229148	2004-04-14 00:01:00	hi guys, im not in the market anymore but, have you seen todays warehouse flyer? its a lot better than their previous offer and not a lot more expensive. just thought some people may be interested. dave.	_david_ (3309)
229149	2004-04-14 00:47:00	I had a quick look at it and saw it had a Geforce FX GO card in it! WHY!!!!??? Why would a desktop computer have a laptop graphics card in it. Seeing as a GO card would be designed with limitations to a laptop, such as limited power consumption. This would severely effect serious gamers wouldn't it? And they are flaunting it as a gamers computer... In my eyes this is a dirty trick to keep prices down but still stoopifying the newbies out there..... Shame on you dell....	hamstar (4)
229150	2004-04-14 00:51:00	Also drivers don't come with the system. I don't think the Warehouse supplies drivers for any of their systems.	aNtzy (4070)
229151	2004-04-14 00:56:00	Heres the link to the pdf if anyone hasn't got the flyer. www.thewarehouse.co.nz The only other think thats **** on this computer is the RAM... 256MB? Comon Dell, you know better than that! At least DDR-333 is a step up. Oh and while we're on the topic of storebought computer. I opened up a PC company computer yesterday.... the fan on the heatsink was right up against the side of the psu... No wonder they went bust....	hamstar (4)
229152	2004-04-14 02:03:00	and if you were a serious gamer do you really think they would go to warehouse for there Comp??? its ok for the little newbie at home user no matter what the details i guess. im picking it doesnt have a floppy disk? i try not to use Adobe as Mozilla throws a wobbly, so havent seen all the specs. just did a quick read, and havent got a flyer. at some of those specs it may even out do my lemon.......hmmmmm maybe i should get one. :p LOL beetle	beetle (243)
229153	2004-04-14 02:31:00	lol i've known about them for a few days now, but it was under great secrecy apparently cos they don't want other companies to know (i work there that is) They don't look too bad, the only reason i'd even consider getting one is for the 15% discount but still, they are dell.... The even better thing is that jewellery dept. are in charge of all the computers and all the girls have no idea at all, so guess who always has to deal with stupid customer enquires... :) - David	DangerousDave (697)
229154	2004-04-14 03:17:00	If as advertised they have used a GO chip then the $999 deal is a better buy,both computers are useful for outloook express/internet explorer and thats about it. People who buy computers from the warehouse deserve what they get,actually people who buy anything from the warehouse deserve what they get,i went into one the other day,packed with people,all scrambling to get there hands on piles and piles and piles of utter junk barely worthy of having a price tag.	metla (154)

Both the deals are total rubbish. Buy custom building your own PC you could easily fit a G-Force FX5700 in a $1400 PC.	fus1_n (3818)
229156	2004-04-14 04:02:00	Exactly, any Geeky type person wouldnt touch them with a barge pole, but any home user, who either has nothing or something out of the ark would find one of these fine, and may even never use it to full potential. we are not all the same, our needs are different, and also some pockets of $$$ and knowledge are not deep or endless. beetle	beetle (243)
229157	2004-04-14 04:18:00	I find it a sign of something, I dont know what, the words elude me, sadness?? that all people (or very many anyway judging by PressF1) use their computers for is to play dubious games , and judge a computers merits by how well it can play games. Is there nothing else in life, or are people living inside a "Matrix" ?:|	Terry Porritt (14)
