    Dude... I'm getting a Dell...
    I am tired of buying defective computer parts off the internet, I refuse to pay twice as much for them at the store. So I decided to give up on building the computer, and just buy one. Here is the story. I broke my monitor a few days ago. I got me a new wireless card (Dlink) and new CDRW, and I go to hook it up. When i plugged in the mointor, I didn't plug the cable in straight, and I ended up breaking off one of the pins... inside the monitor port!. I tried to get it out, and ended up fucking up the holes big time. Well now the computer is shot. I needed a new computer. I seen in the circuitcity sale paper, a new Emachines computer with printer, monitor, system, Etc for $939.99 and $300 Mail in rebate. I go to my rich uncle mark and hit him up for money, but says no, because I would turn into "The Boy", which is an awful thing to say, since he is a murderer (He is the reason my grandma is dead) and a drug addict. So I basically said Fuck Mark to him over the phone, and I guess he wants nothing to do with me now either. So then I talked my mom into letting me use her credit card to buy the cheapest dell computer advertised on their site, which was a Dimension 2400. I even customized it to make it cheaper (Took out some BS features that I already have like mouse, printer Etc). So I get the thing for like $449 plus $99 shipping (Hey it is supposed to be like 5 huge boxes) and tax and total it came to like 556.90 or something. I know it isn't the very best computer, but it will have to do, at least for now. Basically I said that the only thing I'll use it for it to surf the net and download music and crap. I won't be playing many games on it, because I really hate computer games (The heaviest game will be Warcraft III, which is a few years old already). But I have a 2.4 GHZ Celeron CPU, and 256MB DDR, 48X CDRW and 16X DVD ROM, and I am happy with that. I really don't need a P4 500 GHZ with hyper Threading Technology, because that is used for heavy games. Besides I have an Xbox and the better PC games go to The Box anyway and vice versa. So what the hell do I need a super computer for anyway, right?
