How much did you pay for your computer?

[jd-inflames]

Hah, you get everything for free

dP, I was really only kidding, we normally don't kill people unless it's extreme, but thanks for taking me seriously

 

[Korittke]

And trust me i learnt my DAMN lesson when to buy a pc!!!

How the hell do you overclock a processer?

LOL....you need a good cooling system on it(it could be air/liquid/vapor.....)....You make the Processor work faster...but when something works faster it will produce more heat...hence you will need a better cooling system...

I built my comp, and me and my friend estimate it to be at around a legit $400 least and $550 most.

AMD Athlon-XP 3200+ (2.2 gHz, 400FSB) - $200
Biostar Motherboard nVidia nForce2 M7NCD Pro - $80
nVidia GeForce 2 MX400 - $40
Micron Tech DDR-SDRAM PC2700 - 256MB - $25
Samsung DDR-SDRAM PC2700 - 256MB - $25 (I know i need PC3200 memory for my Athlon-XP 3200+, but only if i have the money)
Mitsumi CD-RW - $40
Toshiba DVD Drive - $40
350W PSU - $40
Mid-Tower Gaming case with lights - $30

Yet it can still play Call of Duty at med-settings.

There was another one where they overclocked a P4 3.2 Etreme Edition to over 5 gHz! http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20031230/index.html
-190 degrees celsius is the coldest an object can get ever (learned that in physics class).

I know you're talking to me because i have been bashing on your greatest hero (Alienware). Well, i wasn't really bashing on it, just made a comment about how alienware was too expensive for a middle-class person to afford. I have built many computers for many people i know, granted i may not know as much but i do know enough to build comps for people. I am usually online just to learn more about computers and not to flame people like it seems to you. I may go against a certain post but sometimes i back up my post, just ask me. I would appreciate it more if you show me how Alienware integrated their comps as one, etc. with a link leading to it, etc.
