I know, right? You certainly don't have to tell me twice! I used to build my own systems and quite enjoyed it. But I will abide by my sweet parents' wishes and go through a company that provides a warranty and fix-it options. Actually, I've been looking at Puget Systems for the past hour and...

Hello! I am currently in the market for a new gaming PC, and while I understand it's much cheaper and more fulfilling to build one from scratch, because my generous folks are getting this for me as a gift, they prefer that I go through a custom built PC company that provides a warranty. I will...

You know, I poo-pooed it at the get-go, but after thinking it over I think I will opt for a desktop rig. I really like all of the Asus laptops everybody's been recommending as well, but I think you guys are right about gaming + desktop = <3. I always had much more fun on a desktop and it's...
