Still love high-end electronics, hardware, and computers, but I have to admit that I lost a little bit of interest in it. My most recent investment was on this 3ghz HP, and I love it. I've always been more interested in building my own computers with the components that I specifically want, and having it come out cheaper, but these manufacturers are making it harder and harder to build a cheaper but equally or better performing pc. the reason why I say it's going to be hard to find much interest in people buying these is because of that reason. you can go to a typical retail store now and buy a nice complete computer setup for $600 or so, depending on what you need. I opted for the 21.3" flat panel, so it wasn't a $600 system by any means, but you know what I'm saying.
You couldn't be more right. I wish someone would give me a link to wtf the stuff looks like, or to a page that tells me how to do it from start to finish, since I am a paint dummy.
I mean cmon, all I did for painting my valve cover was buy 2 cans of red and 1 can of silver high temp brake paint and sanded down my entire valve cover and painted it over...its not bright anymore but it stays and doesn't chip lol.
But I want the shiny to stay darnit
