Free computers for me!
« on: September 25, 2010, 02:02:39 pm »
So I just wanted to brag about my recent score. I have a friend who asked if I wanted a computer, I said sure... I can always throw it on the pile lol. And then a day later I had another friend who asked if I wanted a computer case... I declined. Then the friend who gave me the first computer asked if I had a nice case kicking around, so I asked my other friend if he still had the other case [a really nice transformers themed case], and he dropped it off with a computer still inside. Well the guy who wanted the case just wanted the case so I pulled out the guts. After picking the parts apart and putting them together in a different way, I now have 2 dual core 3.2 ghz computers each with 1.5 gigs of ddr2 ram, which is like 2x as good as my current arcade computer. So my arcade compy is gonna be donated to my mom [who for some reason pays for really fast internet and her computer is so slow it can't even load the pages at a timely rate], I'll get a new arcade compy, and then I'll have one machine left over for either a juke or a second arcade. I've been dreaming of a driving cab as well [perhaps running other emulators as mame's driving selection is small and requires a ton of processing power for the good ones], but money is tight right now... I've taken a leap and am now 100% self-employed. So hopefully that will get off the ground.
