It has been a while since I have had a computer and this blog has finally pushed my need for one over the edge. I have been using a mixture of my cell phone at home and the work computer to get my daily computing needs done. While it is an imperfect solution it has worked for me, mainly because I am cheap. I have a looming need for a new car and a lot of interest in various electronics so I tried to satisfy both as cheap as possible. My geek card might get taken away with this statement but I have lately found myself playing video games less and less as time goes on. It has been years since my Xbox couldn’t sate any video game hunger that I have had. With that in mind I didn’t feel relegated to the standard buying of PC parts and entertained less traditional means of computing. Right out of the gate I ruled out a laptop because I would have to spend at least $500 for a laptop that is worth it’s salt. I felt I would be better off sinking that amount of money on PC parts.
