Just wondering why you all chipped in to buy him that expensive of a computer, when you dont even have one as good as that yourself...
Because well here:
1) He has chipped in on 2 other peoples computers which = $400 from him.
2) He's my best friend and a good friend to all the people who chipped in.
3)He just got married 2 weeks ago to a girl we are all really close to.
4) It's his birthday so it's his "turn"
5) I can buy any video card I want anytime but don't need to. Also my computer is still pretty good. Actually if I added the same Video card it would be better imho.
I also just gave away my AMD 64 3200, 300GB HD, 6800GT 256mb,
2GB Corsair Ram, ABIT KN8, DVD R/W, 500W SLI PSU to another friend with a 19" Samsung LCD. I even bought Company of Heroes and Rainbow Six Vegas to put on it for him so he can play games with us. He also threw in $200 for Vince's computer and his bday is coming up so we hooked him up early. He didn't get a new build because he's not a gamer and this is more than enough for right now. He currently has an XP1800 w/256mb ram and a Geforce 3 mx440.
I do this because life is not about "me". I have great friends who are like a family to me. I do a lot for them and they do a lot for me. But mainly they make my life the awesome one that it is. I trust them. I hope you all have friends like that and if not that you meet some. Merry Christmas all and be nice to people because somehow we're all related and yes we're even related to the dumb ones
