Just wondering if anyone knows or has any opinions on what the best possible computer setup I could get for 1-2 thousand dollars would be... Mainly for gaming. *StarCraft II* <_< >_>



None.

Well the requirements for Starcraft 2 aren't out yet (not that I know of anyways), but it shouldn't require a beast of a machine.

Making your own computer would be best.Start at www.newegg.com for some goods.

CyberPower PCs are pretty good too and don't cost a whole lot of money to buy. They are always featured in PCGamer magazine and what not.

The computer I "built" on CyberPower PC is almost twice as much as the one with basically the same components on newegg.

yea vista does suck so dual boot with linux after you get a Brand New Dell Inspiron i currently have one and it has the best dual core cpu,2 gigs of ram,120 gigs of space,GET THE BEST BATTERY,and i have vista home premium,its works just fine and is very very fast.plus thy said maybe even a windows 2000 could play starcraft 2 dont worry guys it doesnt take a maxed out AlienWare Desktop with Quad-Core Technology to not lag on B-net 0_o


o and my latop was $1000 exactly(without tax) ;)

Vista doesn't suck, just accept it.

Build your own computer from Newegg. Of the best deal i could find on a desktop I rebuilt the same computer on Newegg with a graphics card 2 series up, and it knocked off nearly 300 dollars.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
