Another new system
Permalink  

Havent been on for a while cause my PC has died. I've tried fixing it and had some of my IT mates have a look at it and they stumped too.
 Anyway sod it, I'm getting a new system!

Not building myself this time, no time - I need an out of the box, up and running purchase.
Alienware looks great but I beleive are overpriced.
Anyone got any suggestions? Lookin g to spend 1k to 1.5k.

Cheers

my choice between the 2 would be the i-Riss Pro (PC-1383)

the 2nd one has a tat faster processor and a 2nd videocard for 500 more thats not worth the difference imo
You wont notice the difference in the processor. And for 200-300 euros you can always buy a 2nd videocard if you want to. (Make sure you get the same brand and typenumber though!!)

Plus in the 1st machine you get more Memory a bigger HD and a bluray reader

Both cases have good build quality so no difference there Although the lian li might be more silent since its a less open case.
Powersupplies in both are just fine, and will handle most dual, and triple card setups
