ehh, im in america, where all the fat, lazy, jackasses live, or wanna live. But not everyone here is like that, i assure u. it just that some pre-made computers aren't always really as good as they cost, just like the name-brand makes it expensive.

Some is true, where I work at, there are the ppl that have the office jobs and they are like fat and do nothing on their desks, only to chat with their co-workers and hit the lunch room every 15 min, the same gang everyday.....I have to bust my ass and 3 others and deliver the stuff they print out which takes 2 min to do........ Fuckards........

 

[Elessar]

yeah, some get easy, high-paying jobs, while others get hard, low-paying jobs, and various mixtures of both for everyone else.

I never buy pre made computers or combo packs or wotever u call them, i allways buy peace by peace in diferent stores cause thats the way u can get the lowest prices, when i say diferent stores i'm talking bout the retaliers the only problem
is that the peices don't come at the same time lool =\

thats always the way with computers ><

 

[Elessar]

lol, yeah u buy the MOST up-tp-date stuff for like $600 a-piece, then about a month later NEWER, BETTER parts come out, and all the stuff u JUST bought cost like $200, only the ppl with a lot of spare money can afford to always have the best computer. and i dont really think the computer in the link above is the BEST out there to make, but it will get the job done, without screwing up.

 

[Masami]

i started out with a junk shit pieace of comp nowadays i always upgrade it with new parts i buy

 

[ZeroCaliber]
