So, things have been slow around here

Yeah, it's Enllight case with a 340w PS. He is either re-using the old monitor or buying a new one. Basically, they don't game but the do plan to scan in and play with images. We owe him one, so my labor is free. This is what $850 gets:

Asus A7V26E (w/onboard sound)
ATI Radeon 7500 64 MB
Intel V.90 modem
Athlon XP 2000+
512 MB PC2100 RAM
WD 80 Gig HD
DVD-ROM
40X16X40 CDRW
Licensed Win XP Home

heh... thats more scratch than I have right now. Is this for the sgt across the street?

 

[HomeLAN]

Yep. That family's given enough toys to Ted that I'm comfy forgiving my usual $75 fee on this one.

 

[Luis G]

he could save a few bucks by installing "another version" of XP, although, he might want to be on the legal side all the time.

 

[HomeLAN]

He's not going to do that if I'm building the system.

 

[Justintime]

yup same policy here, no warez even on a friends build, sorry, he can do whatever after, but my builds are licensed and legit, my own i can do whatever too

 

[HomeLAN]

Yeah, that's pretty much my attitude.

 

[Luis G]

yeap, i thought of that, anyway, you can give him "the build" without software

 

[HomeLAN]

I could, but since he's only mildly computer literate, it would end up being a nice, beige end table.

Couldn't sell him on a nice copy of W98?

 

[HomeLAN]

Nope. He read some propoganda from Adobe saying how wonderful XP is, and decided he HAD to have it.

Shame, too. I've got 3 licensed unopened copies of 98 in my basement.
