So I said to my pencil the other day
Heya folks.
Long story short, my laptop is sucking balls. The screen's flickering, it doesn't shut down, and it lags and freezes when just sitting. After doing the computer dance (defrag/virus scan/spyware... etc etc) it's still acting up.
Toshiba quoted me $900 in repairs not covered by their warranty and a turn around time of 3-4 business weeks.
However, for $1600 Canadian, this is after taxes and shipping, I can get the following from #
19" LCD Montior widescreen
AMD X2 3800+
Asus A8N-SLI SE
2GB (2x1024mb)
256mb GeForce 7900 GS Extreme
80GB Western Digital 7200
Windows XP Pro
NEC Super duper ROM-a-ma-bob (DVD/CD ROM/Burner)
Midsize case with a 600w SLI ready PSU
Better heat sink.
Got my credit card sorted out, ordered the computer as of 05/07/2007, total bill was $1450. Now to just get those commissions done to soften the blow :) Thanks everyone
Tis a monster, tisn't the greatest nor the cheapest. It's the solution I'm looking at though, I spent $800 on this laptop and it's crapping out before it's a year old. So I figure I might as well invest into a modestly powerful system that will last a while and give me further freedom when it comes to art.
Having to wait 20 seconds for GIMP to do some basic jobs is teh lame. It's really silly to be honest, even OC is starting to lag, online and offline.
Why am I bringing this up? Well I want to bring out the budget commissions to soften the blow to my wallet.
I'm offering Quick & Solid commissions. Done via OC, I'm more interested in raw quantity then actual money made per commission.
These are single character prices
$10 - Quick Commission
- Along the lines of http://www.furaffinity.net/view/527939/ & http://www.furaffinity.net/view/528034/
$15 - Solid Commission
- Along the lines of http://www.furaffinity.net/view/523102/ & http://www.furaffinity.net/view/527338/
Additional characters are a flat rate of $5 a piece in either situation
Word of mouth really helps, so if you can let others know about the cheap deals happening, would be muchly appreciated.
Take it easy folks
