I was offered a Mac for a penny, still turned it down.

 

Joke's on you, you have no idea of the games you're missing out on from the golden age of Mac gaming (1990-97) when devs like Bungie were Mac-exclusive and the scene was overflowing with awesome games like Escape Velocity, Prime Target, Marathon etc.

 

I bet you even call yourself a gamer.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Some of them are surprisingly reasonable. Mac Pros are overpriced as hell, and their laptops can be really overpriced, but you have to remember that their laptops have IPS screens and a durable contruction. You probably can find the same thing for cheaper, though.

Agreed the Macbooks are the only thing they sell with a reasonable price.

Just...omg

 

 

I have a custom built gaming pc for sale. It starts with the black aluminum tower which is pretty large. Inside we have a pk5 deluxe motherboard. A 750w power supply. A 500g hard drive. 2x2gigs of zenith gold edition ram(which can easily and cheaply be upgraded). It has a GEForce 8800 GTX 768mb graphics card(which makes for pretty sick gaming). The PC is fast!!! Especially with the core 2 duo processor! This little banshee runs windows 7 like a charm! It is ready to go and I will dearly miss it. Also included are 2 23in widescreen monitors. One is a HP 2207 and the other is an acer. Both are very nice. This is a really nice setup, either for a serious gamer, or for someone who just wants a computer thats stout and won't give you problems and headaches. You can give me a call . My name is Jerry and I will happily text you pictures of everything as well!
