What planet are some people on??
 

Just a little anecdote about something that happened last night I thought I would share.
Last night received an email off a friend of my Father saying there grandson wanted a computer for Christmas that had to run Macro media suite play games and they wanted a SFF case and a 17 inch TFT.
I replied saying whats your max spend and they replied......£230!!!!!!!
I mean where do these people come from im good but im just not that good :D

Re: What planet are some people on??
 

I tell you what if you can pull that one off I will have one as well Zing lol

Re: What planet are some people on??
 

Certainly 'do able' just no profit for you mate.

Or maybe time to sell off your old kit :)

Re: What planet are some people on??
 

how is it? find me a SFF case 17 inch TFT board cpu ram hard drive graphics optical (they want a dvdrw too)thats good enough for gaming for that ;) I wouldnt even sell my lowly 2400 xp for that price with screen

Re: What planet are some people on??
 

Well, a sh*tty Pentium 3 would run Macromedia apps, and some games..... just it would run them very badly :D

Re: What planet are some people on??
 

You can definately run Macromedia Suite on anything above 1.5ghz and 1/2 gig of RAM, obviously as Gareth says it won't run well but it will run. Trouble is that they want a decent case and a 17 inch TFT monitor for the money too.

Re: What planet are some people on??
 

LOL forgot the SFF bit : Who r these ppl LOL maybe u should point them to the price for the cheapest Biostar SFF(100max maybe cheaper)

Then they'll need ram, cpu, and Monitor(70-100?)

Shesh thats a tight budget ! And dont forget to tell them they NEED an XP license :)

Re: What planet are some people on??
 

I told em they can double it anyway ;) im waiting now not to hear from them :)

Which parts of the Macromedia Suite. None of them require that much power apart from some elements of flash.

Another one for you

About a year ago a family friend called me asking about a pc i gave them a quote and they bought a machine from a shop.They then called me expecting help ....
Tonight a good few months later I get a call saying a nephew has built a pc (only his second) and its failed so can they bring it to me. I wanted to say why didnt you get someone like me who knows what there doing to build it but I cant say that. Needless to say they are gonna find themselves fleeced when they get the bill for this ;)

Re: What planet are some people on??
 

WOW, they are obviously clueless as to prices for computers, lol I saw server type Pentium 2 on ebay, like two 233Mhz processors, maybe that could help?
That should cost what? £40?
Trick them, tell them it has like two cores so it can run multi-threaded applications, he can play Star Craft on one core and play music on the other!
Awsome!!!:):):)
