friendship at its best

[Unimatrix Xero]

Two days ago i had a phone call off my mate asking me if i wanted a PC he had kicking round, the specs where as follows

Intel Core Duo 2.3Ghz

4GB crosshair x4 1GB sticks

x3 250gb western digital hdd's

X-FI filadity extremegamer

Zalaman heatsink

Thermaltake Kandalf Case

1000watt BFG PSU

7.1 surround sound system

I asked him how much he wanted for it, and my mate said nothing, he just wanted to get rid of it, the mobo was DOA and he didnt ever get round to replacing it, and since he wasnt going to fix it he asked me if i wanted it for free. now i didnt have to think twice on this so i said yes.... and it turned up this morning.

Now since i couldnt afford to replace the mobo either i stripped the parts and added everything minus the processor and 1 hdd isnt to system, now of course i swapped everything into the new case, ive been working on this all day and 5 hours later all is complete

It still surprises me how generious people can be and esp with this build

due to this ive got 2 processors for sale (see Neobay for details)

[zeroday]

Sweet, will you ask your friend to be my friend also? Please?

[simonlang]

I want to be his friend as well. Giving that kind of system away, he must do well for himself.

You have a very generous friend. The most I got from a friend was a Athlon XP 2400+ and heatsink :p

When i was like 14 I had a net friend (lived in the same city), he was like 35 and kept tryin to give me stuff like that. I only met him once when he brought me something on my BDAY.

anyways now that i think back to it (im 24 now)... that was really creepy.

Noooo, how could you possibly think that :|

[Unimatrix Xero]

how old are you? and how old is your friend?

We are both 27, and both computer nuts, we kinda met when playing Frontlines on the PC and then we started up Binary Squadron.co.uk as the rest as they say is history lol
