your pc is worth more than my car

What's that at the top? Looks like a straw, to drink the banana juice coolant?

As a DELL consumer for work from PC's to switches.
They have gouged the fuck out of their customers for the past 4 years.
We started settling with Beelink SER5 Max's, can get 4x units for the price of one Dell workstation with no loss in performance.

Aesthetic for juice box.
Would be funny if it worked as a exhaust.

Lol. My PC runs on diesel.

Alienware sales are pretty good

I’d save maybe 150$ with a less aesthetic case and hours of time lost building it is way more than 150$ loss.
5090 alone is like 3k rn since they aren’t selling at msrp.

The one pc i built had problems and had to send parts in for warranty then wait weeks for it to come back etc, pain in the butt

plus i got 15% cash back and extra 5% from my credit card. Cheaper than building it myself tbh and alien can be fully customized/upgraded all components now

I understand the reasoning behind prebuilt, but I'm not paying someone 400+ to build a PC on top of receiving some third party RAM that isn't even clocked correctly or them charging me +65 bucks to flip XMP on in BIOS to give me my RAM speeds I paid for.
Make sure you check stuff like that, ie: You bought 6000mhz DDR5 RAM, but when you check your speeds you're sitting at 2400 default. Expo or XMP depending on AMD or Intel ofc.
One of my biggest pet peeves I see when I get my hands on a prebuilt is RAM speeds. You paid $300 for this RAM and you've been running it on 2400mhz? $25 stick would have been fine for you..


Almost no reason to overclock anything anymore which is cool, we seem to be in the age of undervolting now with the insane power consumption of these gpu/cpu's now.

Interesting. Didn’t know all that! Pry doesn’t affect me much since I just jsp/game but would definitely matter if I still edited videos /high Ram useage stuff

Also you can cut costs on windows, they charge the full price 100% of the time because they are obligated and audited.
You however can find a $20 dollar key instead of paying $140.00.

Just food for thought next time.
