My little brother got a new desktop and I'm pissed about it. I'm not jealous or anything but I'm pissed at the manufacture and have once again been reminded while I'll never buy a pre built system again. He spent $1,000+ on getting a new HP saying that manufactured systems cost less than builds. There is a reason for that though, it's because they give you the bare minimum hardware required to run the customers desired specs. That 3TB HD he was boasting about, you guessed it, they gave him a WD Green drive! He doesn't seem to care about using what was meant to be a storage/backup drive as his startup disk but I know I sure do! Then there's his PSU. He bought the system intending to install GTX 460 after he got it. When I went to install it for him I saw exactly what I expected, the bare minimum. There was only one, six pin which was connected to the card that we were replacing, but we needed two. There were also no four pin HD connectors anywhere in sight. Also the PSU met the minimum wattage exactly meaning not only lost PSU efficiency (there was no 80+ cert sticker on it any way) but increased blowout risk and heat issues. Not to mention the fact that PSUs lose output ability over time. So he's gona have to buy an after market PSU for it. Besides, I'd trust quality after market parts more than the cheap parts PC manufactures use any day. Also it seems his CPU is under powered. He's got an 3.6 GHz I7, but I don't know the core type though. Any way there is only one four pin connector on the board instead of two. Now we all know if we want the most out of our CPUs we should allow it access to more power than it needs with a good PSU and two four pins. In his case HP gave him the bare minimum so he has no chance of pushing its limits. And thats why I'm pissed, he paid tons of money only to get skimped off in small but critical areas.
