"but go online, check out what a brand new, 9800, XT, 256 mb Ram costs"
This is silly... first of all.. 256 megs is overkill... and if I am saying a full blown computer with the support of dell, dvd drive, cd-r drive, 512 dual ram, 9800 Pro, with a 2.8 p4... costs six hundred dollars... Why would you waste money buying it separately? Because it is an xt over a pro? Would you rather a brand new computer with the above specs and a pro or 4/6 of the cost just for an xt alone...?
AGain, $50 for other things... then get ANOTHER $50... Back in highschool I made sure to get money for my birthday and the "holidays".. I used that money to fun my games for the year... And AGAIN, it really will be $35 after it drops to 40 dollars which usually takes a week or 2... and then take $5 off by using a gamer's gift card at Best buy! $35! Nothing! Chump change! One group trip to the movies!!!
