Just one question mate can I have your job!!!! You must get paid bloody well to afford systems like that

[VH-CC1]

lol, cant have it sorry

[creator2003]

Yeah ive always thought craig you earn to much ,but its what you do with it really ,not the job ,if you save and put your moneys into your hobby like us ,then yourselfs would be able to get pretty much the same stuff ,instead of coffees down the road i have mine at home ,that saves like $3 per time ,i dont catch buses to get to work i work from home ,theres $50 aweek ,i dont go out drinking every weekend with mates that saves over $100 per week ,add that up and you start to see that its not the job its the life style that lets us spend more
ive just gone out and brought this week other graphic card 8600gtx thats couple of weeks saving my coffees up ,so now ive got a 7600gt for sale that will go into upgrading the next card etc ,
simple really

[VH-CC1]

mike ya hit the nail on the head..

Come on supermarkets dont pay heaps unless ya the manager..

[VH-CC1]

My advise to anyone wanting systems like the one's i'm building..

Set a goal i.e. This month 8800GTX, and save, a splash out here and there a lil is ok, but dont go overboard..
