If 14 is half your age, then we are about to cross the same threshold. I was beginning to think this place was full of older folks and kids....;)

No seriously, naked pictures isnt funny. Not even on these forums but normal pictures or something of like your kid and your old computer would be funny. Like a 3-year-old plugging in a Video card.:D

grand total.......$1050 with monitor, $650 without!

edit: should hardware that overclocks well have extra value? if so, my ti4200 is nearly a ti4400 and my mobo/cpu add another $50 to it. to simplify things, I totaled my value as if everything was bone stock.

Into my main box alone....WAY too damn much for gaming and surfing....But gosh its fast. the value of the scsi alone I could build a good gaming box.
