Building a Computer from the rubberry peg thingies up.
« on: April 21, 2003, 12:15:33 PM »

Not too long ago my skills were requested by the parental untis to construct a God of God's computer. At first my head turned to Alienware, however in a rather sudden decision it becamse clear that a pile of old plastic would cost roughly three thousand dollars from Alienware. Needless to say that the little rubbery peg thingies, or feet, would cost another three grand. So i decided to move into the world of liquid cooled computers and the like, unfourtanetly i dont know of a good place to find a decent motherboard for a good price, or memory for that matter. However i already found an amazing case. So now i am here consulting the all mighty intelligence of the many brains of the Geekery, so if you know of anywhere drop me a line.

Funny you just brought this up, DeCOY. I just bought this motherboard, these processors and 512 megs of pc2100 DDRRAM to go with it.

It was all for the price of 431 dollars.

If you want to get computer stuff for decent prices, go to Newegg.com. It's what I use for most of my stuff.

On a totally unrelated note to the subject of this topic, other than the fact it pertains to the use of my new computer. I am looking for some software, hopefully free software, that can allow me to create flash videos and or games and toons that run through flash.
