Free computer parts are awesome.
17 years ago
So my friend upgraded his video card to some new ATI thingy and I asked him what he was doing with his old one because I'm building a new computer for myself. He said he wasn't sure and the rest of the conversation went like this:
Me: "So how much you want for it?"
Him: "Hunh? Oh. You can just have it."
Me: "...what?"
Him: "Yeah, just take it. I was just going to toss it anyway."
Me: "Wait, it still works, right?"
Him: "Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it."
Me: "Then... why... never mind. Thanks!"
Yeah, free computer parts are awesome.
So far I've got the case, bought 2 GB of RAM because it was on ridiculous sale at Best Buy, and now I've got the video card. I've already got my 32" LCD 720p TV that I'm going to use for the monitor, Logitech G15 keyboard, Logitech MX Revolution mouse, and Logitech x-540 5.1 Surround Sound speakers. So all I need to get this bad boy 100% operational is a motherboard, cpu, psu, hdd, and disc drive.
I think I'm going to compile this into a large project status journal footer after this.
