I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

A04 is the retail model and 104 is OEM. No Hardware diff. Just firmware update differences.

Yup. It was "Buy A Part Every Paycheck" for about 3 months, and if you search for good deals, you can often find them... some of it, like the dvd drive and case/fans/power supply, I bought off of friends that upgraded their stuff, and other items, such as the geforce 4, the hard drive, and the audigy, I waited till the prices dropped/they went on sale. Now that i sist and calculate it out on pen/paper/reciepts, it came out to about $1250, my mistake. Teach me to add in my head, sheesh.
