The Situation : As of late my mom has been getting more and more into technology. She recently saw the Amazon's Lightning Deal on the Archos 5 and was obsessed with it. She is very against desktop as we travel a lot and everyone in the family has a laptop ( me included). I eventually convinced her to take my laptop and buy me a desktop. I have a pretty decent laptop ( ASUS Republic of gamers G60vx ) and it hauls. I will be doing a clean install of Windows 7 so it's nice and fresh.
The Problem : Now for the problem. I have NO experience shopping for desktops and I found that CyberPowerPC has very good prices. My budget is as of right now 500-600 dollars. This limits me to a decent AMD desktop. Thing is, I know nothing about desktop ( I've only shopped for laptops, and that only twice) and what specs are considered good for a desktop. To make it even worse, the customization is RIDICULOUS. It allows you to choose from hundreds of different towers, fans, hard drives, and everything about it.
The Ideal Desktop : I am HUGE on multitasking. I spend hours on WoW, with 2-3 youtube pages in the back, a word document open and several forums running in the back too. Again, I can only spend up to 600 ( keyboard and mouse come free I believe ) . It needs to be able to run for hours and hours without a hitch ( not sure if the default case fans are enough ) . Again I stress how limitless the customization is. This is really putting some stress on me and reminds me of how un-tech-ish I am with desktops.
And finally, the cure. I was wondering if anyone who has experience with customizing and / or buying computers from that website could help me. Maybe you only want to tell me the important things to look out for ? Maybe you just want to list a few things I want to avoid ? Maybe you want to be my BFF and pick every single thing out so I can't mess up and go wrong ? No matter what you do I will <3 long time and appreciate it. Thanks in advance ~

Personally, i'd head over to newegg or tigerdirect, and buy a barebones kit, upgrade the power supply, RAM, video card, drop in a dual layer DVD writer and beef up the hard drive. For the money, it's going to be cheaper in the long run, and for the fast "in your face" computer building experience, it will help you familiarize yourself with your new desktop.
It's not hard to put a computer together from scratch, it's just a bit time consuming to someone who's never done it before. As long as you're able to read instructions and understand basic diagrams, it shouldn't be an issue. Just remember to wear some type of grounding strap during the build process. You'll also have a much higher sense of accomplishment knowing the machine running is something YOU put together yourself.

I FULLY agree with that!! I built my computer myself and spent £200
When i could of bought one the same spec, for £600-800
I was just wondering what you all thought. 4.3 is out, obviously, but with the recent speculation that 4.4 Kit Kat may be released in October, why not jump straight from 4.2.2 to 4.4 without passing GO?
This is AT&T we're talking about (SGH-I537), so am I being too optimistic?
Yes, you're being way waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too optimistic but it's still a good thing I suppose.
I say this because I've noted it: I don't think the Active will be available much longer, and I say that because I was in Best Buy last week just after I bought my GS4A off craigslist looking for a battery and a case, and of course they stocked neither, and b) I was in Best Buy yesterday and they don't carry the GS4A anymore, at least not the store I was in.
Last week they did, and they had a floor sample/fake model on display, with the tags, etc, info, and even a brochure explaining the difference.
Yesterday when I stopped by (looking for some blank optical media) I walked through the exact same spot and the GS4A was nowhere to be found, replaced by the Galaxy Mega so I asked the guy about the GS4A and he said "We don't carry those anymore."
Now, Best Buy still has it listed on their website (the Urban Grey and the Dive Blue models) as well as the Urban Grey unlocked, but they did not carry it in the store directly for purchase. I got home and called two other Best Buy locations here in the Las Vegas region and was told the same thing: "We don't carry that in stores anymore..." and of course the sales people are clueless about why.
The Galaxy S4 Active just isn't selling well, and the negative press it received from owners that couldn't comprehend the basic instructions of "no more that 30 minutes in up to 1m/3ft of water, with time to dry off in between 'dunks' under water..." as well as AT&T giving in to a lot of customer complaints from idiots that didn't read the instructions, damaged their phones by not ensuring the seals were tight on the microUSB port as well as making sure the battery cover is on properly (when you do it correctly and press on that area just below the camera flash it will SNAP - with a loud snapping sound - into position which is THEN precise and sealed).
The overwhelming majority of GS4A owners don't get that, and they damaged their phones by not realizing it and not paying attention to it - AT&T and Samsung even put that sticker or the back of the phone with DIAGRAMS of how to ensure the seal, I mean really - and then AT&T was put into a position of having to replace a whole bunch of the GS4A's recently and it hasn't put the phone in a good light.
So I don't expect to ever see a 4.4 upgrade from AT&T, and I mean never. Potentially a 4.3 upgrade in the next month or two (when the actual GS4 gets it or sometime soon afterward which is rumored to be in October), but never 4.4 - AT&T isn't going to waste time supporting a device it's not even going to be selling soon.
Now, take this all with a few grains of salt: this info I just presented is based on my own experience in a retail Best Buy store in a 10 day period: they had it on the shelf ready to buy and walk out with 10 days ago, and less than 24 hours ago (of the time I'm making this post) they didn't - the same Best Buy here in Las Vegas on both visits.
It's my speculation that the GS4A simply won't be available for sale within the next 2-3 months, by New Year's Eve I'd say. AT&T wants to wash their non-water resistant hands of it, sadly... again, that's my speculation. I hate it, I hate knowing the GS4A is a damned fine device, seriously it is: it's a damned GS4 for Pete's sake with a gimped camera resolution and it's missing a few software features the GS4 has which I could care less about, and it's water-resistant as well and comes in a sturdy package/form-factor that I really like (and the Dive Blue color is awesome, I wanted the International version in Flaming Orange but, alas, it wasn't meant to be).
It's a shame this phone isn't getting more interest, it really is.
So for me I'm waiting till the official 4.3 is released for the GS4, then I'll be on the lookout for someone to dump it so it can be properly ported to the GS4A (because of Safestrap and our ability to run ROMs now) and that'll be what I use until KitKat makes an appearance and I do all that over again.
That is, unless the bootloader gets cracked open like the surface of a planet smashed by an asteroid, of course.

I agree... so sad that this phone won't receive regular updates (
guess we have to rely on the standard ROMs being ported now ...
My backplate never does the loud click you speak of. I have heard people say theirs clicks. The only clicks I hear are the ones around the perimeter of the backplate, never under the flash. I haven't had any issues with water leakage in 5-7 dunks. So I figure it should be good for an accidental dunk. Waterproof was second on my list of reason to buy this variant. #1 was the screen. I love being able to see my screen in sunlight.
GT-i9295(i537) thank you safestrap.

Same here. It never clicks under camera but holds up to water just fine. The screen was also my priority and I have to say it is worth every penny.

They're still selling the Galaxy Rugby Pro, even in AT&T stores, and it claims to be water resistant and rugged. That phone is about a year old at this point. I suspect that Best Buy yanked it but AT&T will keep selling it alongside the S4 in corporate and AT&T-branded retailers. Why? Even when (and that day will come) they cut the price of the S4, they can still sell the S4A for a few bucks more because it is different. Going back to the Rugby Pro, the phone it was based on (Galaxy S II Skyrocket, of all things) is long gone but the Rugby Pro persists and at a $100 price point on contract and even got an official update to Jelly Bean 4.1. Hopefully the S4A will follow this same path where it hangs on for a long while, gets a couple of major updates, and its bootloader is busted several months after release.

I had high hopes that I had purchased a semi-mainstream phone that would be updated fairly regularly, avoiding the regular GS4 for the better screen and insulation from dirt/water so hopefully your thoughts are correct. Of course, if we have some heavy participation from the developers here, we are more likely to see future updates beyond 4.3/4.4. I'm already learning a lot more just from reading this forum.

Hopefully somebody can test this out to make sure we can still root it and still install SafeStrap. This is amazing, thank you so much for posting this.

To be completely and totally honest, I don't know you from Adam or anyone else...
My understanding was that you were implying that AT&T was going to drop a 4.3 update later tonight, not that you've created something custom so, I'll take the blame for misunderstanding this time (if I did, that is).

Designgears! Man, it's nice to see your name again, haha. Loved the work you did for the Captivate back when I had it. You pick up an Active?

Nah, just have a leak for you guys
You still looking for someone to test, 'cause I'm willing if you're confident it'll work - not sure if you even have an I537 but now that I do know your reputation (did some research over the past few hours...) I'd be willing to be a guinea pig I suppose.
Not a developer, but someone that's been mucking around with ROMs of all kinds for nearly a decade now, from PocketPCs to this GS4A I have now.

Ah okay, well I, as well as I'm sure everyone here, definitely appreciate it! I too would be willing to be a guinea pig if you still need one. :good:
If they skip 4.3 we will be waiting till December at least for an update
Kit kat not expected till Oct/Nov time add then that it will take a couple of months to optimise tw,get it through carrier testing etc we will b waiting forever. They already skipped 4.2 to give us 4.3, it doesn't make sense to skip 4.3 especially when kitkat hadn't even been released yet.

Are you sure you're not talking about a different phone, the S4 Active ships with 4.2.2 and we have a leaked pre-release of 4.3 so I'd say a 4.3 release is right around the corner, and 4.4 will probably come some time next year shortly after the regular S4 gets it.

Google should be showing off new Nexus devices (possibly more than one phone?) in October or November, which is when we are also likely to see Android 4.4 KitKat. With that said, Samsung has announced that it will be updating the Samsung Galaxy S III and Galaxy S4 to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean sometime in October.

well, to accurate the I9500 & the I9505 S4 have already started getting their updates - we are just waiting for the US versions
