People WILL throw out towers with usable parts in them...salvage what's alive and build your own rig. On average you'll wind up with a pretty low-end computer but I'd be surprised if it couldn't run CSS. If you're lucky you'll find a tower with a Windows CD key on it too! That's a quick 80 bucks right in your pocket.read above post, cant drive.....hmmmm but not a bad idea. think the dumpsters behind a computer store would have anything (im being honest, i have gone dumpster diving before.....its quite fun actually)ugh. i hate being poor............EUREKA! i just had the best idea in the world. ima create a youtube video, and it jsut be me and just start talkin how my parents life goal was to have a million dollars (or some bullshit thing like that) and ask everyone who watches this video to send me like $10 in paypal, so i can give all the money to my parents as a thankyou/birthday present (once again soem bullshit along those lines....) It could work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zagrao 0 Posted October 30, 2008 alright revolution, since u really need a job, my suggestion to you is that you finish the season for the wrestling and then focus on getting a job and secure some income and maintain ur fitness (if possible)unless you're going for a wrestling scholarship, which would mean stick with it.tough luck, but one or the other will have to be ur main goal.sorry i can't be much help to ya.

As for the leaking water, you should always run a leak test prior to fully installing everything and use a non conductive coolant if possible. Leaks are the last thing on my mind though, I worry more about fingerprints. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Jumping the PSU, etc.)It's been about a year since the first one, and he recently told me his shits starting to leak.I don't know what he used for coolant, but he hasn't been online in awhile, lol.
