im finding myself in a dillema, aside from my horrible spelling. lol.

for the past year im finding myself becoming more and more bored with PC's.
Its not a lack of learning, or a lack of hardware, its just plain boredom.
but maybe i find a new program, or a game and i play it for a short time, then im bored again.

well, i been bored for some time now, and ive come to a crossroads.

1)
Stay with my current setup and periodically spend more and more money or dont and just do light upgrades from time to time.

2)
drop all this and trade it for one ass kicking laptop. amd 64 , lots of ram widescreen or at least a 17in screen with high res and good refresh and good for minor games and kawaks roms. ati or nvidia latest mobile chipsets. dvd burner of course. wireless and wired. and all the bells and whistles.


frankly gents im ready to move to a laptop. 2 months ago i got rid of a kick ass 3ghz laptop maxed out, but it had crappy intel video, and wouldnt even run mame very good. but everything else was ok i guess.


im stuck, and i know the first thing people will say it, what will i be doing, well, since there is no light at the end of the tunnel for gaming, meaning game after game has proven to be nothing more than a rehash of other games. and nothing new,, its all old hat. not to mention i end up playing Kawa-X on my xbox more than i ever play other games. which brings me to my gaming dilemma, i have my xbox, and although i KNOW a pc and xbox are 2 different things. most of my gaming i think is a 50/50 split pc/xbox .

im just bored and as you can see i cant make up my mind. id be happy with a laptop, but it would have to be a serious laptop.

id be interested in starting a thread in the FS/FT forum but honestly i dont want to make a Make me an offer thread, well yes it would be that, so to speak, i just want to see what hardware people have out there. and see what people would offer me.

asside from the hardware you see in my sig, all thats left to mention is a full water set up. with BRAND NEW Koolance Exos parts, its all the exos parts except the exos case and radiator. when i saiy new its new never used, fresh from koolance. along with hose and a big bag of koolance fluid.
along with that water hardware i already have inside my case a koolance exos res/pump swiftech mcx5000 cpu block with amd 64 hardware AND pent 4 hardware. mcw50 video block with nvidia and ati hardware. Heater core from the parts store i have as my current radiator. and it works great.
also have an AMD koolance CPU300 mounting hardware. and also have a koolance CPU100 cpu block with pent 4 hardware.
Antec Chenming case
lots of 3/8 and 1/2 OD hose.


what do you fellas think,, would anyone around here be interested in doing a trade for a kick ass laptop. ?

Are you going to a lot of LAN parties? Then your laptop idea makes sense, otherwise seems pointless.

Mik3y - im a bit brain dead tonight please expand on cliff notes. if you mean the short version of what i posted,, believe me, if you've seen some of my other posts, that is the short version lol

Dave - no , no lan parties, i just want to trade it for a laptop of decent power, ive got one helluva desktop here, and i wont be trading it for just any laptop. i want a laptop that will last me. not some p.o.s. i will hate.

just not sure what to do, but i would give SERIOUS consideration into a laptop that was worth giving up this hardware.

Why?

If you have no use for a laptop as a laptop, you'll be bored with its laptopness very quickly.

i do have the use for it as the mobility.
i used the crap out of the 3ghz one i had, but i traded it for most of the hardware in my sig,, i wish i had kept it,, except for the crappy video.
the gaming aspect is just the vice i wont give up yet. and kawaks is impossible to let go off, them old games have always been my love. lol thats why i play them more than regualr xbox games on my xbox.
i just want a good laptop.

i was quite mobile with that 3ghz and used it at work and home and it was nice to take it back home when i went ot visit the parental unit. so i wasnt bored out of my mind watching the 3 channels on their tv lol.
