Willow, I generally get my computers custom built as well. It's not really much more expensive and you can get exactly what you need. And as iimportant, not get what you don't. :D

Its true. I used to build all my computers from parts found at computer shows. It works equally well to just buy it part by part on Newegg or TigerDirect tho. And assembling a PC is easy-peazy, as long as everything is compatible

I'm not comfortable doing that. Luckily, my nephew is. And I love Newegg!

My daughternlaw has a friend that builds computers and he gets stuff from newegg, only problem is that she and he talked about it thru fb the other day and he hasn't been back on and answered her about building me one. I'm on a strick budget 600-700 and I want at least a 1tb hd, best graphics card that I can get and several fans and windows 7 (one that's easiest for gaming computer forget the name). I have my fingers crossed that either he contacts her or the computer store will do me a good deal.

I know how to replace stuff in a computer but have never built one from the base up. Wish I could.

You can get a computer that will play just about everything for that money, especially if you can reuse some parts. Like case, display, power supply, keyboard, mouse, optical drive. If you aren't looking to play the most intense games in absolute max settings a working gaming pc isn't that much.

DW im so sorry to hear your in pain. I lost my aunt to that stuff. But thought id share something that used to help her with the burns as well. She would sit in a luke warm bath to relieve the pain and if the water needed to be a bit cooler add ice. Hope that helps with the pain. /hugs and best wishes

Mailbox had surprises for me yesterday & today. Hooray! The plasma. . .oh plasma. . .such an unassuming pinkish thing in dim light, then

BAM!

with the movement and shapes. KAPOW! Wish I could do my trippies justice by taking awesome photos; we'll make do with these and the site's photo for plasma since I can't quite get a pic of its glory.

I have no idea at all how folks can pick their favorites. Every trippy mail I receive is just so delightfully delish!

P.S. If anyone might know of the "name"/style of the blue/green donut or maybe the artist, please do tell!

I haven't yet found a shape I didn't love! I've got a couple of peanuts on their way; testing to continue! (there's a special place in my heart for teensie donuts, though, I gotta say). :wub:

Now, Bert's site is great for me being able to find info on tips -- it's the resellers' sites where I can't find the info (it's where that little blue/greenie came from). I peeked at so many pics on the page of Bert's site where "old"/sold tips were posted, but this little one's so elusive. Tried a couple of image search engines; no joy there, either. More ideas, Delilah & all?

I'm thinking my old computer case will be to small, already have the kb, mouse, ps and opt drive. It's the graph card, new mb, new hd and several fans I'll be needing + a bigger case.

Love your tips, Meow! Especially the blue on on the right. It looks like ice!
I was going to take pics of my new lovelies; unfortunately it rained all day. Hopefully, I can get some sunny pics tomorrow.
BTW, the meatloaf was wonderful. Who knew you could make a meatloaf in a crock-pot? I'm especially looking forward to tomorrow: meatloaf sandwiches! :D

Oh, and a little thing that happened that I wanted to share: I gifted a neato jellowjacket flatmouth to one of my buddies -- you should have seen how happy he looked! He went out the next day to buy a nicer tank to top with his first trippy! Now I'm hunting around for one for his wife/my galpal; it's a little hard because I end up wanting to keep them all to myself.

:evil:

I know, I know! Sharing is caring. :blush:
