  1. Y U No get a custom build laptop then XD
    Grab a GTX580M
  2. Got my 1st computer in 1983, a Sanyo 550 desktop w/14" monitor. No hard drive just two 5.25 floopy drives and it ran MSdos 5.0...I think. I added extra ram to give it a total of 256K. I still have it up in a closet. :D OH...Cost me just over $800 as I worked for a computer shop then.

    Not my pic but that's what it looks like.

  4. Thanks for correcting me.
    Oh, nvm your correction is wrong.
    When i write a phrase like "i have a MacBook PRO and a toshiba" if i write as follows " i use the pro for extreme gaming" then by "pro" MacBook PRO is understood.

    When i say "Andrew is an awesome dude, HE is friendly" then by "HE" Andrew is understood

    Lemme go back to my 6TH GRADE to remember some grammar for you.
    I forgot the name of that rule, but i'll look it, brb.
  5. Sager FTW :D:D
  6. Oh, I wasn't aware I was correcting you.

  7. I'm (among other stuff *like empiremaniac*) MacManiac.
  8. First computer I can say I've owned would be a 1999 HP Pavilion 6630 with a 498MHz processor and now 256MB RAM. Oddly enough that was a budget system and it still cost $700. It's still sitting in my room to this day.
  9. Mine was an emachines laptop for £200. Classy.

  10. Reading this post makes me feel old... 16k ram makes people think 16000mb (not picking just stating), and there's a whole generation who don't know what a floppy disk is, and even more who don't realize the first floppy disks were actually floppy.

    This is the computer I am nearly able to afford. I will be taking delivery of it within the next month. :D

    Justin wanting another server provider? You can host the server on this beast :p

    haha, I agree with you, but I dont fall into that category as I knew what a floppy was right from a young age :)

  12. That's nice but seems a little overpriced. I have less than $3000 in my current computer I built myself 13 months ago. That includes the three 27" monitors. I do have it clocked down to 4.6ghz currently as once in a while it would hang on restart.

  13. Oh yea, I am not specifically getting it from this place, infact I am buying all the parts myself and am going to build it myself. I can get all the parts WAY cheaper than the price in the link. I am just using this website to show you what my computer is going to have component wise :)

    Sorry I should have included that I am not specifically going to get it from here :oops:
