Aunties that married into money and lost all sense of values own.
Auntie visits us, is impressed by Jo's iBook and how she uses it as 'digital hub!' for her music, photos, dvd editing etc etc.
Auntie goes out and buys a new PC from Dell without asking little 'Marky'
Auntie is confused about why it all looks different and phones little 'Marky'
Little 'Marky' tries to explain the difference betweens MacOS X and Windows.
Auntie asks little 'Marky' to come with her to the Apple Store in London to show her what to buy and then to set it up at home.
Auntie then gives litte 'Marky' the more or less untouched Dell PC by way of thanks \o/
So i got a new high spec Dell PC for nowt, needs a better vid card really (plain 6800 in atm), but once again, im 1 PC to many.
So, gonna sell my one and use the money from that to get the laptop i get close to buying most weekends but then dont as id get ownd when i got home.
So gonna ebay it, but what reserve do you think i should stick on the following....
Asus A8N SLI motherboard (onboard sound/lan)
Apple G5 look-a-like case
Enermax 550w silent PSU
AMD Athlon 64 3200
120 gig Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 SATA drive
Viewsonic 19 inch ultrabrite FST monitor
1.5 gig pc 3200 ram
Gigabye 6600GT PCI video card
LG DVD/CD-RW combo drive
Belkin 802.11g wireless network adapter
Labtec speakers
Microsofr mulitmedia keyboard
Microsoft wireless/optical mouse
Secondly, of the laptops ive looked at, the one thats caught my eye spec/price wise is
http://laptops.tiny.com/computers/home_laptops/13393/61307/Tiny_PowerLite_CM3400_Pro
.. bit wary from buying from tiny and no clue what the performance of these mobile celerons is like, id mainly want it for web browsing, managing music and photo collections, making CDs and some light gaming, not expecting to play HL2 in similar details and resolutions to my desktop but would be nice to be able to play some slightly older games on the move or away for work. Any advice here would be appreciated.
