Of course I dont speak for myself there...Im old enough to BE a parent!! :frog: Luckily, I don't have any spoiled brat kids to buy computer parts for ...ha!
so it was time.
Someone said:I have never upgraded a computer for a game or two or three and never will. Just don't have the cash to do that and it seems a bit of a waste when I have more important things to spend money on.
But I did upgrade this year simply because my computer was a Duron 700 with 192meg with a 6 gig hard drive.

Half-death said:Hrmmm... about MACHINE's system... it is really awesome. Alienware, that cost fortunes... and i'd imagine anyone who bought that would be too broke to get a 15 inch monitor but you got a 23 inch apple widescreen.
so, are you the son of bill gates?
ummm... really, i'm just curious. man... you gotta be friggin rich...

razorblade kiss said:Amen bro. People get jealous. It's human nature. I'm not cocky though, I'm very grateful to have been able to order such a machine at 21 years old. Definitely glad I went with AW. Especially with their 16 phase pc purchase list, and a 200 pt checklist before shipping the system out. These guys mean business. I won't regret for 1 minute ordering that machine. I respect the guys who build there machines, I wont rag on them. They should NOT rag on me. I don't have the time to put together my own, and I have some good ol flowing American greenery right now. So I splurged.
razorblade kiss said:Since 1998 Half Life was my life. Dedicated much time to the game itself, the mods, it's community. To me it was more than a game. It was a lifestyle. Something only I could never get my friends to understand. They just couldnt see it. But I connected with HL. The game ran beautifully on my 1.8 mhz Voodoo 3, 128mb ram system. So I won't play HL2 on anything but the best. I decided to get a little self indulgent yesterday at work. I ordered a new Alienware.
Heres the specs.
Chassis: Alienware® Full-Tower Case (480-Watt PS) - Saucer Silver
Power Supply: No Power Supply Upgrade
Processor: Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor w/ HT Technology 2.8GHz
Motherboard: ASUS® P4C800-E Deluxe - Intel 875P Motherboard

Video Card: ATI RADEON™ X800 XT Platinum Edition 256MB DDR3 w/Digital and TV Out
System Drive: High Performance - Serial ATA - 80GB Seagate® Barracuda 7,200 RPM w/8MB Cache
Optical Drive One: Lite-On® 16x DVD-ROM Drive with Software DVD Decoder
Floppy Drive: 3.5" 1.44 MB Floppy Disk Drive - Black
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster® Audigy® 2 High Definition 6.1 Surround

Speakers: Logitech® Z-640 5.1 70-Watt Speakers
Home Networking: D-Link® 802.11G Wireless Base Station
The total just almost hit 3 grand, but I figured what the hell. I was tired of skimping out on previous computer buys. Maybe cutting back on the graphics card to save money, or not getting the monitor I wanted. I've waited for HL2 since the day the first screens came out last year. I love HL, I love HL2, I owe it to myself to be able to enjoy this game to it's max. I love video games.
So who else updated? When? Why? Last year before the infamous Sept release date? Who bought XT cards just to get the voucher? Tell me your stories. I love hearing them
