    Well lets see, I bought myself a dual P4 mother board with a matched pair of dual core 3.6 CPU's, 4 gig of ram, 250gig hd, a geforce 256mb video card, dvd-rw, nice case, dvd-cdrw, dual network card, and some misc pieces to build me another computer since this one is getting dated. So if all is right I will be at 14.4ghz for cpu. I hope that will last a bit.

    I got some clothes form family since I forget to buy myself some alot. I got $30.00 from a customer and a nice card. I got tools, homemade goodies, cards, and lots of phone calls. I kicked ass in my book.

    Quick off topic question Yank...

    Is it possible to build your own laptop? I have built myself PCs before out of different parts, and it came out costing hundreds of dollars less than buying a full PC....

    But I just stick to laptops now because I need the mobility. Can a laptop be built just like a PC?

    Yes but with alot of issues. See you can order cases for PC's but laptop would require the re-use of an old case and good luck finding parts to fit so that leaves you building a case. It has been done, like the guy that built the laptop looking xbox 360

    Xbox 360 laptop
    Xbox 360 laptop2
    Wii laptop
    More xbox 360

    I have yet to find a person that has vested the time to do an actual laptop as you can see from the links above doing so could be done. Just building the shell is the issue.

    Heh, those are silly and fascinating.

    But yeah, that's what I thought... just too difficult to build a laptop.

    Cheers for the info :)

    I got a Huggy Jesus, a kilt, kilt shirt and matching cloak, four thermal henleys, a white chocolate coconut bar, a box of my sister's whole grain roca with pretzels and a flashlight.

    All I wanted was the kilt, everything else was bonus! I'm gonna be the king shit highlander at Ren Faire next year! I have an elk skin around here someplace, gotta make some boots and a sporran.

    I did not want anything, but I did get some books. If I have to get anything material anyway I prefer it to be books.
    I really do not want to collect stuff, since it does not make me any happier and it will probably be thrown or given away anyway.
