and he has a 19 inch plasma flatscreen monitor

You sure Stealth it costs that much. I could buy oh...about 8 new cars for that sum...

EDIT: oh, my mistake. I though you meant 270000

Actually, all the ones I have gotten so far have been in the $3200-3500 range, but that is with the monitor.

I really don't see the point of those flat monitors though. The picture looks the same and they are three times the price of a conventional monitor of the same screen size. About the only advantage is that they are not back-breaking to carry, but who really does that so often anyway...

EDIT: oh, my mistake. I though you meant 270000

if I had that kind of money I would buy a mobile crane truck or something...

I'd give the money to deaf, one legged jews.

This computer is a custom build.  I was thinking of building my next one, too.  But I don't know if I want to deal with that hassle.  I'm thinking of actually buying one... Probably a Dell.  But I don't know, I like being able to do whatever I want on the computer and I'm worried a pre-installed system is just going to suck.  I remember my only pre-installed desktop was an old packard bell, and you couldn't do a thing to that computer...

I really don't need anything from this old system except the memory (if it's still supported on the new one, which I doubt), and the 30 gig HD. I'll prob sell the GF2 and research what a good vid card is at a good price.

Your memory is probably worthless, just like the P3 and the 128MB stick of PC100 I have lying on the floor over there.

For a good fairly cheap video card, you can get a GF4Ti4200  for 120, or  a Radeon 8500 for about 70.

Yes. I've discovered a penchant for FPSs, and the cutting edge variety require the latest in PC power to play well. For instance, upping my ram from 256 to 512 chopped my BF1942 map load time from 3 minutes to about 25 seconds. I've yet to try it with the new CPU (the discs are damaged, so I can't check yet).

Either way, it was worth it.

I don't like these guys. Usually they are very...arrogant. "Eeeewww, I see a tiny ant in the other corner of the room. Take it off. Take it off!"

if i had a $2,700.00 computer, i'd be proud of it, whether i'm rich or not rich.

Usually i hate kids like that, but this family's actually cool... they aren't arrogant, and they're very generous with their money.
