Re: Weekly Best Buy Thread
Truth be told, i think some people like the "what should i buy with my £5 pocket money" questions.
Re: Weekly Best Buy Thread
It's been tried a few times and always goes the same way unless the person creating the thread is dedicated enough to keep it updated.
Even I have kept myself clear of such a thread as it gets a little dull. I prefer the question threads so we can just tailor a build to a specific person and their budget :)
If it was a weekly HEXUS maintained feature though, and we simply contributed our thoughts.. that would be something very different.
Re: Weekly Best Buy Thread
I suggested this last year, and many others before me, i reckon if a few of us got together and organized it, maybe a proper hexus page, with a nice layout would make it a success, more recognition for hexus too
Re: Weekly Best Buy Thread
Sounds like a good idea chaps, I'll support this :)
Re: Weekly Best Buy Thread
Good one for the Bargains section imo. :)
Sound idea.
Re: Weekly Best Buy Thread
As someone who has just been blessed with the wisdom of hexus, I would say it was a good idea, but I think that perhaps people would still start question threads as they would want specially tailored systems to spend their money on. Plus it feels alot nicer having personal suggestions :)
Re: Weekly Best Buy Thread
Perhaps then we'll have to see if the guys at Hexus would do one and like Mike said we contribute out thoughts.
Re: Weekly Best Buy Thread
But most people don't say "I want to buy any random computer related object for £x", so what's the point?
Re: Weekly Best Buy Thread
I think you have to change Buy into Buys. And then it becomes a lot of work.
Re: Weekly Best Buy Thread
this would only take a small modification to the today only style of offers too
Re: Weekly Best Buy Thread
Sorry guys; love the idea, but I don't see that it's practical: it would be near enough a full time job to take a weekly comparison of all component types across all etailers and put together a report just on pricings, let alone trying to make some kind of objective decision on which one is best to buy; the listings would be out of date within a day or two as stock came in and out and etailers changed their prices; and each thread would probably devolve into a discussion of why some other manufacturer's product is *actually* a better buy despite costing 10% more.
Besides, the current system of people starting threads if they need advice on building to a budget works, and IMNSHO is quite fun, too.
Re: Weekly Best Buy Thread
How about best budget builds of the week? For example a £300, a £500 and a £750 build for general use with an option of AMD or Intel cpus?

It won't change much over single weeks though.. a month maybe makes more sense.. and then we will just forget about it lol
