You may, but probably haven't, have notice that I haven't been on lately. Well, ladies and gents, my computer is slowly dying a slow, painful, crippling death and can no longer run Minecraft properly. Just the mere attempt of it has it choking and making other weird noises as the game crashes, then everything else crashes, and then the computer just shuts off. Luckily, I'll have enough jewcoins* to purchase a brand new laptop "for school" here soon, so I won't be gone long.

*I watch a ton of South Park and find that "jewcoins" is the best name for a currency ever.

Want a cheap high end computer? Go to your local computer store with some form of weapon and shout really loudly whilst waving the weapon around in an aggressive manner. Dont forget to shout for what you want and not some random gibberish. If all goes well, you could end up with a new computer, some extra cash and a free place in your local newspaper

I tried what you suggested, but it didn't work out. They gave me an iPad2, laughed at me, and took me to jail. I then threw the iPad away and went home after I paid my bail.

Frak Apple.

For a slightly less cheap (though still better than buying prebuilt) option, you could go to any independent PC parts/repair store, and ask them to build you something. Just tell them your budget and the kind of things you need it for and most places will be able to put one together for you very easily. It's not quite as cheap as doing it yourself, but it's a lot less stressful.

I've already got one picked out. She's a beauty. Upper mid-range i5, Nvidia GT 425m, 6 gigs of ram, 500gigs of hard drive space (plus my external hard drives). I just need to wait until my money comes in and she's all mine for the low, low, price of $700. My only concern is the Nvidia GT 425m. However, for what I want out of it, it should be much, much, much, more than enough. So, all in all, I'm very happy with it. I've even had the chance to test drive it, and it plays all the games I've been wanting to play on full graphics at full resolution. =D
