Good times...

[Raditzu]

Yeah... ok... that was pretty funny.

[Tobias]

XD Wheeeeeee

[Reijin]

That was pretty funny. Nice little read while I cry over the fact that the Halloween festivals are going on on Final Fantasy XI and my computer is out of commision till I get a new one and I'm missing it AGAIN (NA release was just after the event last year.)

[Old Selipa]

That was fun to read, I?m actually going to take the time to send it to people because of it. lol

/hijacks the thread

HEY EVERYBODY! Let's take this thread completely off topic! Since all of my threads get done this way.

Anyways...

Yeah, I can't wait until I get a new computer... I keep looking at it eyes wide on Newegg and keep adding parts to it, increasing the cost, and thus wait time, to get it for. But... I'm willing to fight like hell to get a GOOD computer this time. So far the cost is 1500 for the parts, not including the combo drive I already have, mouse, keyboard, and speakers. I have those. Getting new monitor though. And later, I'll add to that cost by getting new speakers/soundcard and a new desk I'm looking at. And a chair.

Then we begin working on my gf's comp. After we get a new TV.

Saving like mad. I want. NOW. I'm at about the 1300 mark in savings... Just... a bit... more... probably after Christmas though (meaning I'll miss out on the Christmas events on FFXI also... again... Last year I was having comp problems during that and missed it.) due to Christmas shopping

If nobody's there, you stand around and do NOTHING.

I wouldn't. I wanna play games for fun. If I did it day in and day out for a living (especially having to QT the shitty games) it would take all the fun out of it.

[Vegeta]

He doesn't know anything about computer hardware so he's buying whatever has the highest price tag. =D

[Tobias]

Speaking of computers I was thinkin' about nabbing on o' these

My friednd says Im retarded and I could upgrade my current comp to run better for less. But I says to him " But It looks really cool =("

[Vegeta]

alienware is not as good as they claim. you could do alot better for $1500. i bet you could probably find an as cool case if you looked around.

[Tobias]

Oh yea... Im poor... But I figure give me a couple decades and I could pay it off.

[Tobias]

My parents are poor...

[Metal Koola]

I've been considering getting FFXI for a long long time... I really don't know what's stopped me up to this point. Is it worth the monthly price tag?

[Reijin]

To me, yes, but I'm also wanting to play WoW.

Anyways, Koola, actually I've been reading magazines and stuff trying to research it. Here's what I have listed.

I don't want to just get "something that will work for now", I want something I want have to upgrade for a while, at least for a year.

Case

Decent tower, my friend has the non-windowed version of this.

Motherboard

Seems decent, but I'm willing to change it if I find something that better suits my needs.

Memory

As far as memory goes, I've always used Kingston b/c I've heard it was good durable RAM. And from what I've seen, yes, it's reliable. I have heard a lot about Corsair though, and while I'm a bit wide eyed at the price tag, I'll try it and see how they go. I've heard they are really fast good memory, and I want a gig for gaming.

Processor

Seems like a pretty good processor for the cost. I am not planning to overclock (since I have not had practice with that) but if I decide to in the future (after learning more about computers in general) I can. It's also cheaper to me than the Intel equivalent. I haven't had the overheating problems with AMD that I've heard about, nor have a couple of my friends that have run them for years, nor my dad. I think those problems won't really occur till you DO OC. I'd kill for one of the EE chips But yeah, whatever, this seems good enough to me.

Powersupply

With this, I'm pretty much assured I'll have enough power when I DO upgrade it and add stuff.

Video Card

My beautiful video card. I picked this looking through the various GeForce 6800GTs, and thought it had the best package. Later I picked up a magazine where they did an in depth look at that exact card, the XFX one, and gave it a 9/10. Plus it has Doom3 with it. I've heard that the X800 is better for D3, but this card appeals to me more for other gaming.

Harddrive

I've added this and dropped it, multiple times. It's expensive, but if I have the spare money for it, I'll go for it, just to see how the thing runs.

Monitor

I want a decent sized monitor. I don't want it taking an ass of room on my desk. If anyone has a better suggestion, feel free.

In the future I'm planning on getting a decent sound card and some better speakers than these 10$ one's I have, but that's not really that important so for now I'll wait. I'm also probably getting a new DESK at some point. A friend of mine has this one, and I want a corner or L-Desk for 150 or lower. Preferably not glass.

[Reijin]

Wow, I do like that case. For the cost it's not bad. How does air flow go?
