Oh my aching foot!

    Want Want Need Need Gotta Have Gotta have Gotta have!

    P.S. I still have to have enough money to pay my taxes this year! That is what stopped me!
    I wish they had one of those in the puter shop! would've saved me lots of money

    I went back to that store I have never been too, I asked the guy if he still had the display piece for that cheap price of $1750 and he said yes! I then asked to see it for myself. He said it was a ploy to get people in the door, he explained (with me gritting my teeth as I held back my anger as I was about to choke the living Sh*t out of him). The case had just about nothing in it, there was a mb screwed in with one screw, there was one CPU on the board not two, there was nothing else, no PS, no Video, no Sound, no nothing. I had to refrain from reaching over and strangling the SoB (not the project). He talked it up, I chewed him out loudly so all patrons in the store could here me, I proceeded to make him literally cry in front of all of us patrons. I explained my background, and his willingness to deceive what could be a well worthy business is now being shelved. BY the end of the month I bet he will not have any business and be removing himself from the mall. BYE Idiot! Good Riddance. Just too make sure he leaves this area I will be returning and walking through his store telling people of the horrible actions he took to deceive myself and others! People Like this should not be in business, honesty gets you to the top of your game, deception gets you employed by someone else!





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

    …Pursuit is always hard, capturing is really not the focus, it’s the hunt ...

    You're kidding us right?

    I already thought a dual q6600 would be impossible though.
