have u tried getting some of stuff that supposably helps ppl with low income?

not to be mean or anything. but do you by chance smoke or drink, cause that would be one reason you wouldn't have much cash to save.

im sixteen, so no, and no. and i actually have like 6 hundred, but i have to save so i can halp pay for car in a couple of years (yeah havent even gone to drivers ed yet) but we poor, like file for bankrupt poor, so yeah.....:P

im in serious need of a job. but i have wrestling, so i dont get home till like 6:30 everyday, and on weekend with tournements ill be at them from like 7:am-10pm (no lie) so i would need a sunday job, and jsut work all sunday and save up.

If it's playable and it's the only game you want to play then yes your system is fine.

From a hardware point of view the source engine is hardly a bench mark anymore.

im not at my house so i cant look at the specs on it, but i know ive checked and its unplayable (according to the steam website(like i dont even have good enough specs for the minimum requirements, not to mention the recomended) i think the only things that arnt good enough is my processing unit, and maybe graphics card.....)

If you can drive take a stroll around a high-end neighborhood during bulk trash day. 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. :P

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.

Acrylic cases scratch too easily when putting them together.

It won't be so badass once that WC system starts to leak.

lol, hater.

They dont scratch if youre careful, and most scratches polish out easy. 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.

No, I'm not hating on WC, because me and my brother are actually planning to use one for our next builds.

But, I do have friends who have their own WC system, and I've been there to leak test 2 of them. (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.
