Necrosis 04-19-2004 07:49 PM

do they sell courage?! lol

Steve 04-19-2004 07:53 PM

tell em you can do your homework faster on it ;)

Necrosis 04-19-2004 07:54 PM

hehe bosting excuse. another question for yer. is it possible to buy it in bits, the package i mean? that way i could spend £300 in total, but in short "bursts" as it were? or must they all be installed at the same time for my pc to still work?

Steve 04-19-2004 07:56 PM

looks like it would all have to be together :/
it is quite outdated unfortunatley :(

atholon 04-19-2004 07:57 PM

Lol, tell them it is a good deal pc's are actually pretty affoardable right now, the key is to not go for all of the "top of the line" things, just get a decent computer that runs. "Top of the line" really means "I am going to be outdated in about 3 months" :D

Necrosis 04-19-2004 08:00 PM

yer i no, said aint it. spose i could buy and collect until i had all the parts.... or cash.... seeing as i dont have a credit card ro cheque book ,lol

Steve 04-19-2004 08:04 PM

i just did a £300 upgrade here without actually having the money :/ but i only ended up with RAM/mobo/CPU

and after that im still working with a gfx card that gives me a pink screen of death every time i play games and a power supply that has burn marks on the plastic around the pins :O

atholon 04-19-2004 08:05 PM

I wasted the money I was going to use to buy a car on my computer I was almost tempted to do it again but I think a car is more important ;)

Necrosis 04-20-2004 03:06 AM

o dear, lol. im selling my drum kit for £275 or thereabouts, and my bday is in july = game+ roughly£100 ...... just the persuasionplan needssoem work

Necrosis 04-20-2004 05:21 AM
