I feel like I'm robbing a bank. My current computer, after I put it together, cost me 1,200 dollars in 2007, and 4 years later, it's sub-par for even a crap computer you could buy at Walmart now days, as far as technology is concerned. But it still plays games like a champ. I gotta pat it on the mobo for that. This is my first upgrade from that.
Thankfully, I got a guy who wants to buy the old system. I'll see if I can sneak in one of my old 20" monitors for like 75 bucks more, seeing as I'll be replacing it with the new 23" for main.
Funnily enough, absolutely none of the dollar amount is coming out of my bank account. Thanks to the good-hearted tax payers, I simply went to school while not working, and qualified to get free money! Thank you guys! I will use the new computer in every one of you working American's honor.
