Josh'll probably charge like 500 and hour for the labor so he can get the things on his "to buy list" My "To buy" list is way cooler. (and way more impossible at my salary.) Flat LCD monitor so I can have two monitors Projector to act as third monitor Surround Sound T-1 line Three more 80GB harddrives aaaaand one of those cool cases with windows and neon lights on it.

Umm is it too late for me to mooch off of this thread and get a free hand out too? And doncha have the World Store Josh? Just report the inventory as "lost in shipping" or something and blame the shipping company.
Soo.... any plans for your OLD computer??? I could take it off your hands if it's just gathering dust....
... and do what with them, exactly? Because I had about three laying around the house, one of them I gave away just recently.
Well my friend wanted to teach me how to turn an older computer into a server just to serve files for a web project we're hoping to be working on. I'm supposed to be learning Flash and XML... I'm still not completely sure myself what exactly I'd need to do that but I'd like to try!
You can always go buy used and old computers at those small computer shops. They have tons of those lying around. Pretty cheap too.
I've heard that the Goodwill store around my area has a computer section of some sort, I might try looking around there sometime... but I doubt I could find anything "new" enough play sims on as the backup game computer.... in case I couldn't get the server thing to work out.... oh well.
