Correction:

I have been informed that while Flint was the one who got injured, it wasn't he who started up the collection.

Nailz started it.

As for my job state, I have two jobs...
But seeing as having a house,m car and food (in that order) is more imporant than amvs.

I guess I'm just outta luck for now.

I have been thinking of buying a little Emachine and putting some of the parts from my old pc into it (what didnt get totaled). But that's still 500 bucks I don't have at the moment.

Oh well.

Thanks for some of you being quite kind about it though :O!

I was under the impression that E-machine's sucked for that very reason... They couldn't be expanded. The parts were attached to the motherboard and no expansion was possible, thus the low price. Well, at least that's what i was told by like 3 different people (oddly enough for no reason in particular; i wasn't even looking for a computer at the time). Not sure if that's still in their business platform anymore though...

I have an eMachines T2080; have had it since summer of 2002.

In the time I've had it, I've added to it:
- one Western Digital IDE hard drive
- one Seagate SATA hard drive (in an external enclosure because I ran out of bays)
- one PCI SATA/RAID controller card
- one Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy (sound card)

I don't know about things like RAM and CPU, but in the eMachines manual I got with this machine, I got nice, detailed instructions for removing and replacing both (including the HS/F). So I'd be <i>very</i> surprised if it was impossible.
