it's not so much need, as much as want...i tell myself i can sell my old hardware and recoup some of that back, and suddenly it sounds a bit better :laugh:

 
You are better off than me then. 😛 I always have to build a whole new PC and keep the old adding to my collection...

i usually stay a step or two behind on hardware, i don't have to have the bleeding edge

3 months ago I made myself a beast machine with:

X2 4400+
A8N something...
Enermax 550w psu
Radeon X1900XTX (my beautiful baby)
20" LCD

I am now too poor to eat 🙁
