Harry,
Since you really don't have any computer credential yourself, it
seems that JimH has hit a very sensitive nerve. I am curious, why
is a successful writer who is paid hundreds of dollar and hour to
write, wasting his time building a computer, instead of paying
someone with credentials to put it together. You can have someone
with credentials build it for less than you earn in one hour.

Is it possible you have chased away all of your clients and can't
afford it?

Duh! If you ask, you'll find people in here who work on their own
boats...yet could make more money doing what they do best while
hiring someone else who'll work cheaper.
It's the satisfaction of starting and completing a task yourself.
note: girlie men do not understand this concept.
Smithers is playing you, Don. He's trying oh so hard as he always
does to try to get a "rise" out of me, and he's not succeeding,
because he's once again in my dumpster. As if I would take
gratuitous advice from a dipstick like Smithers.

You're mostly correct in your assessment of why I usually assemble
my own PC's. Another reason is that it really isn't very difficult.
It took me about three hours to assemble the components, and the one
that took the most time was the case, since it had so many custom
parts. I even remembered to put the grease between the CPU and its
fan.

As I stated previously, I wouldn't let Hertvik squeegee my
windshield.

Ditto.
I'm not trying to get anything out of you, dimwit. You made a totally
unsubstantiated claim that implied you had some sort of expertise in
things computer, and that you could assemble a "better, faster
computer for less," or somesuch nonsense.

It's a b.s. claim on your part, and you know it.

What are your "best" prices on P4 Socket 775 CPUs above 3.2 Mhz?

Let me first know what you paid, providing a link. Otherwise, kiss my
ass.


I paid under $80 for a brand-new, sealed box, retail Plextor PX-716A.
Not a repack, not B goods. A goods.


Bull****. No link, as expected. Just more BS from you.

When was the last time you went boating Krause?

Dind't buy the Plextor off an internet store, nor did I say or imply I
did.

I didn't say you did. But most retail stores have internet sites.

I guess you will now tell me that the store you bought it from doesn't.




Boating? Last week. Crummy weather all weekend, rainy.

So when was the last time you were out Krause? I was out Thursday, Friday
and Sunday.



I kinda figured you'd never come up with any prices.


Actually I just made a call and found one for $65.



Why don't you spec out and price a nice P4 Socket 775 box for us, Jim,
just middle of the road, so we know you're for real on this. You
know...your best recommendations for a standard PC, item, price, et
cetera. Use brand names.

Bet you won't.




Yep, I won't.....until you step up to the plate and meet my original bet.
