July 4, 200618 yr Author still waiting on some pics Pokey <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, yeah, I know! They're coming I promise, I promise, I promise! It just might be a week or two. It's pretty cool with a dual-core proc, because in Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) under the Performance tab, it shows two separate CPU graphs! I got a kick out of that!
July 4, 200618 yr Yeah, yeah, I know! They're coming I promise, I promise, I promise! It just might be a week or two. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *sigh* yeah, yeah, I know...3 weeks when your honey gets back. :sick:
July 4, 200618 yr Author *sigh* yeah, yeah, I know...3 weeks when your honey gets back. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah, well, I'll see if I can borrow my friend's camera before she gets back. His is a 5 MP, and my baby's is only a 3 MP.
July 4, 200618 yr Man, I gotta build me one of those If you don't mind me asking, how much did this set you back? Cheers :lol:
July 5, 200618 yr Author Man, I gotta build me one of those If you don't mind me asking, how much did this set you back? Cheers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Um... a lot. Around $3k altogether... needless to say, I won't be making another one like this for quite a while!

Well, looks like I'll be sticking with my boat anchor for a while yet still...... Cheers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well... you could always try baking her a cake. See, I gave my baby my notebook after I built the desktop, so she didn't even care about what I spent, since she got a free computer out of the deal. Now you know my secret! :lol:

Now you know my secret! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Errrrmm, that 'secret' is no good to me as I already offload my old system to her when I upgrade. And seeing she's partially computer savvy, and ultimatum was handed down that the next upgrade goes to her..... ::deep dramatic sigh:: Going to have to invest in some Lotto tickets Cheers :P
July 6, 200618 yr Around $3k altogether... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> wow... that would be close to 5000$SGD :sick:
July 6, 200618 yr Around $3k altogether... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> wow... that would be close to 5000$SGD <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Errrk! Didn't even think of the currency conversion. Damnit, that'd cost me $4100AUD.... Oh well, so much for that idea. Now, where did I put that Lotto ticket?..... Cheers :sick:
