Suppliers
 

Hi,

I am considering either building a desk top killer rig for my home office or buying an Alienware laptop which would be ideal for those numerous business trips. My question is: Where did you buy all the individual parts, one warehouse type location or various websites? Years ago when I built a desk top I used a large Computer Magazine to locate and verify latest parts and best prices, sadly that bible which used to be an inch thick and full of suppliers etc... is no longer found on news stands. Any websites that you purchased from and would recommend? I am hoping to make up my mind on which path shortly.

I bought mostly from Newegg and MicroCenter.

Good luck if you decide to build, you won't look back.

:DL

p.s. for my business travel, I carry a Dell XPS M1530. Heavy, but works fine with the games I play while in the hotel.

Impressive rig!

I notice all the fans on it, how noisy is it?

I had a few on my previous machine and it was unbearable. I used to call it Hoover. :DL

Actually is surprisingly quiet. Big fans mean lower RPMs means less noise. The Dell I had prior to this was much louder.

Just poke around Google and you can find many different sellers. If you want to buy locally use the Yellow Pages then see how many have websites, that or again use Google and put your city in the search.

This is where it pays off to put your country under your Avatar.

It can help us zero in on where to recomend where to shop.

I live in Ca. USA but, I buy from TigerDirect in Florida USA.

I save on sales tax (none) and free shipping if order is big enough.

Can't help you if we don't have some idea where you live.

Something to think about when you ask where to shop.

Good luck on your build. :up:
