‘Afraid not any that I know of.

I suppose I DO could help you with brands however.

I had a list somewhere but I lost it =(.

Mine’s a 300W Mercury – no problems at all, been running for 5 years now.

Comp specs :

2.4 GHZ Intel P4 Codename Northwood
1024 MB RAM (PC 3200 – 2x 512)
nVidia GeForce 5500 FX
Seagate 3400 40GB
4.1 Creative Speakers
Sound Blaster Audigy 2

Not quite the best but certainly better then 90% of CPUs in all of Bahrain =P.

I’m saving for a monster machine in 2007 right now.

Head to Saudi and get a quality power supply from there, eh?

This is why you should never buy hardware straight inside Bahrain.

I got lucky however, I got my pre-built from Nooh Infotech and it never faced problems even with my additions of extra RAM and a G5500.

The only downside is it’s 40 GB HDD which has forced me to keep everything extremely organized but even then – I have no breathing room lol.

I bought an extra HDD in Bahrain and after a month it somehow got Effed.

Same with my 2nd HDD.

Bah for crappy hardware.

On a sidenote – Macs SUCK for gaming.

3 power supplies have been changed, the first they charged me BD10 for, the remaining two I got another shop to do, at BD2.5 each for the same product.

the computer is still shutting down now and again. I think the motherboard is buggered.

I removed the ATI card and replaced it with an Nvidia 5500 because I thought the ATI was pulling far too much juice, not the case, the computer is still misbehaving even with the Nvidia in there.

I have spent hours trying to fix the bloody thing, and taken it back and fore to the shop, the amount of money that I have lost physically and time-spent would have been better spent buying Arif a G5 or an HP xW8200 with the best graphics.

If he comes and complains to me again that it doesn’t work, I’m going to throw the bloody thing in the pool, from the upstairs window and shoot a video while having that particular pleasure.

Bastards.

I told them what I wanted to use it for from the start, I told them the peripherals I wanted in it, and they assured me that all would be okay and compatible.

My big, bloated, festering, toe.

Don’t deal with Mars Crapology ever again!

Bastards.

Well, good luck finding time with your son

That’s exactly why I resisted for so long.

The agreement with him is that once school starts, he will do most of his school work at the breakfast table, away from his computer. I’m going to pin him to that, because if I find that he has be tardy, and believe me, his school will let us know especially in their cyclical parent/teacher meetings, he’s toast and so is his computer!
