motherboard died... time for a new PC...

Post by scared? »

It's been thru a lot but I guess it's time to move on... Figure I'll just start from scratch. Haven't been paying attention for a long while so what's the story? Budget is around 20k... So what should I get?... Full parts list is preferable... Thx...

He's lying. He hasn't posted an anything other than his phone in years, hence all the auto-correct issues. Geoff's too poor to own a PC.

Can you even buy a PC worth $20k? Pretty sure after about $3k you're well into diminishing returns anyway.

I know last time we upgraded our servers at work a couple of years back we spent ~£100k/~$150k (Hyper-V server and mirrored hotswap) and I bet they won't even run Crysis :owned:.

Geoff needs to get his old assembly line job at Dell back before he can afford to get a new computer with employee pricing.

Geoff, you tell lies on the internet in an attempt to escape a mundane, boring life lacking in any and all forms of adult stimulus.

Just thought you should know.
