 people that want me to build them a puter. I tell them, for what you need, better off getting a Dell.
 
 
I agree with several of the others. It is really tough to beat Dell on those sub-$500 PCs. Grandma's got time to play WoW though, so make sure it's upgradeable and buy her a copy. :D

As for the 1 guy out of 10 you do (help) build a computer for .. those are the really fun ones anyway, right? Quad core, dual 8800 SLI, RAID 0 monsters and such. If only I got to keep them afterwards.

What?

I'll respond to anything is vaguely english in there.

Why? We know that it is going to be value/budget RAM of sorts. Who cares? Is Grandma going to be overclocking?

ask them if you can upgrade your ram.

Again, why? Is this so that Grandma can get her computer running super-fast for Oblivion?

If you are going to try tell someone they are wrong, you should meet the following conditions first:

1) Make sure to omit frequent uses of lol.
2) Support your ideas with FACTS. You have shown nothing but opinions.
3) Slow down the typing a bit, so that you can form more coherent sentences. So that anyone reading your post doesn't have to struggle to understand it.

I do prefer building my own computers. It is what I have always done, and have built computers for other people as well. But, there is a place for Dells, HPs, Compaqs, etc.

lol lol lol lol lol.
sorry dude it was late, too many beers for me.
you're right. it was nothing but my opinion.
you're right. i need to support my ideas with facts.
you're right. i need to not type with a buzz.
you're right. there is a place for dells and whatnot.
i like using lol. because i am lol a lot.
my post was quite coherent. punctuation not so good.
i usually spit grammatically correct sentences like red-hot fire.
"I'll respond to anything is vaguely english in there."<(?) lol.
uh, looks like maybe you should heed your own advice.
lighten up.
i didnt tell any one they were wrong, i simply voiced my opinion that dell sucks.

Who was pwned?

naga, that one was simply a typo.

Anyways, I'd go with the cheapest Dell you can find, if you're not up to building it (Personally, I'd rather build it.).
