You poor thing! Having to post on a Dell with a 2.66 processor and only 512MB RAM. :brokenheart:

So what charity are you going to donate that raggity a55 computer you're on now to when you build your new one? Huh????

My brother for web-browsing and music.

That's not donating it. That's your parents telling you it will be his. What's his current computer? A P4 2.4???

You sound like a major spoiled brat. You should be thankful you're getting anything. If you were my kid with that pissy attitude you'd be getting nothing for Christmas.

Actually this Dell is the Familey's PC and so I can get kicked off bout anytime anyone wants on. So I just want something no one can kick me offf of.

You're fvcking 13 years old! YOU want something no one can kick you off of????

If that's the case, you should move your whiny butt out of your parents' house and start earning a living and provide your own food and shelter. THEN maybe no one could kick you off of YOUR computer.

Too bad your parents are probably just as much at fault for your attitude as you are. Damned spoiled kids.

Shutup, nobody wants to hear your nonsensical rantings. It's perfectly understandable that he'd like a computer of his own. Not everbody makes 30k a year or so...

Maybe some charity work. Try serving some food at a homeless shelter or something similar. Maybe you'll see how fortunate and spoiled you really are.

I help out charity's all the time. I'm an A honor roll student. And am actually helping my friend, "soon to be girl friend" set up a charity rasing food and money for homeless throughout the holiday season's.

I'm an "A" honor roll student too . "Soon to be girlfriend?" Are you so spoiled you think you can pick up any girl you want? Also, for soemone who is a golden member, your computer PSU choice is REALLY BAD. I mean, WTF with a XCLIO??? Fortrons aren't any more expensive. And have ALOT more quality.

Ok I go to school thinking omg my computer parts are coming today and I get to build my dream computer.

I get home there they are sitting there. I take the box and my moms walks in. She syas "what are you doing with those?" I say "umm, gonna go build my computer". She says "uh no, that computer is for Christmas. I will rap them up and you can open them on Christmas morining. OMFG I am completely pissed right now. Even though she paid I thouhgt I could build it today. WTF?

Okay.. print out my reply and give it to your mom.

When I was small, I had to explain to my mom that is just never makes sense to hold computer parts for Christmas. Once she held a graphics card - graphics card ended up being bad. It took me about three months to get a new one since there are a LOT of RMAs the day after Christmas. On the rare chance that something is bad, it's much easier to RMA it before Dec 10 than before Dec 25 with January 1 following right after..

Also, computer parts, like brand-new cars, have this amazing ability to lose value quickly. The opportunity cost of giving little Jimmy (who is obviously big enough to want to build his own computer) Christmas Surprise seldom beats the opportunity cost of the actual value of the computer parts themselves. Depending on the gear, the computer could be 20% less by Christmas - why make sure not to use it?

Also, it's a horrible feeling to know that half of the rare Christmas vacation is going to be a waste. The computer makes the vacation.

BTW, instead of raising a hissy fit, I'd suggest kissing ass for the next week like you've never kissed ass before. Don't argue. Make her waffles in bed. Let her know how much you love her or how much she would like you to love her. Side with her when she argues with dad, etc.. If that doesn't work after 7 days, then raise hell like you've never raised hell before.

Solution: Build PC now, test, wrap in paper, add bow, place under tree and simmer until 12-25.

Agreed, I think he should have an already working and assembled computer by the time x-mas comes, I wouldn't want to spend 5 days just getting it how I like it, I'd like a computer up and running on that day...

Actually there is nothing wrong with Xclio, they use the same parts as Antec, and they actually get decent reviews.

:camera:'s of your mom. Only then can I decide what is right.

 

[PandaBear]

Well, if she got it for you for chrismas, technically she can tell you when you can have it. Sorry, you lose.

I'm not great at math, but unless you got like a 24 inch CRT or you bought parts early, then there are a few parts missing from your sig.

When I was 13 we had a 386, that was a bad ass computer, used to play Exploration on that thing all the time.

Your current Dell is better than mine(I will be getting a new one soon too), so I wouldn't complain, it should play games decently.

Hey, did you want some chocolate milk?

Don't worry I have everything.

-Antec PlusView SOHO Case
-Xclio 450BL
-CompUSA Drive
-CompUSA Floppy Drive
-MSI K8N-Neo4/SLI
-Opteron 148 Venus
-G. SKILL 2x 512MB PC3200 RAM
-HIS X800GOT OC
-Hitachi 160GB HDD
-A couple of RED case fans
-Enermax 6 fan Controller



And I have been saving up. I got $365 off of eBay for selling a $450 picture that my parents bought me when I was like 6. With all the help from my relatives and stuff thats where the money came from.

What brand PSU? If it's generic, I'd get a highquality power supply FIRST!

Now you're saying even more of the money if from you selling a pic your PARENTS bought you? Seriously, FVUCK OF AND DIE YOU WHINY LITTLE BITCH!!!. This thread is actually an aggravation to read.

That's a shame, a darn shame. Think your mom will buy me something for Christmas? Especially a grand worth of computer parts? I'll actually be grateful, maybe give her a hug and say thanks or something, not throw a tantrum.

This is why cauterizing one's balls off is usually the best solution for people who make posts like this.

It's a 2005 model and it will be MINE ONLY. guys I really don't want you to think I'm a spoiles little bitch becasue I'm not. I just think I deserved it since I have been saving up since febuary and yet she's only paying $300 (i payd the rest) and won't let me put my $1200 computer together.

Say you bought $900 worth of computer parts and all you had left was to buy a new CPU. The CPU is in your house and yet your mom won't let you put it together until 24 days. How would you feel.

Also my dad has worked VERY hard for his money. We as a familey deserve it.

The only money you ever got was gifts from people, and most was probably from your parents. You shouldn't have bought anything until a little bit before Christmas.

Yes, your dad works hard for his money, only for you to claim it is yours and blow it off on a computer and then get pissed and curse when you can't build it until Christmas. I think you and you're mom had some miscommunication as to when you actually get "your" computer.


How much did this computer REALLY cost, when did you purchase each part, and how much was paid by you, and where did you get the money that you paid with?
