RE: Balancing Quality and Cost

5 months ago

I tried to strike a good bargain for myself with the online vendor...

I'm left with a feeling of... "To be continued...". Anything tech is expensive. But you DO get what you pay for! By the way... That's a nice looking set up you have! I've got a PC I built, back in 2006. Now that we are in our new place. I'm hoping to get it going again. Here's my current set up:

Your mindset is spot on, and like we tell our grandkids all the time. Take care of your stuff. One day you'll understand the value of the things you have. Good to see your words, brother.

Woah. Your setup is pretty neat! I love how chill it is.

Built a PC? I'm not sure what that means, though.

One day you'll understand the value of the things you have.

My mother is good example of this. She's not a spender, but rather a keeper. And now many of the things she's kept well come in useful every now and then.

Thank you, Wes. And for the badge. My partner and I were stoked to both get ours...

The badge? Oh... you are welcome! Since the very first day, I created my TAG... then community. I have done everything manually. Sure... I am enjoying using the capabilities of the @hivediscomod created by @yaziris for a few things. But I still read every single post. The Badges I send out... once I know folks are going to stick around... create positive/original content. Now then... when I say "Built a PC"... I mean just that. I chose a tower, motherboard, processor, RAM... all of it. I was going to school online, back in 2009, working on my B.S. in IT. My intent was to be a Databse Admin... with a focus on data security/storage. But mansakes; life just got in the way, and I never finished.

This was my last build. I used this one for my online college. It has four hard drives and a big whopping 133MHZ FSB. A "dino" compared to computers nowadays. But it did what I needed. That seems like just yesterday. But crazy to think it was almost 16 years ago... time flies when you are having fun!

" My partner and I were stoked to both get ours..."

I live in a cave LOL. I guess I am not sure who your partner is. Anyway... don't forget to get that image source on your recent post, please! (Unless you already have, as I type this reply, turned post-LOL).
