@rootwyrm @da_667 @ra6bit @gsuberland @rusty__shackleford I had a choice between buying a set of Ronal Teddy Bears for my Mk.2 Jetta or buying a good HDD. Sacrifices had to be made and those Ronal's are too funny to not buy.
@Mustardfacial @rootwyrm @ra6bit @gsuberland @rusty__shackleford fun fact: I burned all the money I got from high school graduation on my first PC. 1GB of RAM, XP pro, Radeon 9800 pro, AMD athlon 2600+, soundblaster audio card. Most people? "let me pick up a used car." me? nah, fuck that. give me a computer.

@da_667 @Mustardfacial @ra6bit @gsuberland @rusty__shackleford and now y'all are just straight up making me feel ancient. I think I still have my AWE32 around here somewhere. I definitely have a stack of Maxtor drives.

@da_667 @rootwyrm @ra6bit @gsuberland @rusty__shackleford I spent all summer sweeping floors in an auto shop when I was 15 to buy my first PC to play Unreal Tournament and Starsiege Tribes with my friends.
- Intel Pentium 2 300MHz
- 64MB RAM
- Voodoo 2 3000 AGP
- Soundblaster
- Some wild MSI motherboard that had multi colour PCI slots

@rootwyrm @da_667 @Mustardfacial @ra6bit @gsuberland @rusty__shackleford This conversation reminded me I need to take my meds.
Thanks ya'll.

@da_667 @rusty__shackleford (it's not as pants-on-head batshit offensive as the SSD pricing has become, but it's still enough to sting when you want 16 drives, and anti-scalping measures are making buying 16 drives from anywhere trustworthy very annoying right now)
@gsuberland @da_667 @rusty__shackleford
hopefully the anti-scalping will ensure you get drives from wildly different batches -- silver linings
