James_K 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2005 I'm having trouble deciding I want to build a nice small barebone PC using the Fragbox case by Falcon although I cant get that here so I've decided to go with Shuttel but my main problem is that I'm debating on rather spending all this money to build the ultimate heater for the same price I could get a DECENT laptop which includes a screen and does not HAVE to have a powersupply untill it runs out of batt so what would you choose Kick *bottom* barebone or OK decent laptop, which includes a monitor and battery life? I'm open to new suggestions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to do alot of online gaming ..but it doesnt appeal to me any more. if you are a busy mobile student/worker and you wana surf web ..watch movies play music etc you may just wana buy a laptop.if you are a heavy internet user and do alot of downloading ..p2p sharing you would need a barebone box. but you could always install linux on a screenless mouseless and keyboard less system and remotly login ot it ..to to your tasks ..like add things to download queueif all u wana do is online game then u need a full fledged box..with good screen , mouse kb and graphics card..you may wana skip the acceries like wireless and DVD writer.so what do you want to do ..or plan to do with your PC.i have a pc and a laptop..i dont use my laptop alot ..but thats because i mostly stay in my dorm room.
