    So, tell me how to build my own laptop. http://www.abspc.com/diy/notebookdiy.asp

  2. Re:There are many other reasons to switch from del by hng_rval · · Score: 3, Funny · on Dell Still Intel Only

    I was agreeing with you until I saw I do like dell workstations and home PCs and laptops

    Dell laptops are the worst brand of laptops you can buy. They break constantly. I go to school with 200 people who own a Dell laptop. Without fail, everyone I know with a Dell laptop has had very big problems.

    If you're not buying a Mac, you're much better off with an IBM or Panasonic or a lesser-known brand

  3. ABS Mayhem notebooks by Tumbleweed · · Score: 2, Informative · on High Performance Gaming Laptops On A Budget?

    Mayhem. Nice stuff outfitted with ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 or 9700s. Your choice of Intel Pentium 4, Pentium M, or Athlon64, in order of least-to-most expensive. I'd go with the Pentium M version, based on your budget. The Athlon64 machine is $2100 with only 512Meg of RAM, whereas the Pentium M model is $1900 with 1Gig of RAM. That would also leave you enough money to upgrade to the 7200rpm HD.

  4. Laptop Choices by Donjo · · Score: 1 · on High Performance Gaming Laptops On A Budget?

    I am shopping for a sub 2000 dollar laptop myself and the ABS Mayhem 2 looked like a winner. It is pretty light and sports nice hardware, however I haven't really seen any reviews for it so I don't know if they are supposed to be any good. http://www.abspc.com is the site.

  5. ABS G1 Gamer's Notebook on Tom's Hardware Guide by Drog · · Score: 1 · on NYT: The New Breed of Gaming Laptops Get Serious

    I'm in the market for a gaming notebook, so I've done some research. I think the best bet may be the the ABS G1 Gamer's Notebook, which Tom's Hardware Guide reviewed last week. A WAY better price than, say, the top-of-the-line Voodoo PC ENVY m:860. It may not have the ATI 9700, but the 9600 is still pretty good.

  6. Re:They missed the green one! by abischof · · Score: 1 · on "Budget" Chips go Head-to-Head

    ABS has plenty of AMD-based PCs. And, they're very highly rated at ResellerRatings as well (9.13/10, Platinum+, Platinum, Gold). If I weren't going to build my own PC, I'd probably go with these guys.

  7. New System for the 9700 by pcs305 · · Score: 1 · on The Fastest Video Card You Can Buy
    I like the 9700. But my current system is too old for the 9700 AIW. I don't have the patience to build a system myself. I've looked at Falcon NW - Way too much $$. Same with AlienWare too expensive.

    I like what I see on the ABS pc website.

    Any recommendations from /. on where to buy a nice new system with some lights and stuff will be appreciated. (My old system is a white box, and my workhorse laptop is black. I would like some colour this time around.)

  8. Re:Distributors? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Review of the New Shuttle XPC Chassis
    Go to ABS PC they sell a couple of models pre-built.

    I built an SS40G system a few months ago and it ended up costing me more than I could have bought it already put together from abspc.com. :(

    At the time though they didn't sell any XPC systems.
