That's quite the box! I wish I had a spare $1k for another machine. I've wanted to check out the AMD64 to see how it performs.

Best of luck getting it sold!

You know, the other option is to buy the future wife a gaming computer and get her hooked as well! :-) There's always World of Warcraft!

I tried that with my wife... I actually got he to sit down and try Diablo2 using one of the female characters....Nope didn't work almost divorced right there....Oh well not everyone is as lucky as Apophis....Maybe you need to put a sticky out Apophis, on how to get wives involved in TG

**marstein** · 11-19-2005, 12:47 AM

My wife got so hooked on gaming a couple years ago that she did nothing else (forget dinner, cleaning, etc all the household stuff). She was very good too- I was usually dead before I even saw her. That was playing doom over serial cable back when...

If I had $1000 in my name then I would consider this. But I don't

Sheesh, when did you buy this?

wildcat2000 · 11-21-2005, 06:02 PM

Well, that sucks adampatrick. I'm married and I play games on my PC.

adampatrick · 11-21-2005, 06:57 PM

I have only had the computer for probably 3-4 months. Oh and I am also throwing in the 20" Sony Flat Screen computer monitor which alone is worth 500.00. I am in the process of building a house so I could you the little extra money also.

Do you have pictures? And will you work through an escrow service?
