Building/Upgrading a PC for TS2

The phone company already has all the information and intimidation tactics worked into their business model so it is very simple for them to add the cost of your computer onto your phone bill and threaten to cut off your phone if you don't pay the computer portion of your bill. And although they don't need any additional perks from any low-life computer company they probably have them anyway.

It is clearly a communist conspiracy and not to be trusted.

The January 2007 issue of PC World includes a review of desktops under $1,000.  That cheap Dell is somewhere near the bottom of the list.

If you're looking to buy a new computer, I would NOT buy a new package deal like that, especially with monitors. Monitors are grossly overpriced, the technology underlying them hasn't changed in years, and you don't need a new one when your old one will do fine. Monitor technology has not fundamentally changed since the invention of the television and there is absolutely no reason to buy a new one. Especially when some whiny wussies wanting to trade to some new-fangled, unreliable, dodgy, useless-for-gaming LCD monitor would happily unload their good, old-fashioned, heavy ion-bombardment-tube on you for free.

* Rose Outlaw loves her LCD (ViewSonic VA902) ...
3 CRTs practically died one after the other, while this one is doing fine.
The only "big screen" left around here is my father's 19'' which he runs with a 800x600 resolution. So sad to see.

I'm just missing one thing with LCDs... hardly any room to put notes onto, neither Post-it nor directly pen-on-plastic. ;)

 :o well um *cough* guess I won't be buying that one!!!  :D  I know I was being a silly twit even thinking about it but I was just hoping for a quick fix, and I did have a feeling it would be a dud, to good to be true type of thing!!  ::)

I know I can get a custom-made tower for at least $600.00 + tax Canadian with specs for gaming purposes, as indicated in these posts, but I will have to wait and save up the money for that  ::) Now with Christmas coming up, no chance in hell with that.

My game is just soo slow loading up played lots and going to community lots, and I can't play any lot larger than the 3 x 3.  I know I shouldn't complain, but seems like such a shame to play like that with a game which has soo much potential.

Oh well, hopefully in the new year!  Thank you for your opinions, I do appreciate them.  I knew you guys would tell me the harsh honest truth!  :D
