    You Don't Have To Be Rich To Be A PC Gamer

    Good job really, because I'm sure most of us aren't rich!
    There is a common misconception that you have to take out a second mortgage on your house if you want to get a computer that will run all of the latest and greatest games. I don't know who started the rumor that you need to spend $3000 to get a gaming computer. The truth is, if you are smart about it, you can easily afford to get a high-end gaming computer. Here are a few simple rules to follow to put a gaming computer within reach.
    [XYZ Computing]

    Good advice, but I'm sure most of us with our head screwed on know what we're doing anyway.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I think another misconception is that "gaming computer" means fastest, bestest newest. I think that my PC which is not bank breaking in any way (see sig) would pass as a gaming machine. For me anyway, those rules are more like common sense than anything.
