387719 2005-09-12 02:46:00 In a previous thread quite a few people were saying they wouldn’t buy computers from DSE, why is that? I am interested in their Scoop 2400 computer. Would that be a bad buy? For the price of $700 for a CPU, or about $950 including a 19” monitor. ssssss (2100)

That is because people often say silly things on forums. "When you've got a computer, why bother thinking?"

I think its a budget computer priced accordingly,Its not something I would buy for myself but it would suit some people, if budget was the main concern and they had realistic expectations of what they were buying.

So....if you don't consider DSE and its army of schoolboy salesmen to be the best option for purchases you lack the ability to think, due to owning a computer?

Just had a look at their website, So they are responsible for millions of peopple going around calling their computer a CPU! Its a computer! The CPU is a chip inside the computer that does most of the work. Its the processor.
Someone rang me the other day asking for a modem to be inserted into her CPU - strange art forms sprang to mind immediately. Do we solder or weld? Or perhaps glue would work better. What do you think?

Someone rang me the other day asking for a modem to be inserted into her CPUIts like the common misconception of calling the tower the harddrive (which I will admit to being guilty of before I knew better).

We get a few of them at work.. 'can you put more RAM into my harddrive?'

Then theres the timeless one I read somewhere; 'the coffeecup holder on my computer is broken' :p

To the original poster.... if you think the computer will suit your needs, go for it. DSE computers (on a whole) will be quite satisfactory for emails, browsing, etc.
If you think you are buying a high-powered games machine (for example) you need to look around and pay quite a bit more
