Three Weeks or Five Weeks Until I Build My PC!

[TxShadow]

Man waiting sucks, especially when your finally, after so long, close to your goal.

 

I'll have over $1,700 in three weeks. If I do something else, an additonal $105 may be added, requiring two more weeks to equal five weeks.

 

Or, if I am able to do somthing else, I can get an additional $500, meaning that there would be no more waiting, in three weeks I could purchase my PC!

 

Man, years of never having my "own personal PC" has sucked. I'm now going to be able to game like there is no tomorrow, aside of college studies, work, and my personal life of course. Even still, much more time than the pathetic nothing I am getting now.

 

PC Specs:

 

AMD Athlon 4000+

2GB Corsair XMS High Performance RAM (changed it from Kingston, too pricey)

Nvidia 7800 GT 256MB PCI Express

Asus 8AN SLI nForce 4 motherboard (for future SLI video)

Super Alien See-Thru 500watt PSU

Turbo X-Dreamer II Case

Microsoft Intelli Optical Mouse

 

The main specs. I still do not decided on a good monitor. Any suggestions for a good monitor?

 

And this keyboard I want to order, it'll go with the blue LED's that will be all over my case, inside and out.

man that keyboard cool and i know about waiting it does suck but then if i've got that as a prize i'd wait.

I've waited a few years already; so I'm worn down of the wait.

 

But this week, I've worked over 44 hours (over time! [more pay on overtime hours than regular]), and next week I work around 50 hours.

 

The $400 is now avaliable to me that wasent, so... things are looking pretty sweet. I might be able to get the PC even sooner than expected! But of course, I do need to add in the costs of a PC desk, and a router to give me some of our high speed internet.

so Txshadow what do you use if you don't have a personal pc?

but wow do you work all the time when do you sleep?

[TxShadow]

I'm working over 40+ hours a week right now for a month (while out from college). Then its back to part-time.

 

I'm using the family PC right now (mentioned in a previous topic), which I get about 30 minutes to an hour to use every two days since my father is obssessed with eBay.

 

I used to get all the time I wanted, but now, hes ALWAYS on.

 

Why I'm getting "my own" very soon.

lol know how you feel i have to use the family pc for the internet (they won't let me have it on my pc). but i get about 4-5 hours a week on here otherwise my dad or brothers on here.

Got some nice over-time this week (regular pay, plus half of it, plus the extra hours). Tomorrow starts a new week, but I'll be getting as much if not more overtime (5-10 hours) this week.

 

I should have my PC even sooner with this un-anticipated cash. Plus, the Christmas money could easily be $100 more than anticipated, pushing me even closer to my absoloute goal!

 

Man, the excitement and reality of it is starting to set it... at last, I am about to finally get what I have waited over five years for... its almost driving me nuts!

Calm down you could have a heart attack from the excitement.
