Agallion Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Well ok my parents just got really pissed at me for almost no real good reason (they said my grades but they are better then last term if you look at th gpa points <_<) so they took my tower away and are currently in Las Vegas leaving me here alone. So im stuck here using this POS 598mhz Dell with a really..god awful horrible packard bell mouse(im talking like it kinda moves if i move its 2 feet) so im talking to a buddy and he says he can sell me a 1400+, onboard sound and video, 256 RAM, case, psu, 60 gig hdd all for $175 now i have a spare 2400+ around here and im not quite sure if itll fit in that mobo..also i only have 360 bucks and that needs to last me the rest of this semister until summer so i can find a job (btw in 17 and in HS still) so ya i dont know what to do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_C Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 ok i don't tbhink i would spend the money to gbuy a whole new computer that they would probably take as soon as they get back from vegas. and u wouldn't be able to do much more thant what ur doing on that comp video game wise because of onboard video. ok and here is my litte vent. i think its kind stupid how everyone is using still being in high school and being 15-17 as an excuse not to have a job. i had a job when i was a freshman yes i could only work weekends at 13 or 14 but as soon as u turn 16 u can work anytime until midnight here. i just think its stupid how people are using that as an excuse. my little vetn for the day.

Eva_Unit_0 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 A 1400+? AMD never made one of those...anyway, I wouldn't buy that older stuff, especially if you say you've only got $360 until summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost2520 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I'm with you Sly C, I'm going to be getting a job hopefully by the end of February because right now I really don't have time. I have 3 and possibly a 4th projects due just next week alone... all my teachers have crammed their work for the end of the semester. As soon as the semester ends though I will be out and about searching for a job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigred Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I also worked at 13. however I had to cut back to just the off season durring the spring and fall sports rush (I was working my way towards a nice athletic scholarship for either football or baseball... though I was also doing cross country in the fall and track in the spring... dumb things like trashed knees and tons of pain killers ended that dream). Heck practice from 6-8am, school from 8-3, and back to practice sometimes as late as 9pm is a rough day. I don't know anyone that can do a job when they're working thier asses off that much in one day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Well, think about it this way, if you were my kid and got those things when I took away your other computer.............. I'd take those away as well....... and for twice as long. Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
