DAMN IT!
It has been days and it still has not come yet. I know the guy said it would take about a week but I want it now. I am such an impatient bastard. hehe oh well wink.gif

 

Damn dude, you have WAY too much time on your hands if you need to pull up year old posts. rolleyes.gif

 

HAHA, I was gonna say your an idiot for buying a PIII 1 gig! I didn't realize how old the post was!

 

DUDE....YOUR GETTING A DELL!!!!!

 

Yes, yes he is.

 

Dell makes some good stuff at good prices. I'm not overly fond of their server line, and I don't think I'd put a Dell server in a mission critical role, but for something that can afford to be down a couple days, if need be? You can't beat it.

I'm too cheap to buy retail, though. I have a self-assembled PIII/1GHz, 1024Mb RAM, Decent video card, Sound blaster Live sound card, 80Gb 7200 RPM HDD machine at home. Motherboard is refurbished, case was bought (Along with a bunch of other stuff) in a lot for $10. OS and software is using extra licenses from work. Total cost to me, including 19" monitor was under $1000 Canadian dollars about 7 months ago. I was experimenting with overclocking, and I can get 1.35GHz out of it reliably for at least 2 hours of Unreal Tournament.

But since I can fix it if anything goes wrong, I don't need Dell's tech support. If I did, I'd probably buy one of them, too.

 

Yup, I bought the computer almost a year ago. It is actually more then I need but I don't mind.

And yes, dells customer service does suck ass.

 

Phear my massive 300mHz Penitum processor, as you experience the wrath of my 8GB hard drive.

 

Holy **** this is an old post.
