| The Awesome One | So one of my friends is moving to Ontario at the end of the month and has to make some cash, and get rid of a bunch of stuff real quick. She posted pictures of everything she was selling on Facebook. The first thing I noticed was a computer for 75 bucks. I also noticed that it was a P4. I've been looking for a cheap upgrade from my old system (Athlon 1 ghz) for quite some time now so I immediately messaged her and said I'd take it. I had no idea what else was in the system as far as hard drives, video etc.. I didn't even know the clock speed on it. But I figured, a P4 is virtually guaranteed to be faster than my AMD so it was worth 75 bucks. So I get there and she tells me that someone had just offered her 100 for it. I was a little miffed that I went all the way over there with the money and so forth, so I told her I'd match it. She agreed. So what did my 100 bucks get me? Pentium 4 3.0 ghz 80 gb SATA hard drive 1 GB of Corsair ram She also gave me a 17 inch CRT monitor and all the cables etc... So now after tearing apart my old system for the hard drives, my new PC is the specs above, with an additional 20 GB and 100 GB ATA hard drives and a Geforce 6200. I just finished installing Command and Conquer 3 which I haven't been able to play since it came out. I'm happy with my hundred dollar purchase ![]() Now could someone buy me groceries this week?

| Religious Fanatic | I just got a hold of a DualCore with a GeForce 8800 and 2GB RAM sans hard drive for nothing... It was *broken*, meaning the DIMMS weren't in the socket properly so it wouldn't boot. Hehehe
