  12. TL down.

    in Street

    Posted

    Was on the way back from the beach and hit construction. A New Acura TL comes flying past me on the merge and gets in front of me. After 15 minutes of 1 lane put put traffic it finally let's up into two lanes. I cruise past him and he just chills back. Catch a light and hes behind. Light turns green and he gets over and flies past. Catch another light and I get over because a car was in his lane (three lanes now). He takes the challenge and gets next to me. Turns green and he spins a tiny bit enough to make a squeek. I floor it. GONE. By the time I was out of first he was 2 cars back. I kept going up to pinning the needle at 120. He was buses behind but was still trying to keep up maxing the car out. Was funny.

     

    I get some kind of action every weekend. Bout to just get one of those cameras that stick to the truck.

     

    Also saw a corvette zr1 on saturday night. All I can say is OMFG it sounded sooo nasty (in a goog way).

    I run 5% over factory 20% on back Windows and 5% on the two front windows. 40% on my whole windshield. I have been wanting to go darker especially on the windshield. I can see at night just fine. Our roads are well lit but backing up and parking I do have to roll down my windows. I have been hassled twice in 6 years. Once for the windshield and once for the front two. Looks great from outside during the day not being able to see in and I am able to take my sunglasses of once in the truck. Can just about stare at the sun LOL. In the back you definitely can look right at the sun. Not that anyone would want to.

    Looked on Dell's site. They dont ahve much to chose from but they actually have some great pricing. http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=dxcwps1&c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&model_id=xps-8500

     

    New XPS 8500 looks great for the price point.

    Core I5

    1TB 7200rpm HD

    8GB ddr3 @1600

    1GB ddr5 7570 graphics card

    750.00$$

     

    or same thing with monitor for 800$$

     

    Everything seems awesome except for the graphics card. Unless you are a hardcore gamer that card should suit you fine though.

    Budget is around $1000. We bought the one we have now from dell directly which is how we prefer instead of Best Buy or some place like that. Just trying to find out if one brand is way better than another or if one is particullarly bad. Also what kind of processor? I assume there are many different ones. How big of a hard drive? How much memory? I have a 16mb camera that will also do HD videos that I may want to edit and most of my pictures will be in raw format. Thanks for all the knowledge so far.

     

    Either a Core I5 or I7 is great like the above poster said or an AMD. In your case the Intel I5 or I7 would be better for video rendering and what not. A 1 Terabyte hard drive should do you fine, if you order from Dell then im sure you can upgrade. Solid State drive would also be very good as it has no mechanical parts and read and writes extremly fast (I only run my OS and 1 game on mine). Anything over 4-8 GB DDR3 is overkill in my book. I run a mean system and havent maxed my 4GB. If you do want to go more then go up to 6-8GB...anymore is just money in a garbage can (Make sure the machine can support more if you wanted to add.)

    I understand you were voicing your opinion. And Apple are great computers. Do they support the software you are trying to use OP? Also is it in your price range? An alienware computer is way way overpriced but I guess so is Apple. Dell makes good computers but is still on the higher price point for what you would receive. Lenovo is fine. You can get any computer that has whatever name. As long as that brand uses good internals then you can't go wrong. This is why I am saying no Dell (well Dell is not to bad anymore) , no alienware, no Apple. You are just paying for the name on the front of your computer. Most of them are using the same stuff a cheaper off brand would.

    The only thing HP is good for is printers. I built my own. If you can turn a screw and plug something in then you can build your own. The price is better for what you get. Bought all my parts off newegg for around 1100$. I got Asus Crosshair Formula IV mobo, 4gb DDR3 Gskill flare ram, AMD Phenom II X6, 6970 graphics card, coolermaster hafx case, antec 750w power supply, Western Digital black 1tb hard drive, ocz ~128gb solid state drive, Asus 19 inch monitor, Logitech mouse and keyboard, and a BluRay burner. Overclocked running 4ghz. Shit is legit and I used to play world of warcraft, starcraft, modern warfare, ect. Sometime 2 at a time.

     

    Now I understand you don't need something like that but just goes to show. And its a fun little project for one evening. If I was going to buy a prebuilt PC or didn't want to build it myself I would goto CompUSA and they are in with tigerdirect.com and will build you a computer to spec of your choice.

    This thread and the whole situation is nothing but fail

     

    I think we can all agree with that. LOL. I thought it was funny. Then it just got stupid and some of the remarks from both sides were just far out and ignorant.
