I'm upgrading my computer holy shit

[The artist formally known]

Once you see the new specs of my new computer I'm buying, you'll shit bricks.

I just wish I knew more about TV cards  (I'm setting up a Tivo rip off)



Also, can someone fill me in on DIV cables a little bit? What do they look like? I'm replacing our carpet in my room, my bathroom, and hopefully my brothers room. It's really really hard work, but I get paid like crazy.

If only..




No really. I don't know what ANY of that does!

How the hell do you get so much money? Drugs? Sex? Actual job?
As for cords, I wouldn't know.

I don't have the money yet, It's about $300 for me to replace the carpet with wood flooring in one room, professionally it would cost about $500 if you got a professional to do it. I've already replaced some to pay for my 360.

I wish I could get jobs like you, Reaper. That's awesome.

Lulz, gay cables. awesome;

Anyways, it looks pretty good. I'd have gotten 2GB of RAM, but whatever.

Meh, I don't see why you really need the Tivo thing, but whatever. Do you have to walk downstairs to watch TV or something?

It's cool being able to watch your shows later whenever you want to.

I'll get the other 1gb later, the computer that I listed is very powerful and costs me a shit load anyways.

Most expensive thing I've ever actually started to save up for.

Tivo? No, I just would like to be able to record shows onto my computer and pause them and crap.

I used to torrent tv shows for this reason but I'd rather not torrent them because it's illegal.

All I need now is a DVI-I -> DVI-D/VGA splitter cable and then the money  caterpie;

Not bad. You should get a processor that is known to work with x86 so you may dual boot Windows and OS X; at least, that's what I'd do.

[Pancake Paraphernalia]

woah that's alot of $$$ all together.

Linux is for elitist bastards.

I don't mind Mac much, but I still wouldn't use it.

Linux is for elitist bastards.

Linux is for people that know how to use a computer.

Thanks for proving it.
