heh, he looked, yeah guess im maybe older than half.
haha, yeah show me one of these:

(goto virtual system tour to see the whole thing)
and I may start getting jealous, but not for long. I'm just waiting for them to come out w/ the 800Mhz bus and 1MB cache (aswell as reg'd ecc pc3200 ddr) and possibly that lga interface. That seems maybe like a year or so away :).
If you leave the software on it, I will sell it to you for a 1000 bucks plus.
Take all the software off and you can have it for 300 - 400 bucks.
Speaking of which.....
I always find it funny that software doesnt drop like a rock in price like hardware does... Even after there is an update available.. The older version is still quite expensive...
Such as MS Office 2000 vs. MS Office XP :)
But with hardware, its a whole different ball game!
probably partially due to piracy, and also because MS want to pimp their latest product on everyone, who would buy officexp if 2k costed half as much?Quote:

Old games and very old operating systems such as windows 95 or perhaps photoshop from 1996 may cost half as much
lol you own your wife and kid. I know what you mean with that sentence but it was funny to me when i read the wife and kid part for some reason, guess cause its pretty late or something. :)Quote:

"Rawwwrrr.... I'm turned on already. lol"
You keep asking to see my nakid computer case, I shall satisfy your machine(and animal) desires :)
Hey TB how about some comp pics from you... I really would like to know what your setup looks like :D
1. 19" NEC FE950+ monitor...........$250 (estimate, I haven't seen one around lately)
2. 2.66GHz P4...............$180(includes cheap heatsink/fan)
3. 512MB Samsung PC1066........$200
4. 4X LiteON DVD±RW burner.........$250
5. 48X/12X/48X LiteON..............$40
5. 2*80GB Western Digital 8MB cache HDs........$80*2 = $160
6. ABit TH7II-RAID.............$80
7. 64MB retail R8500..........$70
8. 56k Diamond multimedia hardware modem.........$30
9. Antec PerformancePlus 1080 430w and Trupower psu ...........$130
10. floppy, mouse, keyboard, cables, fans........$150 (a lot of expensive logitech cordless devices + a lot of cooling equipment, fans, etc)
11. Xerox Laser Photocopier/Printer/Scanner................$300
12. Canon N1240U scanner...................$100
13. Palm m105.............................$100 (discontinued, this is an estimated price based on conversion of previous Canadian pricing).
14. Turtle Beach Santa Cruz.................$50
15. Logitech Z560............................$150
16. Canon S600 colour printer................$50
17. 100MB Zip Drive..........................$50
18. Logitech GamePad.........................$20
19. ATI TV Wonder.............................$50
Total: $2410 with monitor, $2160 without monitor.
Ouch, that price really hurts considering I bought this system about 8 months ago (well, most of it, the DVD burner is new) for about twice that number! Errr.....
Note: These prices are all based on Canadian pricing in retail outlets converted to U.S. pricing. Pricing may not match current U.S. pricing but is equivalent in terms of currency.
EDIT: Forgot to include network card, I have a Linksys card, I don't think that costs over $20US though. Too lazy to add it to the list.
Now take that number multiply it by 2. Take that number multiply it by 4. That's the amount of money I've spent on computer hardware alone in the past 10 years.
Boy are you a sick-o, heehehehehehehehe:D ;)Quote:
