Geeking out

[bubosquared]

I've decided I need a new computer. Not soon, but within this and the next year or so. Basically, anything I save beyond the € 2,000 for my New Year's Resolution is going to go towards a new computer. That'll give me roughly € 1,600 - € 2,600, plus whatever I can get for my old computer.

So I'm now browsing through sites and stuff, trying to gauge what the requirements would be for something like Everquest, because apparently I'm looking to become a gamer. *facepalm*

Right now, I'm looking at about € 2,200 including taxes, if I get a nice Dell, with a 15" flatscreen monitor, a (small) digicam and a combination printer/fax/scanner, actual legal software, a 2.8 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM, a surge protector (always a good thing, or so I learned after my TV got lightninged to death), actual guarantee, and a 120 GB Hard Disk, all wrapped up in one fo those nice, sleek, black Dell cases. I'm thinking that'd be a pretty good deal. And a lot of motivation to save a lot of money. :D

And I'm sure all of the above was of no interest to any of you. Sorry?

Hee! My aunt bought my brother a whole box of NES games at the auction (there's this auction that she goes to and buys weird shit) for Christmas. He's been beating varying versions of Mario before he leaves the house.
