I am in need of a new computer.. mostly due to the fact my laptop is becoming terrible (and not terrible awesome). I am willing to spend about $4000 on it, because I want it to be pimp and I want it to last.
I know people are pretty anti-boutique computers in general, but if I get this for Xmas, my parents are unlikely to buy some parts (I'll be kicking in at least 1/2 the cost)
So what do you recommend I get, SE++?
Also, I guess it's cool to talk about your own awesome computers
(not to be confused with the misleadingly titled thread about terrible PCs)

so jealous
If you want, I can help you spec something out. Just give a newegg list to your parents and say "this."
Unless you went with like multiple SSDs in a RAID or something. The mere thought of it is making me pop a boner.
Actually that's still only available in Japan.
Neville can you just ask for a Newegg gift certificate or something?
Oh god this case...
Edit: It's called an Antec P182 SE. They are like $200 if you can find one.
I could see myself and my computer internals at the same time.
perfection
and another Macbook Pro, but I have to give that one back in a few weeks
fingerprints all up ins
Ugh, P182 SE is a horrible case.
Don't ever buy one.
Every time you touch it you will leave greasy fingerprints all over it. We had one at work and seriously it's not particularly nice even when it's clean. Once you've had it for a day without wiping it, it becomes much worse.
Edit:
Get this-
and that case is so rad.
and built in wireless
and both a touchpad and a mouse nub
$300 out the door
also better quality RAM would help
Yeah, except a few problems:
1 - They are inept with computers in almost every way. New egg will result in my dad going off on how "buying over the internet isn't safe" etc. By that he means he doesn't know what he's doing and his computer has 383909393 jillion virii on it.
2 - I go back east for Xmas and they believe you should open physical gifts... so shipping all the parts there is a pain because then it would have to be shipped back to Seattle.
3 - If any of the parts are wrong, they won't know what to do.
4 - I am intensely lazy.
5 - I have HORRIBLE luck with technology & hardware. You have no idea how many failed drives/etc I have had. At least 9 HDDs in about 8 years, off the top of my head, as well as other various things. I don't drop them; I am incredible careful with my hardware. I just have an aura of "BREAK PLZ" I guess.
people just love to give me macbook pros I dunno what it is
how the fuck did you get another macbook?
yes
me = worst gay. I'm not really a Mac guy. I don't want a Macbook.
Either way I want one.
maybe half of that.
Also some old Alienware laptops that are also nice.
Also 2 old PCs that technically work and a VAIO laptop and a completely broken Compaq laptop and a first-generation iMac and 2 Mac Classics and a Macintosh 2
Just that hip. You walk around without one and it seems like something is missing.
I speak "paranoid computer illiterate consumer"
But then he didn't
True story
really I'm pretty sure butters is right.
Just looking at you and people expect you to have a macbook
