Ok, so Orange is doing the whole modelling thing a little different. How? They're making a computer that looks like an amp, and has onboard recording, modelling and full featured Windoze 7 as well. http://www.orangeamps.com/features.asp?ID=163
You think they're gonna change the BSOD to Orange?

Edit: Of course this would be cheaper, but I'm thinking even cheaper than with a regular computer.

Amps (and all music gear), in general, become more valuable with age...
Computers lose value with age...
So, unless it's rediculously upgradeable, it'll be all but obsolete in 3ish years and a mediocre computer...
i SERIOUSLY thought this was an april fools joke... i'm still hoping it is...

The only problem is some of the software that comes already installed on certain computers, but that's rarely an issue, at least for me.
I've been putting computers together for some time now, and it's almost always more cost effective, and for me, the big thing, upgradable than buying a dell.

I also just read an article today on the reliability of PCs that supported the exact opposite of your flawed statement. Here's a few gems for you... Quote:
According to its latest survey of subscribers about who makes the most reliable personal computers and backs them the best, PC World magazine gave Dell, eMachines, Gateway, IBM, and Sony its top score, along with the generic "white boxes" made by local independent computer stores. (It didn't receive enough responses to include Apple computers in its ratings.)
Companies making the most reliable notebook computers and supporting them the best, according to PC World readers, were Dell, Gateway, IBM, and Toshiba.
| and this... Quote:
In a survey from PC Magazine, Apple received the best overall scores for reliability and service in the desktop category, followed by self-built machines, Dell, ABS, and machines from local computer stores.
Companies earning the best reliability ratings for notebook PCs from PC Magazine subscribers were Apple and IBM, followed by Dell, Fujitsu, and Toshiba.
Self-built machines received the highest rating in the server category from PC Magazine, with Dell and clones following suit.
| and this... Quote: |
According to the most recent survey of Consumer Reports magazine readers, Apple ranked best for reliability for desktop computers, followed in order by Dell, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard.
| and this... Quote: |
Another recent survey, this one sponsored by the University of Michigan and part of the quarterly American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), also indicated that Apple computer users were more satisfied than those using other computer brands, with Dell a close second.
| So in case you guys didn't catch the drift of these 4 independent studies, apparently Dell is complete trash. |

I've had Dells for years, and have had to replace motherboards in 75% of them. I moved to Vaio's and haven't had a single issue. For me, Dells are crap. My business use them because were are partnered and get a 60% discount, and we again have nothing but problems. My own experiences... |
