Hello. it is just me over here asking a question I have been wanting to hear for awhile.
What is your favorite computer/parts manufacturer and what is your favorite food and why? (second is optional once again...)

This may become a bit of a recurring theme with me involving food in my posts (especially bacon :woot: )
man, i love food... :liplick:

Brand of computer: Don't have one. Given the choice, I'll take a custom-built (with a mix of different parts manufacturers) any time.

Food: Not a brand, but steak. Doesn't matter so much what cut of steak, this carnivore loves it all.

Terash Cas brand or EVGA

My current favorite computer brand is the Dell I got for free.

My favorite food is whatever I am eating at any given time.

Depends on the components...

CPU: intel
Mobo: ASUS
Graphics Card: MSI
RAM: Corsair and Kingston.
Reader&Writer: LG
HDD: Western Digital
SSD: OCZ
Case: Silverstone, Lian Li and Corsair.
PSU: Corsair
Coolers: Thermalright and Noctua.
Laptops: ASUS

I admit EVGA has some sick extreme high end products when it comes to mobos and graphics cards though :drool:

I think that's mostly it

Food: Rice, rice and rice.

Free is the best kind. :yes: The kind I have now: Home built. You get more bang for your buck.

Favorite food: Jamaican Beef Patties, Man I love those things. haven't ate one in almost 20 years, then a friend of mine from New York walks into work one day and hands me one. :drool:

Computer parts brand: whichever makes the best version of the thing I'm buying that meets my needs and is in my price range. :shrug: In my experience, none of them are perfect.

Food: toss-up between cheese (or something tasty that has cheese on it) and sushi.

Favorite computer: macintosh. Just love it fully and completely since I want to go into studio engineering and the recording arts.

Favorite Food: Hamburgers, Steak, Roast. mmm.... roast...

Porcine charlatan!

My brother-in-law is a tech genius so all my computers are custom built, not of a particular brand.

I was reading somewhere recently that a lot of sound studios were starting to move toward Windows and Linux because Apple is a pain to deal with on the hardware side of things. You know that Apple doesn't make any of the parts inside the computer, right?


I thought the OP was talking about parts manufacturers...did I misunderguessstimate the thread topic?

Well, with two GTX 480 cards you won't have to worry about heating your home in the winter (although AC might be expensive ).

well,let see.
mb: asus
cpu: amd
memory: corsair
psu: corsair
hdd: wd
mouse: logitech
keyboard: logitech
happy enough with my samsung monitor,could be better,and worse,finally showing its age I replace it "soon",eventually.
graphics: currently gigabyte,very happy with them,probably get gigabyte next time as well,dual fans says it all

food swedish meatballs.

Oh, I guess I did, then I suppose it would be... ATI? I've seen that symbol on some of the parts.

I hadn't heard that but it makes perfect sense. The OS X may be great (still I'm used to Windows so I prefer that anyways) but when it comes to hardware Apple is well...limited is an understatemente <_<

When it comes to computers, I go with custom builts, but I've been very satisfied with ASUS mobo's and laptops.

As for food? Give me a pound a bacon and it will be gone before there's an ounce of grease on the plate.

Well, I gotta cook those pop tarts somehow

Usually I stick with something along the line of this:
GPU: XFX or HIS (AMD)
CPU: AMD (though probably making the jump to Intel sometime soon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte
Case: Doesnt matter to me really, usually Rosewill or Antec http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103011&Tpk=Xclio%20Windtunnel
SSD: OCZ
RAM: G Skill
HDD: Western Digital
PSU: Corsair

Those are probably the two brands I dislike the most when it comes to graphics cards Each to his own I suppose

Yeah I had 2 HIS 4890's in my desktop a while back, they were nice. Now, I have a single XFX 6970 in here, amazing, and it came with a do not disturb sign, so thats always nice.

Thing is XFX just sells the base models with their sticker (minus the ocasional Black Editions), something I can't stand since reference cards almost always look ugly, have worse temps and worse performance when compared to a fully custom graphics from the likes of MSI, ASUS or Gigabyte, with their custom coolers, PCBs etc...basically companies who take a reference card and the only thing reference afterwards is the GPU itself. Sure they cost extra but for it's a no brainer when to comes to reference or custom graphics cards

As for HIS although they do indeed make custom products I still dislike their performance numbers and looks. Example, the http://www.infohw.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/HIS-HD6870-IceQ-X-Turbo-X.jpg vs the http://www.gamexeon.com/forum/imagehosting/201102/243734d53c17ea4210.jpg.
