Ok so my friends current comp was built by his brother and they both ran into problems with random restarts and such.
And he said to me when I get my next computer I am going to get an alienware that way I dont have to worry about anything. I tried to tell him that they pretty much charge double what the parts are worth and you only get a T-shirt in exchange.
His argument was that alienwares are ment for gaming(he only plays DAoC and thats doesnt really require much.) He also said Alienware has to have good customer support and such so if something break he ownt have to worry about that(he might have a pint there.)
I think my best argument would be that he could have a site like monarch make his system and then if he does run into problems he could send it into a shop to get fixed. And in the end the price of having a shop fix it and order it from monarch would still be a lot cheaper than ordering from alienware. Anyone wana help me with my arguement.
An exampe of what I am dealing with was when he had random restarts before doing anything else he ran out and bought a new PSU. And when that didnt fix the problem he got pissed and did nothing. I was like what kinda PSU did you get, he was like "It a 400watt PSU so it has to be really good!" I was like well the wattage doesnt really mean anything. ANd when I looked in his case its a powmax
So anyone got any ideas besides mine to convince him?
