you should buy a power generator so you don't have to pay for the bill!
Oh, wretched ephemeral race ... why do you compel me to tell you what it would be most expedient for you not to hear? What is best of all is utterly beyond your reach: not to be born, not to be, to be nothing. But the second best for you is—to die soon.

well yeah but I think having a power generator would just be neat anyway

wait power generators hold on ima google dis shit before I make myself look stupid*

*stupider

well that was a waste of time maybe one of you guys know

can you just use a fucken power generator to power your PC and... avoid paying for electricity bills or somethin? I guess from what I saw on the honda site you have to have the generator plugged in so it basically reroutes your energy so your still payin I suppose?

I dont know

as far as i know you have to keep your generator outside because most of them run on gas i'm pretty sure.

edit: i have no fucking idea

uh generators are loud and annoying and they have to be outside or you will get carbon monoxide poisoning and die

gas is more expensive than electricity anyway and has been for a long time

tell me if the quad core is really that good cause i hear since not too many programs know what to do with multiple processors the quad gets kinda wasted. also better hope the cooler master lives up to its name cause with that power supply and a quad core the machines gonna burn a hole through a wall

meh, mdcrack can supposedly use multiple processors and newer games probably do but I don't have any newer games hahahahah

vista is fucking horrible what the shit

and that computer seems a bit expensive, the computer I have now was like $600 and it was pre-assembled

compaq presario if anyone cares

it has a 160gb hard drive, 512mb ram, and a 3100+ amd sempron processor whatever that means
let's all set our phasers on "boring"

keep in mind he's getting a $400 monitor and every part he's getting is much better than what you mentioned

and with vista i keep hearing half and half. half nightmare stories, other half couldn't be happier (minus a few quirks). i've never used it, but from what i've heard, it kind of sounds like a segway OS to windows 9. like ME but not as horrible.

yeah but jesus who really needs a $400 monitor and quad core shit? unless you want to play new pc games but fuck that

also I can't stand vista or any other OS with pointlessly shiny graphics but I was raised on windows 3.1 so uhh
