A very generous friend of mine recently built a new rig, and offered to ship me his previous gaming computer, which should be more than sufficient to play WoW and other games at medium-high settings
I've already purchased Portal 1 and 2, the entirety of the Half-Life 2 series, Magicka, and of course I have WoW and a free copy of Diablo III (eventually :P). Now if only I could afford Skyrim....
The computer should be here and ready to go by Friday of this week, and I AM SO EXCITED. No more 13.3" screen at 1280x800 res, no more 4fps in any and all raid environments, and not nearly as many hardware restrictions on games
FINALLY!
EDIT:
Portal 2: $7.49
The Orange Box: $9.99
Magicka: $2.50
Skyrim: $40.15
Borrowing money from your younger brother to buy the aforementioned games: priceless.
