Also, it's 10 times the PC I would get for the same price at Best Buy.

Time is money, my friend. Also, not frying my MB with static electricity is a blessing as well...

Lame excuses honestly which deprives you of very useful information and experience going forward in both life and career, but I understand and I am not free from making the same lazy choices. Every time I go to a mechanic, I wish I would just learn to do it myself. That is, if it isn't summer in Houston at the time. I don't have the will power to learn to fix my car in 100 degree weather.

(That's 100 degree temperature, btw, NOT heat index. Add 114% humidity to that... and that week long heat wave of mid-90 degree temperatures that hit the east awhile back can bite me. Houston IS a perpetual heat-wave. )
