So I finally decided I'd give the Dell a rest before it sees the end of its days in a few weeks when I can get to the nearest pasture with a gallon of gasoline and some matches.
My next big thing is to get my hands on a Mac Pro....however, I do not want a brand new one. I don't believe in spending that much money on a laptop. I've seen them all, rebuilt them, broken them, and in a few weeks my first experimentation in frying one. I am looking at getting something refurbed. A friend of mine has just finished refurbing one, and is asking $1800 for it. I think that's gone overboard. Then again I'm not a Mac person.
What is a reasonable price for a Mac Pro refurb? |

| New ones with a student discount start at $1899 + tax, so you decide if that is a good deal or not. |

Desperate measures... I don't blame you in a way... However, its not the dell... It is truly Vista that is the s.
Since buying my m1530 i have been having audio problems. The DPC latency goes through the roof when i am surfing the internet at the same time listening to tunes and even worse, the dpc shoots up when i am spinning on my tech12's with traktor scratch timecode system. IE. the audio stops. People on forums thought it was a hardware issue (mobo) so i got to the mobo replaced, however, this didn't solve the problem.
Then one day i said F it and i formatted my computer and installed XP professional on it and it has been crisp ever since, not one problem with the audio.
I don't know what problems your having but if you have vista, it wouldn't hurt if you formatted it and go back to xp.
I hope this makes sense |

| You can buy refurbished MBP's from the Apple store for $1300 bucks. Go to Apple.com, search for refurbished mac. Store will come up. There are a bunch. |

| or repair it. because when you think about it, the same thing happened to those refurbished macbooks before you're going to be buying one. |

why buy refurbish for that much when you can buy previous gen, new for cheaper that.

check that out.
according to giz, the difference between these and the new ones aren't that drastic, and for that price. it is a good deal. |
