It's a shame that it's come to this. Secretly, for the past 4 months or so, I've been posting to Bluelight with nothing but a Blackberry. Posts containing multiple pictures had to be relayed to MS Office first because of the difficulty of having multiple tabs on Blackberry's browser. This problem is fixed with Opera Mini, but Opera mini's cursor is just impossible to control without getting very frustrated.
Anywho, I used to have an awesome pc. Awesome. Awesome monitor, too. I had over a terabyte worth of total hard drive space on two 7200 rpm drives, 8 gb of ram, an ATI HD card that could run anything you threw at it at ridiculous resolutions, m-audio midi controllers for sound production (2). Basically, my computer was an erection that could be controlled with a keyboard and mouse. Also, I had an awesome Asus laptop that I would often use at the same time.
So, I decided that it would be a good idea to sell all of those things for less than $700 total in order to buy a few weeks worth of pills. At the time, it was a fantastic decision.
Now I realize that I am too irresponsible to have nice things. So instead of trying to recreate my old system, I bought a used HP pc with a monitor from a guy who was using it as his workstation at HP. It has a P4 2.8, 1.75 gb, 40 gb hdd, internal graphicsn 3 pci slots - no agp, and a 15 inch lcd monitor running xp pro.
Because I'm limited in my upgrades due to almost everything about this computer, I am getting a pci firewire card, a multi-card reader that plugs into a usb slot, a geforce pci card with dual vga, and an extra set of usb ports via a pci card. That eats up all three of my pci slots. Regarding rebuilding a sound station to replace my old one, I opted not to use one of the pci slots for a soundcard because I will be able to get an external firewire card since I'm installing firewire ports.
