Mr. Feesh said:ok dude you are realy starting to piss everyone off. i agree i can bulid a computer for less then a retail, built one but there is a reason that dell charges a bit more.
1.) they need to make a profit....Duh!
2.)its built so you dont need to spend the time and labor to build it, or insall the os.
3.)you get a warrenty(SP?)
4.) you know that it and all of its parts will work togeather, no cooling issues etc.
5.)they, i think but im not sure, will have an expert do upgrades for you less the if you went into bestbuy or something.
and 6.) most times you get free software for a year or so.
so he probly saved himself some hassels buying that dell................so SHUT THE HELL UP!
ok....
4.) you know that it and all of its parts will work togeather, no cooling issues etc.
*** wrong becuase they put the crappiest heat sinks, and the worst fans on thier processors! I tried to feel the air coming out of the fan but I couldnt! and I often have blue screens and hardware errors on them! hell dells are 90 percent of the pcs I ever fix!
5.)they, i think but im not sure, will have an expert do upgrades for you less the if you went into bestbuy or something.
****wrong again, they will cahnge up to 200 dollars for ram instertion out of warranty, they willl charge within warranty, 100, and they will NOT give you the cd once they have upgraded OS, They no longer give you any windows xp cd, you are forced to use thier restore disks and partitions. And thier experts come to the job with no tools. no knowledge of your system, or anything critical, hell they come not knowing your first name! They also will be clumsy on the job, often spilling stuff, losing scres everywhere, asking for help with stuff they should know... the list goes on!
6.) most times you get free software for a year or so.
***** they give you trials of software that has a keycode on them that will expire within 10 days of system purchase, that you must install and activate ehrn you first get your system or you cannot use that software.
put it simple, overhyped peice of crap systems that even granny thinks they are crap.
may I also add that dells testing is only to test basic functions only. They also let them sit in hot "burn racks" (wheree they install OS) for 3 hours and they overheat for 1 hour!
If anyone here thinks I am lying I worked at dell for 2 months and I built the pcs there. I actually put good quality in my builds, but the mexcian chick besides me kept dropping hard drives and ram, cpus, etc and then put them back into the pc with no thought as to they are damaged! Most of the people on the buld floor do this! Nothing gets done about it, and I told on her and my supervisor told me to "shut my f-ing mouth and worry bout your own damn business" !!!!(she really cussed too) I have every right to report problems and people damamging equipment! they aften will hire people that have never looked inside a computer in thier whole life!!! and often these people screw up every frekin system they built but they keep them there and tell them how good of a job they are doing, but I on teh other hand have never made a build mistake, and they fire me! just because they have a chip on thier sholders.
and they have bad working conditions, they make it a crime to sit down! they embarras people all the time, the list can go on forever!
