  1. I found these mule type shoes for $17.99. They are the ones that you just step into. I know it is getting cold but good to have some of these around. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013O000W/ref=pd_thx_sims_2?pf_rd_p=426287601&pf_rd_s=left-2&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_i=typ01&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1NHM9VTE8G2SYJVZHD2H [ATTACH]2543[/ATTACH] http://www.amazon.com/Skechers-Womens-Airy-Sneaker-White/dp/B0013O10HE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1225193018&sr=8-1 [ATTACH]2545[/ATTACH]
  2. I noticed how cheap that card is. How do you determaine which one works best with your pc? Or..can you use any one but of course with different results. In other words, what would make you pick that card over the more expensive ones? BTW...Is this one that you are buliding yourself (at home per se), or on the website?
  3. So basically a gaming pc for about $550. Although it is refurbed, the specs are awesome. Except for that video card mine is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 Graphics Card and is already 2 years old. And I have problems sticking after playing ToonTown after a while. (I am addicted I know. ). But another $100-$150 to upgrade that might not be so bad. Hmmmmm.....
  4. ROFOL!! 20gb hd? AWESOME! And you were able to play games on it...wow.
  5. I have noticed that it has started screaming, but I was not going to mention it. I know it is the fan but it does not seem to bother my son so nothing major. I tried cleaning it like I did with my other pcl but the way that it is made, it kinda of blew the dust deeper into the fan. Good to know that I am not the only one with a humming Dell. So because my pc is older the ram for it is so much more? I thought for a second that any ram could work, but I misunderstood. Rossman did say if it was a newer pc it would only run about $19 AR. You guys have been great, thanks so much. I am getting there, but still have not quite decided yet. Seems like it is almost not worth putting another band aid on this baby. We will see....
  6. I would probably last for another 2-3 years, but he would not be able to play the newer game. Wizard 101 and Toontoown already lag like crazy (Toontown has a leaking memory prob that they are aware of). And Thillville told him that his video card does not meet min requirements. But I hate to just throw this one to the dump, but looks like I have very little choice. Unless I spend boo koo bucks to upgrade it, sounds like he won't be playing. Can't really afford a new higher end pc. I have no idea what an agp slot is, what is the real name for it?? It is also a Windows XP service pack 3 version. I was told to stay away from upgrading to Vista for as long as possible.
  7. So wait I can hunt down memory from just about anywhere? I have been looking for ones like the ones that came in the pc. These are the ones on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Dell-Dimension-8200-8100-1GB-2x512MB-Memory-PC800-RDRAM_W0QQitemZ350115906296QQihZ022QQcategoryZ11152QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Dell Dimension 8200 8100 1GB 2x512MB Memory PC800 RDRAM and that is just for 1gb!! The pc can only go up to 2gb so I would rather do the whole 2gb. Ok..So if I wanted to replace my memory and it not be Dell brand, how do I know which for my pc? Also how to pick a good cheap video card? I install all of my own stuff, but I am not pc smart. If some one tells me what to buy I can put in it in, I just don't know what to buy...lol! So does everyone agree NO Black Friday pc for gaming?? Either buy a new totally different pc or upgrade my exsisting one?
  8. They had it during the WOOT-OFF for $19.99 a couple of days ago. So a few folks may have gotten one then. They seem to be getting cheaper, so maybe Amazon will drop soon too. http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=6269 Still a GREAT deal!!
  9. But isn't this still a very basic pc, pretty much what may be offered for BF? Lol....only a new motherboard..isn't that the brains? So your pc needs a needs a new brain along with everything else....
  10. Well, it is more for mini gaming...lol. My son won't be playing anything like Half Life or WOW, but he does play pc games and Toontown. But I am not going into the thousands for 9 year old. So what should I do?? He just wants to play his basic games without getting frozen or told that he does not meet min. requirements. So not really a budget, but not over a few hundred. Sticky situation I know....
  11. I know..I really hate that. I already have metallic rose with the paw print and I don't want her to have one like mine. LOL....she does was the coral one too. Sears is the only one who still carries it for pretty much the same price. With the new email sign up coupon. Oh well... OFF TOPIC: 1000th POST WOOT WOOT!!!
  12. Ok guys...I am in a situation. I just bought my son Thrillville for his pc. The game won't work because the video card is a Nvidia Geforce4 MX instead of a Geforce4 TI (in other words it is just a lil bit shy of meeting the min. requirements). I looked around and to get the video card just to make it work will be about $50. Ok, this is where it gets complicated, the memory is only 512 mb and on certain games it freezes. So I researched memory for it and to get it up to the min. requirements, it will be about $150. That is just to get it up to 1gb. Sooo..so far I am looking at at least $200 worth of upgrades JUST to make the computer meet the min. requirements. Other than those issues the computer is fine. I am worried that this is just the tip of the iceburg, cause new games will come out and be too much for this 6 year old pc. Should I upgrade my Dell computer or get a new (probably will be an Emachines) one from BF? The ones on BF will be basic by todays standards, but probably have more than I would upgrade mine with. Probably will come with at least 2gb of memory and a newer video card. But it will be probably be an Emachines brand, which scares me a little..lol. With my Dell I know what I am working with, but it is old. Should I upgrade my Dell computer or get a new (probably will be an Emachines) one from BF? BTW... I already spent $45 upgrading it last year to get it to 512 mb.
  13. I guess Amazon is not including the one my dd wants in the special. She wants the coral pink one and I don't see it.
  14. Yep, and my monkeys have been pending for about 10 minutes! They are not showing up in my account either...
  15. Nope..lol Well...it was ok: It was a crab incased in plastic keychain, an american flag mousepad, a broken animation station, and a targus carry all bag. The targus bag was the best thing in it and now I have no idea where it is.
  16. Yeah....I have only been WOOTING for almost 2 years, and I have only gotten it once.
  17. WOOT officially changes it: boc = Bandolier of Carrots bag o crap = bag o carp bag of crap = Banjo of Consternation ROFOL!!
  18. Missed the Bag O' Crap!! Ratz!! Had to be the kid off the bus..lol. Random carp $1.00 + $5 Shipping Condition: Crappy [ATTACH]2515[/ATTACH]
  19. Bandolier of Carrots = Bag Of Crap You Cant type Bag Of Crap in WOOT chat cause it comes up as something else. So the Bandolier of Carrots has been used (as well as many many other terms), to make up for it.
  20. LOL! Maybe..but it was $7.90 junk....
  21. WOW!!! I hate I did not see thst one before!!
  22. This a good deal. I just got the e280 (8gb) off of WOOT a few week ago for $49.99. I LOVE IT!! I am hoping that since they did not sell out of them that I will be able to pick another one up for less (maybe $39.99). Now I don't know....do I get this one or wait and see what WOOT will do. Hmmmmm.....
  23. I hate I miss this every time!!! They are way more on Ebay...grrr ROFOL!!!
