Reasons to get a computer

You could always build one for a mate and get a few free pints out of it.

I do like the idea of a MAME set up though. It brings back memories of my mis-spent youth.

Ahh the old "Money burning a hloe in the pocket. Must spend NOW" attitude that has kept our economy going strong long after it should have crashed and then recovered. How about this. Since you have a perfectly good computer, put it in a cash mini ISA
NS&I direct do one that pays 5.8% tax free and guarenteed to pay 0.55% over base rate until april 2008!

i have my workhorse, a server pc, my media centre, and my apache/firewall PC all in my room. Yumyum

Steve also suffers from insomnia due to the excessive heat and noise generated from his collection of systems

Seriously though, how on earth can you stand having all that in your room?

i dont stand, i lounge
on my bed, on my chair, on the floor (when theres room)
Most of the time half the stuff isn't on though. My firewall pc is currently borked, and getting upgraded to 4gig CF card for a hard drive
