I recently purchased a new rig from Til Death and I am very pleased. His work was top notch and he was very courteous, and professional in my dealings with him. If I ever had a question he was just a phone call away, and he made sure I was happy with my system.

Thanks TilDeath

Holy cow. Nice system.

I remember the day when a 486DX2 66 EASA VESA with 32MB RAM and dual 120MB hard drives was the most powerful desktop around. More storage and memory than you would ever need, even as a file server running Lantastic, Novell, or Banyan Vines...it was obsolete within 2 years.

Death is a straight shooter and Im going to buy my next one from him.

From now on its builds for gaming. Buying store brands just aint the answer.

Thats a nice looking rig he put together for you. Enjoy.

Thing, Have you had a chance to salivate on it yet?

I have been doing a lot of research. It is extremely difficult to find anything that rates the cards against this game... ...until now.

I had an earlier post and TilDeath may have saved my marriage (good or bad). I know now that I would have bought the popular name brand only to have to spend more money upgrading and trouble shooting.

Thanks to Skuzzy & Time (LazyDog) I finally posted something here and got immediate response. Try doing that with a brand name company and see where it takes ya!

I only wish I came here earlier. I do believe I am making my purchase from someone that understands the game and specs needed to play it.

TilDeath, I do belieev I will be making that call to you this week. Thank you for your quick replies already.

You must be a youngster - I was building PC's when power users actually got 2 single sided floppy drives (160 KB), rather than the one it came with standard so they didn't have to do the floppy shuffle - and opted for an add-in memory card or three to bring it up to a max of 256 KB from the 64 KB it came with. (Note the KB, not MB). Up until the XT came out that is, in which case you could get a 10 MB hard disk.

I remember when u could use a regular cassette and a cassete player to save your programs, and they had a blazing 256k ram, no hard drive, and the mouse was something you caught with a trap.

Guncrasher,

Was it a Trash 80 by any chance? My first flight simulator was the Sublogic sim with B&W wire frame graphics on a TRS80 model III. We've come a long way (and gotten a lot older.)
