Today, until the 14th (I think), there is an awesome deal on Dell’s Dimension 4700. For $499 (after $100 rebate), you get a 2.8GHz 800MHz FSB HT P4, 256MB DDR2 400MHz RAM, 40GB SATA Harddrive, 2 Year Warranty, FREE 17” LCD Monitor, and free shipping.
Just today, I was trying to transcode some Divx files to MPEG to burn to a DVD for my Mom (yes Mom, I’m still working on it), and I realized how dumb of an idea that was going to be on my tablet. I started thinking that I needed to actually get a workstation for home, to do some of the things the tablet just isn’t very good at. Of course, this deal just happened to start today, so, instead of getting a watch with my tax refund, I’ll be getting a new machine. I did, however, upgrade the ram to 512MB and a 80GB harddrive.
Hopefully I’ll have it soon so that I can give my Mom her bday gift.
happy birth-a-day to aaron’s mom! she rocks!
See, what made the above post funny, was because her birthday was on the 9th…of January. Granted, she did get a really nice Xmas gift (also a new computer).
hahahah. Dude, you can’t miss your mothers birthday, that’s just, well, terrible. But granted, if you’ve been having troubles getting it to work because of the crappy tablet you have… ;)
I didn’t so much miss it as I did just not send her a gift at the time. I’m actually working on putting a bunch of shows she likes on DVD. The new machine, which will get here tomorrow (the 14th), will help greatly with that.
