WTB any burning laser

[zdarkazn]

they are about a year old, going to upgrade to GTX580 3gb classifieds asap, and probably gonna get a i7 2600k, up from a 1090T with a EVGA 1155 FTW classified board

A year old and already almost dying? They should last longer than my laptops.. and my laptops are still going well after 1.5 years.

^^^There is a lot more parity now, but still I disagree.

Laptops absolutely can't touch desktops when to comes to raw power... just not physically possible.

What i7 did you get for $310?

740qm

Well... my now year old (year since I got it old) cpu still holds out ok;

i7 950

Broken link?

Broken link?

I updated it

Btw, that's vs the processors maxkillz mentioned.

How much was the whole desktop altogether? Good graphics too i assume?

 

[InfinitusEquitas]

Hmm... don't know... need to price it out in current config...

Case and psu 160
CPU 230
GPU 160
Mobo 140
Cooler 45
HD's 210
Two extra fans 20
Sound card 90
Ram 210
DVD writer 20

$1285.

Comparable prebuilt system would have been around 2K at the time.

Ram went down in price A LOT, so did cpu, video card, sound card.

 

[zdarkazn]

Yeaa..see. $1265. For $900, my friend got a Sager laptop with i7-2720qm and a gpu with 2gb VRAM..i forgot which one it was but it was a class 1 . Super cheap..

My computer has 3.8TB of storage, 12gigs of ram, and my cpu will run circles around that laptop....

You're trying to compare apples and watermelons... the comparison just doesn't work.

I can take out half the ram, sound card, three hard drives, put in stock cooler, and remove extra fans... that would bring the price down to $875... and it would STILL run circles around the laptop in every regard.

Tell you what... show me a laptop with a 27" screen and I'll concede to the superiority of laptops in computing

Of course with a large screen it's not truly a laptop anymore...

I forgot the model..i remember it was from XoticPc. He got a bunch of discounts somehow. All i know is that he also fixes a lot of electronic things, so perhaps he got discounts by fixing things for them or something..idk. Lucky him, but im happy with mine .

Not after you factor in at least $40 for decent goggles...

About to post a FS thread for a 150mW greenie... it has very good beam specs so will do stuff like light a match or pop a balloon easily.

Price will be $100+Shipping.
