Hey: You see, here is the problem. I'm a married man with 3 kids(teens). I
love to use my computer for gaming, I just get alot of relaxation and
satisfaction from it.
But, my system is so outdated its no longer funny. 1.4 athlon, 512mram,
GF-3...etc,.

My wife says no new system while this one is still running...

Hmmm I says...........

How can I, how shall I put this, HELP my system give up the ghost?

Is there a way to end my systems life without it looking like it happened on
purpose? Hey, don't judge me on this, Im really a good husband and a great
Dad...... :))

Anyway, its worth a shot.........I can't play any of the new games out, and
certainly none of the "must haves" about to be released...You gamers out
there know what I'm talking about.

Thanks.

It would be a travesty to purposefully cause damage to something that's
working. I'd never in a million years do something like that.

However, you can easily take advantage of your wife's computer
illiteracy. Your computer isn't going to work without the mobo power
lead plugged in, right? *Wink wink nudge nudge say no more*

Then you get to get a new computer AND you can harvest the old ones for
parts because you didn't actually break anything.

Cyde, I like your style.

Hey guys, honestly I'm not whipped...no really Im not. ;)

Listen, wives just don't understand the need to game...well most don't
anyway.
She will never think its a good idea to get a new computer as long as she
can play Word Racer on Yahoo...

Man, I feel dirty....Better get over it quick though if I want a new system
anytime soon.

You married her, you figure it out :P

Is she cute? Pretty smile? After she dumps you, toss me her number,
I'll get you some RAM or something, k?

Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary;
it's highly superfluous.
