Title: The new system is on order...
Post by: AKDejaVu on May 29, 2002, 01:00:15 PM
I accedently sold the wife's computer and let her go without one for about 4 months now.  She finally snapped and told me to buy a new computer for myself and give her my old one.

Then I snapped...

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 Processor 2.53GHz 533MHz FSB w/512KB Cache
Motherboard: Intel D850EMV2 Motherboard w/1AGP/5PCI RDRAM
Memory: 512MB RDRAM PC-1066
HD: 120GB Western Digital UltraATA 7200RPM 8MB Cache
Power Supply: Enermax EG651P-VE 550 Watt Power Supply
Vid Card: NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 w/128MB (Dual Monitor)
Vid Cooling: KoolMaxx Video Cooling System
Sound Card: SoundBlaster Audigy 5.1 Gamer
CD/DVD: PlexCombo 20/10/40-12A CD-RW/DVD-ROM
Modem: US Robotics V.90 56k Internal Voice/Fax/Data (most likely to be removed)
NIC: Intel PRO/100 S Desktop Adapter
OS: XP Pro

I've never spent this much on a PC before.  I can hardly wait.

Snapped = "gee honey, i can hardly ever get on the computer any more since you sold mine and you're always on yours.  You should buy me a new one, don't you think?"


"Buy new bad-assed computer for self and give wife my old computer..."
"Yes dear, you do need a new computer!  I'm going to get right on that.  Aren't I a great husband! muhahahaha!"

I hate you, and I hope your new computer is stolen and stripped for parts!

PS...Holy toejame-on-a-stick!  Plextor has FINALLY produced a DVD-ROM drive; now if only they'd get their arses in gear and get the SCSI version out the door.

I came to my senses though and dented my CC a few K less.  :)

Hmmm... Does kinda sound like an Alienware.  I am sorry I recommended Alienware in the past.  Yesterday they refused to honor my ONSITE warranty and said I would have to send it to them for a mb replacement.  Only reason I bought from Alienware was ONSITE service-even paid for 3 year plan. The fight isn't over yet!  They will fix it ONSITE, take it back for a refund or meet my attorney.  Good luck with your new system.

They're still building it Funked... But that doesn't stop me from checking every 5 minutes on its status;)  I expect it in about 10 days.

I guess Alienware took me seriously because they are shipping my new mb and a local tech will be coming to my house to install it.

And thus, my computer is no more the best in here, and has become obsolete.

Not only have we included our secret "Ho-Chi-Min" tunnels on our...er, AH's new pizza map, but HT was so impressed with our work, he bought us all new computer upgrades of our choice.
We are currently negotiating free life-time accounts on AH as well.

Behold....the power of pizza.........
