I got a new computer for Christmas. Couldn't be happier right now.

Not that you care...

*Raven* · 12-24-2003, 12:09 PM

who said I dont care? thats great news!!!!!!!

*jeff the cheff* · 12-24-2003, 12:10 PM

I got one a while ago too, and a cable modem!

My old computer sucked bad, and we had 56k AOL. It was horrible, the computer was barely usable. Now I have one of those dell flatscreens.

*That Matt Guy* · 12-24-2003, 12:13 PM

I built my own computer. Or... well, had someone I hate build it.

*Eye of Sarnath* · 12-25-2003, 06:27 PM

Yup, I'm pretty happy about it. Now I don't have to fight with my family everytime I want to use the computer. I can post on the Technodrome more often.

Michaelangelo|DAH · 12-25-2003, 07:37 PM

Well, is it any good????

I've got a Flat screen too 17''. Hehe just want to show off a bit. Hope you don't mind

*Eye of Sarnath* · 12-25-2003, 09:27 PM

Oh, it's very good. Far better than I was expecting, anyway. Has CD and DVD burners, a 160 GB hard drive, a 128 MB ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card, and a Athlon 2800 XP processor. It runs that leaked Doom 3 alpha perfectly... heh. That's exactly the kind of computer I needed.

*Bowser_Koopa* · 12-25-2003, 09:30 PM

OMG!!!! how much did that cost???!!! i bet it runs project 64 smoothly

..unlike mine

*Eye of Sarnath* · 12-25-2003, 11:21 PM

All said and done... came out to around a reasonable $1,300. Heh.

My parents didn't pay for it all though (they're not THAT generous, $1,300 is a lot of money)- I had quite a bit of money saved up, but not quite enough for a computer. So they said they'd pay for what I didn't have, as a Christmas present. Pity though, because between paying for part of my computer, and buying Christmas gifts, I have no money to buy anything else I wanted for myself, like a new set of speakers (the computer came with some, but they're rather crappy) and some new games to play. Especially Armed and Dangerous. I downloaded the demo, and man, is that game fun.

Michaelangelo|DAH · 12-26-2003, 04:43 AM

Pretty nice computer you have gotten yourself there. But you've only got 160GB hard drive. Dude, i've got 860 GB hard drive wuuhuu hehe. Just showing off a tad

Hope you don't mind

*Eye of Sarnath* · 12-26-2003, 08:45 AM

160 GB is more than I'll ever really need.

Do you do any video editing? I mean, I just kinda wonder what you'd need all that space for.

*Anarky* · 12-26-2003, 08:58 AM

don't say that too loud... I used to say I never use up my 40 GB, then i gotr hooked up eith the net and since then i had to get 240 GB...

@MichelangeloDah: 860 GB??? What the heck d'you need that for? You got a server?

Hey, let's compare computers

- AMD Athlon 1Ghz
- 280 GB
- 512 SDRAM
- GeForce 4 Ti 4400

and i'm going to buy a new soundcard...

Michaelangelo|DAH · 12-26-2003, 09:20 AM

Well, i've sorta got 2 computers!!!

The one with 860 GB Is very bad i only use it to download, and stuff.

Yeah, it's kind of a server. I share it with my brother. But we haven't got an FTP if that's whatcha mean!!!

My real computer is:

- [EDIT] Pentium 4. 1,6 Ghz
- 120 GB
- 512 SDRAM
- GeForce 4 Ti 4400

Well. it's about 1½ year old hehe

Oh and my cabinet is a Black Chieftec MIDI tower with a side window, And there's blue, green and red light in it

*Eye of Sarnath* · 12-26-2003, 11:05 AM

Heh, most of what I do on my computer is play/edit games, so I need something fairly powerful. What I have now more than suits my purposes. I suppose I might need more HD space eventually, but right now I have plenty left... I only have 3 games installed right now anyway. I want more, but I don't have any money.
