How much did your computer cost when you first purchased it?

I haven't had any issues with my Alienware that were deal breaking, the one problem I did have with it, I managed to fix by simply re-installing Windows. Other than that, it's been pretty solid. I'd buy another Alienware again. However, I went through THREE MSI gaming laptops in the span of a year 1/2, so I would definitely stay away from that brand in the future.

My friend has a MSI notebook since 2018 and he says he didnt have any issue at all, i wouldn't buy it either, i'd rather get an ASUS TUF instead.

My last MSI laptop lasted a week, it was pretty much DOA out of the box, noticed an issue right on first boot up but thought a few windows updates would fix it, as i had a freezing issue on my very first MSI laptop but after a windows update that went away, so I thought this would be the same, NOPE!

but yeah, Asus is good. I had 2, one of which wasn't really 'broke' but i didn't find the fix for the issue until after I got rid of it......my first Asus, which was the first gaming laptop I ever purchased, still works today.

I'm not really sure since the computer my hubby and I have is not really a pre-built computer. Instead, it is a computer my hubby built himself and I don't remember how much he spent on the different parts that make up the computer.

I spent a thousand dollars on my first laptop. It had windows XP. It lasted me 3 years. It got hit by lightning and after that everything went bad on it. I tried having it fixed. Had parts replaced on it. Still....it died.

Yeah. I really destroyed that computer.I was young and had no idea how to take care of it. After all I was going on the web without an antivirus or firewall. I was using Limewire and downloading tons of music that had trojans and other malware. Of course I wondered why it crashed all of the time. Now I know why lol.

Allot of people here go with Laptops more than desktops. Gaming website means people should have gaming desktops related

Now with the new 3000 series cards are coming, anyone going to be doing upgrades?

It's the microATX Edoras motherboard. I had to look it up. The entire rig is straight out the box except for my RAM upgrade.
