Uncle Du 22 Posted October 13, 2005 If you know where to look, pretty much any computer related stuff can be found for cheap. And not just crappy stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsl 7 Posted October 13, 2005 I dunno how people can call this stuff cheap. You guys must all be rich or something. How is it people can just run out and buy PS IIs, Xbox's, and the latest ipod like the day they come out? I feel guilty buying a $20 pair of jeans. :| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsl 7 Posted October 13, 2005 Shelter is a neccesity though! lol It's not like I went out and bought a big fancy mansion. My mortgage payments are less than most places' rent around here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GI_Admiral 2 Posted October 13, 2005 comparitively. A 20,000,000$ comp is cheaper than a 500,000,000,000$ comp. Even though both are very expensive compred to salaries. 20$ jeans might be more expensive than <20$ jeans. building a comp is the cheapest though :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsl 7 Posted October 13, 2005 Still doesn't explain how people can run out and buy all the latest crazy tech all the time And yes it is. I plan to build a new one someday soon, if and when I ever get the house put together and enough money saved up to do it. I think you'd have to be nuts to buy a prepackaged comp. They're crappy and rediculously overpriced! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ender 8 Posted October 13, 2005 I dunno how people can call this stuff cheap. You guys must all be rich or something. How is it people can just run out and buy PS IIs, Xbox's, and the latest ipod like the day they come out? I feel guilty buying a $20 pair of jeans. Well, I usually can't, but I've got two jobs and I'm gettin lots of money from the rock and roll business. Btw, the new iPod is absolutely fantastic. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted October 13, 2005 Shelter is a neccesity though! lol It's not like I went out and bought a big fancy mansion. My mortgage payments are less than most places' rent around here. I can't even afford a mortgage. And that's why I spend all my money on useless stuff. I'd spend it on renting if i could afford anything worth it, but houses and stuff are way to expensive over here. The cheapest houses i've seen locally are about $150,000. And renting is about $750 per month on average. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsl 7 Posted October 13, 2005 maybe you should save your money instead of spending it all on useless stuff? lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) Hey, I have a house, and I'm married, so we have two incomes. And the cost of living in Virginia is pretty good too. It's not like I always run out and get stuff, and when I do, it's been budgeted for, or saved for. So...can anyone tell me how to partition a hard drive? :p Edited October 13, 2005 by Du(SW) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted October 13, 2005 maybe you should save your money instead of spending it all on useless stuff? lol Yeah but what would I do with it? Save it to spend later? Pfft! Nah, I'll buy cool stuff now, cos later when I can afford a mortgage, I won't be able to afford much else. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsl 7 Posted October 14, 2005 Save up for a down payment to make your mortgage smaller so you can afford stuff? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mara 29 Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) If you know where to look, pretty much any computer related stuff can be found for cheap. And not just crappy stuff. Circuit City was having a good deal or something. Still doesn't explain how people can run out and buy all the latest crazy tech all the time And yes it is. I plan to build a new one someday soon, if and when I ever get the house put together and enough money saved up to do it. I think you'd have to be nuts to buy a prepackaged comp. They're crappy and rediculously overpriced! I never get all the latest stuff. And if I do, it's two years after it's outta style, lol.

Tsl 7 Posted October 14, 2005 Best place for comp components is online. Stores like Circuit City and Best Buy waaaayyy over charge. Try newegg.com or zipzoomfly.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted October 14, 2005 Hey my dad bought it for me. I'm not complaining. If he didn't, I'd still be using Crappius Maximus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurelius 1 Posted October 14, 2005 OK, so I got a question. I've got this new computer, and it's got a 250 gig hard drive, and I wanna partition it. Only problem is, I've never done it before. So, can any help me, pweeeease? Not sure if anyone answered your question, but you could get a copy of Partition Magic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) I can get that at any local store that sells software right? Edited October 14, 2005 by Du(SW) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurelius 1 Posted October 14, 2005 Should be able too, Might be best to call though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted October 14, 2005 I would think so too, it's a fairly well known bit of software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted September 27, 2006 Just installed a lovely card reader into my comp. Funny thing is that it adds each slot as a new drive... For some reason I had thought it wouldn't do that. Oh well, now when I go into My Computer (or "t3h ub3r c0mput3r" as I have labelled it), it shows that I have the following drives: A: C: D: E: F: G: H: I: Think I should add some more? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
