Gaming Setup
« on: September 01, 2012, 03:03:02 AM »

Havent seen a thread about this, so I might as well make one.

How is your gaming setup? Massive show of power? Or a lone laptop in the corner?

(Pictures are not needed)

Here is my setup :)

500GB HDD
Nvidia Geforce 9600M 512mb

Sucky MacBook.

It sounds as reasonable as the rest of quantum mechanics, so why not? 

I feel warm inside every time someone calls me "Your Lordship" or "My Lord"

might as well dump this here:

I've recently came across some money (summer job) and want to get a new computer. Budget is at around 900 give/take.

preemptive plan is this


are there anything I'm missing? Things above that are a rip-off? better things for about the same price?

Looking for any help anyone may give

thanks in advance
