i iz computer dumb. i only know a little about musical audiophilia when it comes to high end shit. reading a review of the new conan multi-player game in the new york times today the dude mentions that in order to play the game you need, like, a 2000 dollar computer and i was all damnnnnn cuz i forget about the gamers out there. plus all i get is dell spam in the mail and everything is an easily affordable 599 or 699 or 799 plus rebate or whatever.

so if you were gonna go nutz what would you splurge on? i'm big on electro-porn. pictures encouraged.

My computer was in the Jurassic Park computer room scene. Well alright, the rack my computer is in was in that scene. Close enough. (Thinking Machines made nice racks, among other things.)

DG, Friday, 6 June 2008 14:45 (seventeen years ago)

Just buy a cheap laptop and 3 or 4 ounces of GOLD.

Kerm, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:04 (seventeen years ago)

every time they update the mac pro, a friend and I go into their store webpage and see how expensive we can get it by adding all the options

mh, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:18 (seventeen years ago)

Yes, don't bother buying a fuck you computer - just spend $4,000 on 512mb of Apple ram.

James Mitchell, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:20 (seventeen years ago)

xpost pretty shockingly expensive.

Woo Hoo! $24,070.90!

Now that's a fuck you.

kenan, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:32 (seventeen years ago)

Costs more than the average automobile! I think I'll pay cash, just to drive home the point that I can *totally* afford it. (p.s. not really)

kenan, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:33 (seventeen years ago)

I was really hoping that scott was asking for the computer equivalent of GG Allin... a computer that lacerates you and throws poop in your face.

Mackro Mackro, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:52 (seventeen years ago)

So he does want a Mac?
