I will tell you about the silent computer scam.

Once i bought a silent computer for three times price.

After a year it started crashing

I tested all

Turns out harddisk constantly at 55 Celsius

Recommended is 45 or lower Celsius

And fan was at half speed

So i put fan at top speed

Temperature is now 40 celcius

The computer is no longer silent.

What a scam!

Quote from taclander:

I respectfully disagree with your comments about Dell. I am typing this on a 7 year old Dell computer. I have 1 laptop that is 5 years old, a 1 year old laptop and a 3 month old desktop. I have had issues with support in regards to the laptop and the English language, but it was resolved. I have dealt with many companies and their offshore tech support. Dell is no different in that respect, except I was able to ge them to transfer me to America and my problem was fixed. Others I haven't gottten anywhere and have had the same problen and was stuck resolving it myself.
Dell has overall been good to me. Yes, they have pissed me off when I have an issuse, but they have been one of a few I have been able to contact to get issues resolved.



Well to each his own, Dell seems like it has some decent support, but for the price you pay to get a Dell with support, it seems like you could build your own or get a good custom computer for much less. The custom built computer stores may not have the best support but the ones with a good reputation will provide a good product. In the end, if you have the know how to build your own, I think that is the way to go. There is a ton of videos and information on the web to be able to do it yourself.

I'd be willing to help anyone that is planning on building their own.

If you want quiet, there are vids of guys who remove all fans from the pc (including the PSU) and submerge the mobo/GPU card/PSU in vegetable oil.

Makes for a totally silent pc, but kind of kills the resale/parts value.
