qwebirc10526salut à tou(te)s, j'aimerai acheter un PC sans OS, je suis nouvel arrivant au Québec. Y aurait il un magasin ou un site qui permet d'acheter ou de se monter son propre PC sans OS ??18:07
qwebirc10526merci de votre réponse !18:08
qwebirc10526ps  : je suis actuellement à Montréal :)18:08
Ankmanhmm...18:09
Ankmanje pense il coute plus cher d'acheter un PC "customized"18:10
Ankmanlaptop, dektop?18:10
Ankmansorry for my bad french. am not born here18:11
qwebirc10526no probleme i can speak english18:11
qwebirc10526but i m afraid it may be wors than your french :)18:12
qwebirc10526it would be a desktop PC, maybe a mini-pc18:12
Ankmanbut no rasperry?18:13
qwebirc10526i don't know but i m looking for a place where you can make and / or custumize your own pc18:13
Ankmanone with keyboard, may be monitor18:13
qwebirc10526no raspberry ;)18:13
Ankmanok18:13
Ankmanwhere are you from?18:13
qwebirc10526I'm from france, but i live in Montreal since 3 weeks, and i'll stay permanently18:14
Ankmananyway, there are three big retailers. one dumber than the other. futureshop, bestbuy and staples18:15
Ankmanstaples you might know from france18:15
Ankmancalled "buereau en gros" here because they rename everthing french. not even people in france do this18:15
qwebirc10526ha ok... I know FShop (not very great :( ) and i heard about BBuy... i ll try staples18:16
Ankmanyou probably get cheaper PCs there. then delete windows or split the hard drive and install linux18:16
AnkmanBest Buy worse than futureshop18:16
qwebirc10526yep... :( 18:16
qwebirc10526what a shame18:16
Ankmanstaples is probably the best of the three18:16
Ankmanthen there are online retailers. http://www.tigerdirect.ca for example18:17
qwebirc10526we have to pay for a product that we won't use (windows :( )18:17
Ankmanyes, but because thePCs are often very cheap it's still cheaper than customizing your own computer18:17
Ankmanof course hardware on these cheap PCs is cheap (budget class usually)18:18
Ankmanif you want good hardware you have to customize yourself18:18
Ankmanthere is another channel here. may be there are more people who know stores here where you can do this18:18
