With all the cash you spend on hardware, you could take a ncie holiday or buy a girl a fancy meal.
I think I'll let this comp last me for a couple of years...University and general life is eating away at my cash....especially since I can't lay off the CDs Wink.
Well, this computer has lasted me a couple years already, and it's not like I'm throwing it out, I'll just have two computers Razz . I've upgraded this one in the past quite a bit, but it's still running off a 266 FSB, and I'd like something faster. When I first built this comp, I wasn't as aware of prices, and didn't have a whole lot of money either. I also built it knowing that I would probably be building a new one a few years from that time, which is why I went for fairly cheap parts, and even used old parts from my Pentium 100 (just the 30GB hard drive).
I just took a nice vacation (and will be taking another in October), and I can't get a girl to buy a fancy meal for; and even if I could, I would still have enough for that Wink. I mainly want the new one because it will be far more portable, immensely more powerful, and with all the latest technology (64bit, Socket 939, PCI Express, SATA, etc) it "should be" highly upgradeable in the coming years...knock on wood.
