The SuperCONSOLE Project

So I was playing my PSX emulator and came to a decision to create the "SuperCONSOLE". Here is how im going to do this :). I will be getting roughly 2400$ USD to spend on a new computer. I will take about 2000$ of that and actually BUY a new pc and use the other 400$ to "make" a "SuperCONSOLE". Buy 3 controllers (I have 1 already, AirFLO PC) I will need 3 more of those thats about 60$. Then I need a "Console Cool Looking" case, About 180$" And maybe a bigger hardrive... Say 200GB... The hardrive in this pc is 55.8 GB which is still a lot, but not enough :). So, that is my plan. The design will be unique though, the USB ports from this PC will be aligned like any other consoles gamepad ports 2 on the left 2 on the right spaced out nice and even. I will use this PC as a base for it all. Also, the "SuperCONSOLE" will hold 50+ consoles and over 10,000 games when I finish. The specs are below:

AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 1.68 GHZ
768 MB RAM
255.8 GB HDD (2 HD's [55.8 / 200 ])
Basic VIA Soundcard
Radeon 9550
4 AirFLO PC controllers
DVD-RW+/CD-RW+
Headphone/Mic Jacks
17" Monitor (Like A Television Though)
5.1 Surround Sound
CD Tray (Duh)
Floppy Drive (Hidden)

I will even skin my windows when I do this to make it authentic :D, Man I can't wait to start on this project...

That's my computer now basically. Except mine only cost about 1,100. And yours will probably be a lot more upgradeable than this hunkajunk.

god hates me. I know its true cause every time I try to run seemingly random programs, all i get are fucking script errors! The disc tray on my cd burner drive broke just like my xbox tray, its riddled with viruses from my sweet pr0n. Why hath thou betrayst me, pr0n? I would put a sad icon here, but my fucking comp is even bugging out on java script and shit. I cant even run AIM. I know my dad could let me have some cash for a new comp, but hes a fucking accountant. his job revolves around keeping money and shit. Hes a tightwad. He clips coupons and goes to the market, and returns truimphant that he saved....15 dollars!!!!!!!!!! Thats his fetish I guess....^_^;

My mom gets two newspapers just for the extra coupons.

You know, this shouldn't really be a competition to see who's family uses more coupons. Only time we ever use coupons is for pizza.

Alienware computers are fucking expensive. Just build it yourself, and you'll get a better machine for half the price.

I built my own computer and it sucks ass for half the price. Actually more of like 1/5 the price. :lol:

Thats the last time I try to make a computer with just $500...

naa man I can get one for a cheap price. My mom works for a company that repairs super computers and servers and other things like that. So I get discounts for tons of things.
