[Inspiron]

Let's see how many Trap17 users own which brands of computers...
Be it notebook or desktop...
Customised or Other brands, you may like to state them here...

[GM-University]

Well, I put "Others" because really I have several, first of all I have a Dell Inspiron XPS, then there is my crappy, crappy, really crappy Packard Bell that I have turned into a hardrive for the Dell Laptop stated above, and then I also own another PC I am custom building (it's still in the works, it has a unique processor too!) and that has an IBM that became out-dated about four years ago as a harddrive too!
So in conclusion I have two good PC's a Dell, and a Custom Built one, and they each have their very own out-dated or very slow PC as a harddrive.

[Dayzed]

I have a custom built computer- only because I couldn't find a computer that would fit my needs. I needed alot of RAM, a good processor, and everything else ment jack. When I found a computer I though would be good for me, it had a 200GB hard drive and cost $1500... I built one to fit my tastes, for $750.

i have a sinking HP.. Man its so slow.. next time im buying all the things i need and fixing one up the way i like it. cuz i've had two comps and they both sucked!

[Unregistered 017]

I go the customized way. It's cheaper and I can get what I want without having to worry about a company installing software I don't want and putting in cheaper parts without me knowing.

<3 AMD 64.

[Odyssey]

My current computer that I own is an IBM ThinkPad, which has been very reliable, but I plan to upgrade to a desktop asap. I find that the hard drive in laptops are very slow.

I will probably build my own customized computer with hopefully top of the line equipment

Only sad thing is that computers become obsolete after a year, so you have to constantly upgrade it so you stay current.

[c3nar1us]
