'itll cost you about $500 since u already have the monitor and stuff'
well i had just talked to my bro about parts when icalled her. turned out she just went out to get a computer with her mom... sony vaio.... $2200!!
"oh wellwe got the flat screen" ok ok thats $300-$400
"well we got the 3 year warranty for $300" wonderful, u just earned this asshole commission
"well he told me that if yuo build it yourself its becuase you only want certain parts. but just becuase yuo want it, doesnt mean someone else will want it. so if you uby it yourself then yuo have all of the parts you need" hmmmm for $500 i have EVERY thing youc ould possibly need (minus a dvd burner.. but there isnt much use for THOSe yet)
"well its my parents money so who cares" oh yeh you wouldnt have anything better to spend that 1700 on anyway...

Put together a new computer for myself a little over a year ago. All the best according to my friends. Asus board, Plextor burner, ATI Video, Creative Audigy Sound...Had to replace the board about 2 months ago, at least it was under warrenty. The burner quit working about 2 weeks ago, not under warrenty any more :mad: and I had to replace the power supply last Friday. maybe they were all connected I don't know, but I feel like an idiot. |
