# bargain!

no, if i was to buy a new one it would have to be a dell one, the old mans got this thing about dell, nothing else will do (other than his compaq tablet, but thats a diferent kettle of fish)

# damn right.
i didn;t bother with buying an expensive computer case, i built mine out of plywood.

i also use mice in a wheel as a power supply.

and i have a bakerlite keyboard.

# thats ok.
i do most of the IT purchasing at my work, so i can get things at trade prices.

todays deal is 17" TFT monitor £167.

also sony are doing the RZ Vaio desktop machines at £1295. but they are throwing in a 17" sony TFT for free (worth about £350)
