Sarge's New Stuff..I think its ok??
So here is the story...
I go into my little coumpter repair shop just to upgrade my old tower to Win 7 Ultimate for $200.00. We start chatting and I had looked at this monster and thought it was some kind of server. Anyway we babble on. (sidenote this guys twang is just like Nighty, how you guys understand each other is amazing ) He gives me a nod and tells me for a few more bucks, instead of upgrading my old tower (which I bought from hin 5 yrs ago) plus the Win 7 I could walk out with this. He told me this tower runs around $3000. to $4000. I don't know that much about this stuff. He rebuilt it from the ground up and put in $1200. bucks into it and was going to "give it to me for $950.00. Its nice to have friends. I've been dealing with "big Jim" for 8 years. He's an old fart and his warranty is for as long as he lives...
So to do the math he gave me full trade in price for my old tower factor in the $200.00 I was going to spend anyway, so this thing only cost me was only $440.00 And he knows I'm on disability I can pay him the balance whenever.
This is all new to me, but I think it was a Grand Slam. I'm sure I will die just as much and fly into mountians, but I'll look better

AHHAHAHAHA .. first nice rig .. I don't know about those processors but Colonel loves the AMD stuff.
Can you tell "Big Jim" I can trade him some beer and a few things out of the garden, shipped right to his door lickity split for one of those. Hell I'll even throw in a bottle of homemade wine and a pouch of Redman for that. Redman Golden blend if he prefers. He must be a good guy if he sounds like me.
And are you gonna start posting pictures all the time now???

LOL. My wife buy them for me. The subwoofer pushes 80 or a 100 watts and the side speakers are three way with a bass speaker for their stands. Ask Nighty if I should post a pic

LMAO. I'll give ya a pic of the chicken coop, but the garden is under a tad bit of snow.
Not to come off snobby a lot of my computer stuff were gifts or took years to get. The only thing that knocked me over was scoring the tower. Thanks all.
Hey Nighty I'll see if I can get my chickens drinking a beer for ya
