(Ir)Responsible?

[Xiahou]

Sorry if it seems a bit crass, spending that much on a computer. Anybody who'd like to flame me as a capitalist pig who spends too much on gizmos, please feel free.

Not I, I have no room at all to criticize.... multiple PCs, PDA, UPSs, GPSs, and so on.

I'd say that if you're going to drop that kind of cash though, go for the dual video cards.

Discussing all of this publicly is filling me with buyer's remorse, which is really amazing since I haven't bought anything yet. Perhaps I should just stick with my old home-brew box, and sink the money into something useless like Maxwell's college fund.

That's Smeagol talking. Gollum wants a God Box.

[edit -- addendum]

Maybe buying impractical gizmos is like buying porn. Don't ask, don't tell. Perhaps I've violated a taboo I didn't know existed?

Any discussion on about hardware in a cult gaming forum will eventually lead to two conclusions:

1. Your proposed system isn't 1337 enough
2. Your proposed system is a waste of money, you can get the same kind of performance cheaper !

So if you go ahead and buy your system you will both feel like you wasted money on something you didn't need and that your system will only be good enough to last you a year or so before it becomes totally outdated.


Don't ask, don't tell.
