Plus plenty of mods... PSU case, fan grills, some more glowiness (LEDs coating every possible surface of my PC?), Lazer LED setup, some LEDs in the speakers, even.

Total cost (when I'm done): $6.5 Billion

Piccies of final product to come when I assemble her sometime this week... :cool: (I'm a loser and I know it, but so is anyone else who posts on online message boards about a 5-years dead TV show. Respect my baby. :mad: )

    Congrats!

    a new pc is just so wonderful
  • the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
    I DLed and watched that 60Mb HL2 video, and was inexplicably filled with the desire to get a new PC... my current one's vid card is a frickin' TNT2.

    Nice fast computers are good. :) I have it even better now, I can have a nice fast computer with me wherever I go.
  • the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
    But does it have blue shiny/sparkliness? I thought not. When I'm done, I will have at least $100 worth of blue light on my PC. Cathodes, fans, LEDs, Lazer LEDs, that crazy wire stuff, etc. :D

    If you think guns make "dakka" noises, then teaching you to play CS will be more difficult than I thought... :p

    In any case, if you have AIM/MSNIM/YIM/ICQ, PM me your SN, and I'll give ya a message.

    Nope, and for that I am glad. I never understood the motivation for making cases glow bright enough to light a room. It seems pointless, a waste of electricity (and thus money), and also distracting for when I'm watching DVDs or trying to get to sleep.

    JEALOUSSSSSSS! :D Heh, yeah, my comprende that, but I don't leave my PC on at night, I watch movies on my TV, and I don't leave it on at night, as it's a bit noisy, so I don't anticipate any problems
  • the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
    Saturday Saturday SATURDAY!!

    Ok, so it works better with Sunday, but that's when I'm building my PC, along with the help of a man named "Skeeter" (And no he has never acted in a cartoon). And what the heck is this "Sunday Sunday SUNDAY!" thing about? It was from like [URL=www.penny-arcade.com]Penny Arcade[/URL] or [URL=www.ctraltdelonline.com]Ctrl Alt Del[/URL] or something. Answer the question and win a prize, cuz it's driving me crazy.

    Hey, that was the easiest way I could simulate gunshots. ;)

    Anyway, I only have AIM. My screename is "Morden279" oddly enough. Drop me PM sometime.

    The "sunday sunday sunday" thing sounds familiar. Can't place it though.

    SUNDAY SUNDAY! [i]SOMEDAY![/i]

  • the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
    No, it was definetely [i]written[/i] in some comical... thing. And the way it was said was odd... a normal sentence, then all of a sudden "Sunday Sunday SUNDAY", followed by a normal ending, something along the lines of "I could" or "I should". I have no idea why I am remembering it.

    [Edit]I did a Google search, and the number of EZboards and Blogs using the.. phrase I guess, but I can't find what I'm looking for. It's the kind of site/thing where some guy writes humorous stuff in a seirous tone and... I can't describe my vague recollections of whatever I'm thinking off.

    I've always heard "sunday etc" in relation to monster truck shows on the radio.

    "Truckzilla is coming to the MegaDome this [SIZE=3]Sunday![/SIZE] [SIZE=4]Sunday![/SIZE] [SIZE=5]Sunday![/SIZE]"
  • the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
    Well maybe you should split into search parties, divide up the internet (it was definetely online), and start reading. :)

    That's probably it. Both Homestarrunner.com and the thing you're thinking of have parodied the phrase.

    Nononono, just the way it was said, it was funny... it wasn't like it at all. I know I'm mumbling jibberish, so I think I'll just give up and cry. I can always vent my frustrations at you through my USP .45 Tactical tonight, Morden. :D

    Well yeah, that may be true, but my tactical knowledge will win through. (Have [i]you[/i] read "Inside Delta Force"? Didn't think so...) :p

    Unfortunately, CS is far from real life in many ways... aiming a gun is much different from aiming a mouse. I am the greater geek, I think I win :D

    Bloody hell, I don't know why you talked me into this online-gaming lark...

    The_exile, I'm cocked, locked and ready to rock. Just drop me a PM when you are and take me through signing on.

    Morden
  • the_exilethe_exile Kupo!
    I am ready anytime. If I'm on my PC, I'm on AIM, so I'll see you. I need to boost my stats, anyways... 10 fps kinda ruins the game (until SATURDAY :D)

    UPDATE: I'm going to shake my baby to death if she doesn't start working.

    Got it working for now, my only problem is getting used to a 1024 x 768 desktop, and the blistering speed. It's... weird to not lag in Counter-Strike; after playing it so much with less than 20 fps, I learned just how much I had to lead to catch where the person really was... and now everything works at 100 fps. I miss the comfort and security of my slow and crappy HP! :D
