Computer you wish you had but don't have the money for

[Christopher]

As the title reads

I made this list up in hopes it could be a Christmas/Birthday for the next 3 years present

Not even sure the parts are all compatable, meh, I'll look over it later.

(Don't make fun of my case I needed something cheap )

That sounds like a reasonable request to Santa Claus,
Im not greedy either, id settle for the second cheapest laptop I could find in Australia

I could get one for $999 here, but it had pretty low end stuff =/

Why do you need a 52x CD-ROM when you already have a DVD player and a CD-Burner?

Plus I would get one 512 stick of RAM. It would be cheaper and easier to upgrade later on since you still have a slot open.

// edit. nevermind, I always thought they were slower. Time to update the list

It's dual-channel.

I thought they stopped doing that with SIMM?

tad expensive innit.. tell you what.. tell your parents to come to Asia for a shopping spree for XMas.. and no, we don't have SARS here

 

[AainaalyaA]

and.... Cathay Pacific and Malaysian Airways are having specials so its really cheap to fly now, and while you're at it you might want to stopover and visit Ian and SuZ

lol A $1100 computer turns into a flight around the world

 

[cptnwinky]

Hey I can dig it.

 

[Christopher]

lol Me too

 

[zkiller]

believe it or not, but i would preffer the flight around the world over the computer.

however, i have the computer i want, but it's not done yet. it's a work in progress.

 

[AainaalyaA]

Dell's latest offering is pretty good too... but I'd opt out for IBM anytime.. or maybe an SGI... this one is pretty neat..

 

[AainaalyaA]

and yeah.. like Z, I'd opt for many trips around the globe.. even if i have to crawl

 

[Christopher]

I'd go for a trip around the world, as long as I had a laptop and a cellphone and an internet connection.

 

[AainaalyaA]

what would you do by being wired? surely there must be more to "life" in your world than being wired... you're an intelligent being.. not some slave to machines.. or are you?

 

[zkiller]

i don't access the internet when on a real vacation unless the opportunity is presented to me to check my email, but even then, that is all i do.

 

[AainaalyaA]

everything just blanks out when i'm on a vacation... i don't even have this cold-turkey feeling when i pass a cyber cafe, or a pc or even anything techie... i must be getting over the "wired" syndrome...

 

[zkiller]

neither do i. *shrug*

 

[ian]

I would choose the trip around the world as well, mainly because it would get me out of work.
