that 5-1/4 inch drive deserves to be in your computer!!!! it makes the coolest sound when turned on, very geeky, i give ya props for it at least chillin on ur desk tho

and i think some of you have too much money!! I want a flat panel darn

ill post pics of my setups later and my pretty blue glowing box

HAHA, I see some open open bays Chris... throw that bitch in there. I think I have some 15+ year old 5.25 disks laying around somewhere with some educational games you might enjoy playing.

How's Number Munchers sound... great game (my fav)

You and me both, it's a pricey addiction too. When I got bored last week I priced how much to build myself another computer and use this one to upgrade one of my servers in the basement or build a decent Linux box to work on. To build everything the way I want it using the new MSI Neo4 NForce4 /w SLI, MSI Geforce 6800 Ultra (PCI-E), Athlon64 3000+ o/c to 3500+... ect... it'd all cost me nearly $1800. Love to do it.... but really don't want to spend that kinda cash just yet on building another PC when I really wanna have some head work done on the R/T and all.

btw, I have a stuffed Y2K bug sitting on my desk from '99

you sound like my b/f, except he actually keeps buying more computer stuff. In the past year, he's built 3 different computers, changed motherboards a few times, sold stuff he got bored with to buy more stuff, right now he has 2 oc'd computers that are both water cooled but he wants to sell em both I think and build another one. I really think he's just throwing away money, but i guess if it were being spent on me it'd be somewhat like throwing it away too, he's just having more fun doing it on computers. heh

jason on the other hand.... with his 20" widescreen monitor AND 32" LCD TV...

I used to be that way back in HS haha. After graduating I toned down a lot in the computer area because I started to get a little bored of it and it wasn't really a challenge anymore. Right now, as long as I can get on the net, get my e-mail, and do some gaming every now and then when I get bored... thats all I need. I dont' need to have the latest and greatest everytime something new comes out like I used to, but when I do decide to build a new computer, I always seem to go all out. I've toned down so much that when I priced everything the other week I had to actually research everything and read up on the new stuff that's come out I've went from wanting to mod my PC case to modding my car.
