So my sister just calls me

[SarcasticDwarf]

And tells me she needs a new computer by next Monday. It needs WinXP, a CD-RW, and a LCD....all for $400 or less.

fvck





I'm going to bed.

 

[StageLeft]

I refuse to be the first guy to ask for a pic.

 

[rh71]

I'd do what you're doing too... unless she was hot. You may not agree though... *shrug*

 

[ThisIsMatt]

Pics?

 

[vshah]

shouldn't be so hard, except for the lcd bit...

She's married and has a kid


and no pics

Maybe Dell has a $399 deal that will save you from the aggravation of having to get the parts, put it together, etc.

Yeah, minor problem. I can get the crappiest one from Newegg for $200, but still.

 

[Anubis]

need or want?

 

[jadinolf]

Dude, she's gettin' a Dell.

 

[TuxDave]

Find a way to put together an el-cheapo dell.. but the LCD monitor part may be a little tricky.

+$200 for XP if you're going the legal route, which it sounds like he wants to

 

[Mookow]

Technically, this is very possible:
-Offer $50 shipped for any Pentium 166MMX or higher full PC, with burner.
-An El Cheapo LCD
-Win XP.

Oh, sure, it will display a giant middle finger when you try to run WinXP. But she is ignoring the rule of "You can have it fast, cheap, and good. Just pick any two". She wants it "cheap" and "fast". "Good" will have to be ritually sacrificed in order for this to be possible.

 

[JoeKing]

here ya go bitch!!!

it meets the LCD requirment. Just don't come crying to me when her children go blind.

 

[jagec]

if it was anyone BUT a relative...I'd say, just get the cheapest CRAP you can find, charge them $50 or so to build it, and done.

Since it's a relative, RUN FAR, FAR AWAY, you do NOT want to provide tech support for a $400 PC with an LCD.

 

[tkdkid]

System ($129)

Monitor ($209)

And uh.....Windows (Free for 6 months)

Yeah it's server 2003, but she probably wouldn't notice...until it expired anyway.

Or you could just tell her to get real. Systems aren't that cheap. You don't ask somebody to get you a 'good' car for $1k.

 

[Chronoshock]

Lol I shudder to think of how this system will turn out...

[wyvrn]

I don't see how that exempts her from the pics requirement.

Is she THAT fat?

LCD? LOl yeah right

LCD would be the problem. Get crt label it with LCD and say Oh I thought you meant the brand.

 

[thomsbrain]

probably not gonna happen at that price with an LCD. for that money, you can't NEED an LCD. she just thinks it's cool.

 

[Kadarin]

Being a little unrealistic, isn't she? And demanding, too... So how'd you suddenly become her bitch? Tell her "that's great, have fun looking around for one.."
