Well, finally, thanks to a whole lotta help from a whole lotta cool dudes on the net (you guys!) My computer is on it's way, and I hope to update this with pictures and stuff so all of you see just how happy it makes me. ^_^
Long story short, my computer is about 7 years old, most of the parts anyway, and it needed a drastic overhaul so I could enjoy some of today's more demanding games, as well as do some photo and 3D editing.
