      i donated an hp (numbers matching) 3000 mainframe to the hp museum in oregon for a tidy sum of money. lets just say it was a lot more than my REPR.
      ok a 486 then

        i couldn't sell my guns so i picked up a refurb m18x (i think) it's huge but i love having the number pad...couldn't decide on a good laptop bag. almost all the 18" laptop bags were too small
        besides the occasional blue screen (i really need to turn if off sometimes instead of always putting it to sleep) it seems to be fine.
        i use it to video chat / wow / diablo3 / starcraft 2. i'm not always home so i need the mobility and i need my game fix.

            Wow this was a fun read

            My opinion: it was a fine trade if that's what you really wanted. Neither the gun nor the computer are "special", as in a "I cannot replace this" sort of deal. Get rid of the AR now, buy it again in a few years, get rid of it, repeat, makes no difference and you can always get another one, and this is coming from a big AR fan. Now if you said you traded off your grandfather's Garand for a laptop, then I would picard-riker facepalm super hard at you sir

            Oh, and just to keep the thread interesting: i bought my xbox in 2005 for $399 and have gotten 7 years of good times out of it, and I have not needed to worry about "upgrading" until maybe next year, depending on if the rumors of next gen consoles are true. Seems to be a great investment to me

              I have the m17x R3 and can say it's the only computer I have ever owned that I feel proud to use. I also have the HDMI-IN port. That's as ALL IN ONE as you can get with a laptop.

              I use the computer far more often than my AR so it makes sense to me me what you chose to do.

              Post up your build sheet and OTD cost.

                LoL. I keep CS 1.6 on my older laptop with the PODBOT bots and their routes still loaded so that I can have fun and IMAGINE that I am away killing those Evil CTs while I am at a seminar or what not. As far as those game go though, when you get too intensive they will drag any laptop down.

                BTW, I would own an Alienware if I found a good cheap one on Fleabay or CL. But since I instead own about 4 NC6400 laptops then I keep my game playing to a minimum. I would consider a Dell XPS laptop too, you can get a decent used one for about $600-$900 if you look around.
