so what'$ the damage?
« on: July 25, 2004, 11:56:49 PM »
I am just curious to see what the latest rev of AH has damaged our collective pocket books...but our loss helps the economy, right??

I am out approx $200 for a new video card...anyone else shelling out?

I dumped about that much on a new vid card...though that was because the old one smoked right after I started playing.

my 3 yr + old gammer plays ah2 just fine . I did just replace its gf2 card though with a $90 ATI just to improve the eye candy though . not a bad investment for a machine that is that old.

Conservatively $950.00 including new MB, ATI 9800 vid card, USB CH PRo pedals and a new headset.

You can add a previous incumbancy of $650/00 AUS for the Cougar Hotas just to play AH.

and the coming chip all required for my personal enjoyment of AH of $500.00.

All up for AH alone as the primary joy of my internet gaming (not including monthly play fees, slate me for $2100.00.

Why?


Why the hell not :)

AH doesn't drive my upgrade schedule, I was ready for AH2 a year ago.

So, $0 for AH2 upgrade

Hundreds of $ for upgrades in the past years just to stay out of the stone age computer wise.

I spent $800 on my comp and $80 on the joystick. Lol it's funny when you think about it. We need an AH school for addiction.
