Got the new computer tower up (obviously)!!

[5thGenDemocrat]

Andy the Right Wing Republican (my pal) finished installing the new Windows XP service pack 2 into the new tower today.
Here are the details:
Former hard drive: 7g.
New hard drive: 80 g.
256 RAM.
2.2 Pentium equivalent AMD processor.
400 watt power pack (formerly 200w).
Free DVD player (from Andy's 3100 Dell).
And a Santa Cruz Turtle Bay sound card.
Total cost (not including the new Windows XP.2 OS) -- $96.83.
Andy'll build one for you, too -- but you GOTTA pay him.
That is all.

Plus, he bought the 12-pack of Bud Light. Such a great guy (except in November)!

1. sounds good

now you just need a jumbo-video card with (one of those sweet ones with 2 system fans on it), some more ram, a projec. . . ah Jesus it never ends.

2. Andy says he's already got all that (on his computer)

I just get the leftovers (you know how it is on extremely low income -- like mine). Still, this is very cool.
John
And Andy said EXACTLY the same thing about the mega-video card.

3. naah. that computer sounds really nice.

congrats, I bet you're loving in.

don't mind my peskiness over the video card thing. i have an unhealthy affinity for video cards for some reason, it's my own problem and I didn't mean to make it yours;).

4. It's fast -- it's very very fast

And, for less than a hundred bucks (not including the new OS -- which was a true upgrade), I wonder why I didn't do it sooner.
John
Well, because I'm an idiot sometimes -- but there you are.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

5. wow, he basically gave it to you?

oh, and I like the fact that you have an AMD chip. Luv AMD.

6. Andy says he doesn't go with Intel

Says AMD is the bomb. Pentium 4's suck, in his humble opinion.
John
Andy ain't humble about much -- but he hates Pentium.
