Asus is good.
Why do people still buy prebuilt desktop PCs nowadays.
>.>
There's no value in it...
Here's a simple comparison.
Acer Aspire G Series (i5) - S$1,899
- i5 2500
- mATX motherboard (ECS H61)
- 8GB DDR3-1333
- NVIDIA GT520
- 400W FSP PSU (Non-80PLUS)
- 1.5TB Seagate HDD
- 24x DVD-RW
- 23" TN-LED Acer Display
- Keyboard and Mouse
But for much less, around S$1,600 I can offer you more balance for
gaming:
- i5 2400
- mATX motherboard (ASRock Z68)
- 8GB DDR3-1333
- MSI R6850 Cyclone (This thing blows the GT520 right out the
water...)
- 400W FSP Aurum Series PSU (80PLUS Gold; which means 90+% energy
efficient)
- 2TB Hitachi Deskstar HDD
- 24x DVD-RW
- 23" Dell U2312HM eIPS LED Display
- Logitech USB Keyboard and mouse (or for ~$150 more, a Rosewill
RK9000 Mech and a CM Storm SPAWN Mouse)
So why do people still buy from big-box companies?
Especially when the desktop warranty is something appalling like
just 1 year?
I offer a 1 year warranty to my customers when I build, and when
that's over the individual parts have warranty terms lasting for up
to 5 years.
Not to forget that I configure all my systems with 'overkill
cooling'. Which means you get a large, 3-pipe heatsink with server
fans on it and around the casing. And yet it can be dead silent.
You don't, or rather, will never see this from a brand-name
PC.
I'm not advertising, I'm just trying to make people see the light
in the DIY PC market.
Not everyone in Sim Lim is a scammer, and not every DIY PC is a
piece of crap with a shit power supply that explodes.
If you find the right people, you'll get a good deal for your
money.
Hey dude. I assume from your last few sentences that you work at
SLS right? I would like to get some spare parts if you carry em. At
least i know you can be trusted.
Mind letting me know the name of the shop?
