My Computer Expoded - Have $2k budget for new computer

Quote from Wayne Gibbous:

A few years ago, lots of sub-spec counterfeit (China - of course) tantalum caps got into many computers. Dell got hurt badly by this.

Hopefully quality computer manufacturers have gotten most of these out of their systems...

You see some higher-end (supposed) PSUs these days touting "Japanese capacitors".. The issued had to have been significant for some...
 
Quote from denner:

4 8800 gt's in one box? That must be draining a bunch of power. I have a 9800gt, but just one, not a slew of them and even that is recommended at around 450W+.

2 computers. i'm now using an ATI 5750 (1 gb ddr5) and it's super quiet and runs very cool. the trading rig is now used for games
 
whatever you decide, i advise to stay away from Dell. Everything I ever bought from them (compared to other makers) seems to wind up slowing down, regardless of maintenance, cleaning or even reimaging the system.

I've had Dells almost exclusively for the last 10 years.. currently have 5. All running perfectly, without a hitch, fast as ever.... just like when they were new. However, I don't buy from the budget lines.. like Inspiron, Optiplex, Vostro.

The problem you have with Dells most likely... IS YOU!
 
LOL! :D

We have Dell fans, HP fans, Apple fans. Intel fans, AMD fans...

The latest trading computer brand I use is the Bolimomo brand. And I love it! LOL
