hardware price drops vs. value

[jehh]

<< I spend nothing on upgrade, and I upgrade all the time, I just build one or two systems every month and put in my old stuff mainly the mobo and drives and with the money I get for building the system I can put in new stuff in my system.........So yes it does cost me time.........But I think its a good cheap way to have the new stuff. >>



I used to do the same thing, these days I don't bother, my time is worth more than the parts are... (which is either saying something about my time, or the parts, not sure which)...

At $45 for a 900 MHz Duron, they are giving the things away... I remember spending $1,200 for a Pentium 166 CPU (not the system, just the chip) the day it came out... Gosh that was a fast CPU for awhile...

<< You see, the problem is that I've been building tons of system for no fees at all. If I were to charge, I would prolly have my own car now. It sucks. GOhanson, go sleep before I run over to your room and pull out your AMD and make you eat silicon! >>



hey, admin, can u ban him ? he's threatening me.

WTF?!?!? What did I do?

All we are talking are the price/performace ratio..
never buy the top-tier hardware.. unless u have money to burn...

i.e. Nvidia card and P4
AMD T-bird 1.4 cpu is an exception
