First you could tell us what game it is, second, you're asking for a pretty decent computer, not a piece of crap. I might give you a piece of crap, but not a good computer. Third, how the hell are your posting here, you seem to have a comp yourself. Fourth, get off your ass and quit begging. 'Boo hoo, I can't work to get a comp!" Yes you can, go out, get a job, and you can have an even better comp. UPGRADE YOUR CURRENT COMP! Yes, it's possible, buy some shit and install it yourself.


Jesus man, I forgot my processor speed, and I know my Force 4 is better, but I only have 256 megs, there's no way in hell I'm GIVING you a computer that I'd like to own myself, if for nothing more than selling.

andrewcool

the game is planetside and i am working for a new computer like crazy but take several months and plus current computer is full but i am going to ask somebody at bestbuy if they can add ram and maybe a better grahpics card like in several months if i have the money or maybe in a week to see the cost.

Mr1337Duck
2003-08-02, 10:02 PM
Wait, how old are you? If you're a teen working at 5 bucks an hour it won't take long to get that stuff. But you're asking to get comp that's over twice as powerful as your current one for free. Hell, do you think anybody would send me a comp that's twice as good as my current one for free. Tha comp would be a tiny god. If you know how to install new hardware, do that, much cheaper.

andrewcool
2003-08-02, 10:07 PM
will i am working hard and getting less money. But i don't know how to install ram ect:(. it cost over 100.00 to install it.

Navaron
2003-08-02, 10:11 PM
How old are you?

Don't dare fucking pay $100.00 to have someone install that ram for you. They're ripping you off cause you're a kid. Shit, alot of people here can build you a bad ass computer for 500 or so.

andrewcool
2003-08-02, 10:14 PM
lol i was thinking of buy a alienware or dell computer when i get the money. But i hate is when people make it them self its the support. There no support but you.

EarlyDawn
2003-08-02, 10:36 PM
Most who do that are either experienced with the hardware and software aspects of a computer, or know someone who is. In the end, though, you'll be buying that computer because what you are asking for is a very healthy peice of equipment.

andrewcool
2003-08-02, 10:40 PM
i know nobody.:( but i would be more likly to buy a computer becuase of support and if something wrong i can get a new one and if not i am sue them.

Hey mods, does this message board system have a way to cross reference a user's IP to see all the other users on their IP?

On the IGN boards we would do that to catch the wee-tods making new accounts to do stupid stuff like ask for a free computer...

i belive there is. But why do you want to know?

2003-08-02, 11:38 PM
Sorry, I work for my money. I don't give money to little kids begging on the side of the road cause they want to go to nationals (in what sport they never do say) and I won't fork a computer over to anyone I don't know that doesn't have a darn good reason.

A couple of things, if you are old enough, get a job. If yhou aren't old enough, even better. Take this time where you have little to no financial opertunity and think of a way to make money working for yourself. Anytime you work for someone else, they are going to be on your back about whatever you happen to be doing, and you will be making them money the whole time.

Jobs suck, don't get one. :nod:

andrewcool
2003-08-02, 11:41 PM
yea but still be cool to get a job. i wish i had a rich dad or aunt and they left me there company or gave me money:). i miss my dad.:(

Technically MilitantB0B, wouldn't this "ploy" fall into your second catagory? No one in a million years will, but imagine if someone did ship him over a 1ghz computer, he would be able to stick that on ebay for $300+...

He could have said he had cancer and his parents died to get a little bit of sympathy, instead of just saying he wants to play a game. (that costs $50, but that would be his second request since he has no money)

Squick I meant to say that unless it was someione I knew who had a darn good reason. In other words, if someone I knew asked for a computer, I'd say no, if someone I didn't know had a darn good reason for me to give him a comp, no. Only if someone I knew had a darn good reason would I fork the sucker over. And even then I would make sure I could track em down to give em a beating if the deal went south.

I know what you are saying and I agree...

But another twist of irony, the instant that I said that he could have posted that his parents died he did...

Also kinda odd that he has been posting nearly every 60 seconds for the past hour ehh?

I wonder who he actually is... Hamma being bored? Punisher, or whoever tried to scam Squeeky? Aztec having another "bad day" and instead of flaming everyone he made another account?

Wtf guys, why are you all being dicks to this man?
I understand where nav is comming from, to install things himself, or get off his ass and get a job or something. But when the rest of you guys are being asses for no reason, telling him to STFU and that no one will give him a comp cause he was a recruit at the time, telling him to stop begging, when he made a few posts about it. Maybe you guys could of gave POSITIVE responses that might help him in his quest for a comp, not "Stop replying to this thread and stop feeding this spammer." And If I remember correctly, Squeeky asked for anyone with a comp that we might be willing to give away, and you wernt dicks to him. Weird eh'?Maybe he though the community was nicer than a few flaming fuckheads who decide to give him a hard time about it, hey?

Seriously though You can easially build a system from parts from online stores I think maybe for $200 bucks. But it would be hard to find decent parts at low low prices.

andrewcool
2003-08-04, 12:46 AM
the thing i hate is that building a computer means that the computer could blow and you would have to buy another one.

There no Support.

Mr1337Duck
2003-08-04, 01:01 AM
Of course there is, message boards, people who made the parts, people you can hire to fix your comp, it's the same as any other computer. And if something goes wrong, it's not a whole nother computer, just buy a new part for whatever went wrong. Unless your comp caught on fire inside, then you have to replace everything.

andrewcool
2003-08-04, 03:53 AM
see what i mean. if i buy from company wirh warrenty i could get it replace for free or they can get sueded. now with building you can sue per part:(.

whats your deal with the sueing? not everyone is out to rip you off, even then you dont sue someone for 100 bucks for a part. thats the kind of crap you do if you want to end up on Judge Judy. hmm is that show still on or did someone finally wack her?
