Like many of you, I’ve never met Bob in person. He’s been there for as long as I can remember. He played a big part in making this community fun and interesting. And I can’t bring myself to believe anyone would make a joke of such a horrible thing. It’s a shocking thing for someone so young. It makes you (and rightly so) re-evaluate certain things in your life.

I don’t quite understand what Fat is talking about but I was poking around the website and accidentally had myself ordained. I hit undo, but nothing happened.

Yikes.

Scud rox. Bank is cool too.

The 9700 Pro graphics look better than the GF4s. Its easily the better card. But there’s a huge difference in price. If you got a GF4ti4400 you could probably upgrade your processor with the xtra cash.

d00d! Can I call and ask for you?

I don’t build machines for the low price. I could never expect to compete with the quantity deals big resellers get. I get a better, faster machine because I can handpick each part. Plus it’s easy to upgrade. If something breaks, I replace it. Every new part I’ve ever bought came with at least a year warranty (AMD processors come with a 3 year warranty). I’ve had many more problems with Dell’s than the machines I build (including some really dumb quality control issues). Dell’s service is great if you can’t troubleshoot your own machine. But I’ve wasted many frustrating hours on the phone with Dell techs as they page through their troubleshooting binders while I try to tell them what the problem is.

Stinger, I think you mean you laughed your "donkey's" off. That site is right up there with mytrailerpark.com <== Real Ninja (free time is spent flying, but sometime they stab)

H.Q. is gone.

Dell uses proprietary power supplies too. They also cheese out in other ways. If all you do is surf the web, email, and IM; name brand computers are for you. If you do anything that requires performance or you want to be able to customize/upgrade you need to build you own box. Its actually very easy and cheap these days. You really don’t have to worry about having to set dip-switches, IRQ’s, and configure hardware manually anymore. The best thing to do if you don’t know what hardware to buy is to read reviews at a place like Tom's Hardware. There's plenty of info on the web on building systems. Click here for info on an emachines replacement power supply. Cane is right on the $ with his first post. You should be able to get a case and power supply for around $50.

That’s a whole lotta wings... or Chuck looks pretty bad without his makeup... you pick.

lol. For those that bought the 4-disc Special Edition DVD its on there too. It's kinda hidden though.

Ok, DJ you’ve thoroughly confuzzled me.
