I really doubt it, unless you want a "Do it yourself" 2 GHz HP machine without the RAM, or a 4x DVD ROM, etc...

Or maybe you would? I mean, I always figured I'd be able to use that ***, so maybe someone out there actually could LOL


lol you'd be surprised ^_^

Same thing I use my current one for: Music, games, docs, pics, internet, other random stuff.

Sadly the one I have now is 7+ years old and on its last leg. Believe me when I say almost anything you get will be like night and day in comparison to what I'm using, so even the cheapest of the cheap would be great, I just wanna make it fit within my budget as much as possible.

Just put it up on Craigslist for some cash. There's always people looking for your (not really meaning you) junk. Crap I get rid of a lot of stuff for some bills. Now to coax the wife to sell or donate my daughter's old toys.

lol... Even if I npc all the stuff I've bought and buy new gear, it's still only 600k-1 mil that I've spent on it. XD Last night for example... I made 3 mil. Sooo... 600k is a drop in the bucket.

I have no desire to get a laptop =/
I rather get the most of my desk, stereo speakers and overall duration of life in my system.

Besides, I don't have $800-1k lying around nor do I have the patience to assemble that much. Just trying to get by these days, so it's shocking I even have the time and money to get myself a new PC.

Wish I could make that much on a regular basis. I feel rich just for having 1.4m ._.

I'm assuming you take full advantage of sky/sea/ENM/Dynamis drops?

Yeah, I'm the main sponsor for my shell. Only have 2 other people that even show interest in sponsoring from time to time. So, I either sponsor 1 run per week or both, depending on whether they sign up or not.

Hell no...so you can never upgrade the thing? Not that having a laptop is a bad thing, but it'll never be a true desktop replacement, at least, not for me. Not til one can actually work on them themselves...

I assume you aren't allergic?? We always keep Epi Pens in our house just in case of that ***...

I got stung by a hornet once on the side of my face while I was 20 feet in the air on a ladder painting this dudes house...thought I was going down for sure, started getting tunnel vision, but it was prolly just adrenaline...I just held on tight and then climbed down real slow...

Well, get an Epi Pen or something! What are you doing here?!

Maybe it's not that serious for you, but my ex g/f's throat used to close up and ***, so Epi Pen was a must with her, why I always keep one on me now...

*Shrugs.* Much better to get a laptop with a good processor/ram and then upgrade the video later on imo.

Or... 2-3 years after you buy the laptop, you get a new one like I'm doing for FFXIV. Computers upgrade rapidly and the costs are pretty low. It's not like it used to be where it was much cheaper to do a couple of upgrades than get a new computer entirely.

A girl here at work has one, if i get any worse I'll use it. I dont feel my throat closing, just a bit dizzy and head a lil hot now. I think i'll be ok for now.

/RAGE!

My stepfather ignores my advice about building his own PC, and instead buys some pre-built ***. After a few years the whole thing goes south and *** up on them. Then they go to some Jew who runs this PC builder warehouse business and continuously rapes it even more so they spend more (of my) money to help fix it, only to have it come back *** up worse than before every time.

Pardon my stereotyping but in all honesty, this is no different than what mechanics do. Sabotaging your car so something else will *** up and you're forced to come back and pay more to fix that problem, wash, rinse, repeat ~_~

I dunno, in my experience selling computers, it was always cheaper just to build your own tower, especially since so many components are good for long periods of time, like monitor, optical drives, peripherals, speakers, and in a lot of cases, the case itself, sound card (for those that don't use onboard), third party cards like wireless adaptors, hard drives in a lot of cases etc...

All that ***can be carried over from one build to the next, leaving you with just the mobo, processor, ram, and video card(s) you really need to buy new with each new computer. Much more bang for your buck there then dropping the equivalent amount on a laptop where you're basically paying for all that ***again. Besides, I never saw a laptop that was worth a ***at all for less then 1,200 bucks, ESPECIALLY one that could actually run games for ***...

But, to each their own...I'm just kinda anti laptop, such a PITA with the cards, batteries dying, etc...

Last time I built my own, it was only ~$400 since I had all the goodies to roll over to the next build. I didn't go with all the uber stuff, but something that'll run my games decent.
