Who goes though hardware like I do?

[{PMS}fishy]

I was just thinking about the computers that I have had since Jan, thats less than six months, and I now no longer wonder where all my money goes. Not only that, but I was never really happy with anything that I owned. Any chronic upgraders here like me?

Oh, and 1 Dell 700m Laptop.
Some one has to be as bad as I am.

 

[Mr. Perfect]

Wow. I haven't even owned half that many parts in the last 4 years. Considering how much money that must have cost, I'm not to upset about it though.

 

[Sentential]

I do but that shouldnt suprise you

[Gautam]

Crimedog, I'm sure all of that hardware must be quite a clutter. Let me graciously offer to take some of it off your hands. You may send me one of those Prometeias, and perhaps while you're at it, oh, 3 or 4 of those 6800Ultras, hell lets make it 5.

No need to thank me.

 

[Xenocide]

im not even going to get started, but most of you know i go through hardware almost as much as fish.

just got my 700m yesterday

PS: Gautam, is that your car?, if so, when am i getting a ride?

 

[Gautam]

PS: Gautam, is that your car?

Yeah, right. I wish.

 

[Xenocide]

hahah

 

[orionlion82]

crimedog

woot! any time i see an upgrade for little/no money it's instinctive to buy it.

Funny, I'm the same way.

Also, I find it almost impossible to not buy a new processor when I can afford it and I'm bored with my current one, just to see if the newer stepping will go a little further (and strangely enough - it always does ).

 

[{PMS}fishy]

Don't make me try and think back to all the socket A stuff that I had.

 

[Xenocide]

i think i had about 4 p4 478 setups, 4 amd socket A's. 1 775 setup, 1 754 setup. a crapload of 370's, three slot 1s.

two laptops too on my second

 

[SK8]

Oh man dont get me started, i blew over 5grand last year on pc junk and its all been sold lol.

 

[felinusz]

Don't make me try and think back to all the socket A stuff that I had.

Heh.

You can tell that **someone** has been holding off on an upgrade for a loooooong time .

I just realized that almost my entire list is composed of Socket A stuff .

 

[turd]

Sombody stop me!

 

[Midnight Dream]

<.< I went through...ummmm....2 video cards. Thats pretty much it.

 

[CrystalMethod]

Hmmmm.... Think my list is almost as big. I even have a mother board I still have no clue why I bought. Needs a CPU and RAM.

 

[SolidxSnake]

9x 6800u

you have to have quadruple cascade phase-change with a watercooled peltier on your dos rig
