I'm going to haev to build one of those projectors
Yeah, the computer I paid $700 for the parts for about 3-4 years ago still plays most games and I'm just using a 256mb radeon 9600. I never disagreed that comp gaming is a waste, just dont think consoles are useless either. I play rts and fps on comp, racing and halo on xbox. I haven't bought a game since halo 2 so havent upgraded my computer (and wont any time soon).

My pj will be done the weekend after i get all the ------- parts....they need to hurry up...

By now it's probably only the 10th best. Computers change to fast. $300 for a wii and a game is more interactive and fun then a PC anyday. Don't get me wrong PCs are fun but the wii interactivity and playability kicks ***. I have a gyro mouse that acts alot like the wii controller and even so the wii is more fun.

PS. That homemade projector is the ----.

btw I have a built computer (ordered parts from newegg) and play games on it. But before I spend $600 on a compy video card i'll go buy a used 360 for $300, hack it, download/rent and copy the games on a $1 disc. I would buy a pc before I bought a video game system, but i'd buy a video game system before i'd build a "mad tyte gaming rig"

www.lumenlab.com/ < - go to forums they have info on building

I'll post pics of mine playin **** when its done
where are you getting $1 DL dvd's from?

I got a $30 samsung dl/lightscribe/18xdvdr/rw +/-/dvd-ram/everythingelseexcept bdrom/hddvd and it's GREAT, found it on newegg. Don't need lightscribe or dvd ram but why the hell not for the price? Nice burning dvds in less than 5 minutes too

You take it apart, connect the drive to your sata port, boot into dos and run a couple programs to backup the firmware and upgrade to a hacked one. Download isos from the interweb, burn onto dl discs, and enjoy.
