<p>As mentioned before, if you are getting a low end computer just for email/browsing/chatting then buying an ultra cheap dell is acceptable. If you are wanting a performance machine for gaming, audio/video work, graphics work etc. then you should consider building it.</p>
<p>Using newegg.com, I built my own computer over 6 years ago and I am still using it as my desktop pc today. I bought all high end parts and I only recently realized I need to consider building a new one.</p>
<p>what say you?</p>
<p>While I’d like to build, time is getting short…</p>
<p>Dell v. Lenovo? RPI recomends Lenovo…I’ve had Dells before…</p>

Some of those cracks have malware with them, so just keep that in mind.</p>
<p>As for the original discussion, I prefer to build my own system because I like to know exactly what is in it. I also don’t like the bloatware that comes with Dell, HP, etc. It is cheaper if you already have the peripherals and you are just working under the hood. The O/S is often the most expensive part of the build, but you can usually find cheap copies if you shop around.</p>
<p>Has anyone tried to build their own laptop? Is it possible?</p>
<p>Then go with what your school recommends. In fact look to see if they have some sort of deal with Lenovo for warranty service. In most cases they do, and you will be able to take your laptop into your school’s walk-in tech center (I’m assuming they have one) for a quick free repair.</p>

That shouldn’t be an issue. You generate your own key with the keygen, rather than using a provided one.</p>

Nah, it’s all good. There are almost 100 comments on the torrent site I got it from, and no one’s reported any malware issues. However, it isn’t a scene release, so you’re right not to fully trust it. I’m guessing that a scene group will pre an activator once the OEM-SLP keys become available in October.</p>
