well im a student and that loan pays for my rent + food + alcohol and it doesnt even cover that. I only managed to get the comp parts i got now by having a bursiary.

Nah directed at woppy101. with only one case I'm assuming he has sold lots of those parts.

Beasty · 2 Dec 2009 at 15:43

You guys are bonkers.

Spent about 150 this year, that's it! Another 8800GT, some memory to fix a problem I had and an Arctic Freezer Pro because one of the legs on my stock intel wasn't working problem and so the temp was a little high.
