Discovered Unreal Tournatment and Mech Warrior on my Dell 686 and dial up, got killed....
Next step was to build my own comp, did that and went to cable and life was fun, used to play Mech until 2 in the mornings at times, belonged to a team and we fought league battles in several different leagues.
Mech died and I no longer game, did modify my comp with a few upgrades and added a 300 gig HD and another 300 external HD and revamped the comp for music/video mostly.
Now building one for the garage and will run the 300gig external HD on it, I have that HD full of music and it should replace the 5CD changer I'm using now.
Just waiting for the right game to come along and I'll build another comp, lucky enough to have a wacko friend who constantly upgrading his and I get to hear what works and what doesn't.
I just wait till he gets a system that works well and build one that's just a hair better...
Have fun, it can be habit forming...
