*Bob* Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'm currently in the process of making my own breakfast. The main reason for me making my own breakfast is so that I can tick all the boxes for my requirements. For example, the bowl must be round, the milk must be quite cold and not 'on the turn' - and the spoon must be made from high quality metal.Kelloggs, Nestl? and Quaker are just some of the higher-end companies producing cereals for breakfast.

Jeremy Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I thought you liked square bowls, bob. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20031-buying-a-new-pc/page/4/#findComment-491752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bob* Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Jeremy, square bowls come with an added premium on top and for me, lost their coolness quite some time ago and now appeal to the don't know any better crowd.

I, on the other hand, source my breakfast components individually. in doing so, I can pick out exactly what type of californian-flamed raisins, hazelnuts, jumbo oats, dried banana and so on that I want.(PS Otta, hope you find something that suits, I'm in the same position as you and my colleagues suggested the ipad but I will just go to John Lewis as that's where I got my laptop from before and it was fine until it got to 4 years old. The staff there are really helpful. I will probably not be brave enough to try a mac but will have a look anyway).

Jeremy Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Cassius, just make sure you don't try anything as absurd as actually going into a shop. Shops are for losers who don't know any better.

I can't stand sandals. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.I love my trainers though but that is another subject. B)John Lewis is okay and their stainless steel pots are still going strong in my kitchen after 16 years. If my memory serves me right, John Lewis have a very limited range of computer equipment and seems to have a much wider range of Dell laptops. Not so long ago their TV sales staff didn't know the difference between TN, IPS & PVA panels. Shocking really as I considered this an important but basic piece of information when weighing up a tv purchase. @Jeremy, interesting pictures though the designs are not to my taste. PC cases have moved on and comes in different shapes and sizes. The Lian Li case, second from bottom, is part of their special design where each year they would do something different. In one year a case had a spider design. The Thermaltake case featured in the second picture has hot-swappable drive bays.Personally, I like my cases to be made out of metal rather than plastic with an understated design. Sorry Jeremy but those pictures doesn't represent my tastes. Maybe yours?@Katie. Sometimes sourcing individul products usually turns out to be the cheaper and superior option since you're bypassing the costly marketing nonsense.

I was only having a laugh at the amusing breakfast analogy. Its easier for some of us to source individual components for muesli than it would be to piece together a computer. Well, one that worked anyway. You know, with internet, email and all that jazz.

Undisputedtruth Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 @Katie, I was just slightly correcting your analogy to include the cost aspect. Anyway, building a PC isn't difficult at all as long as you have good analytical skills to choose the components and able to follow instructions. Any reasonably intelligent person should be able to build a PC from instructions.

UDT was listening to bouncy music, eating a bowl of KTnumbers' bespoke cereal "flouncy", beating all comers to the best speakers in a trouncy fashion and seizing on them in a pouncy manner so it was obviously - Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!!!

Undisputedtruth Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Absolutely maxxi, I'm always having fun even when others are trying to insult me. To be honest, I tend to take the view that their insults says more about them than me. Anyway, if they can't get a simple purchase of a PC right then what else can they get right.
