I'm torn on whether or not to purchase this system . . . I have an opportunity to buy, from Ebay, a dual socket 370 motherboard, with a matched pair of 1GHz P3 CPUs and 4x512Mb PC133 SDRAM. I would then need a new PSU, an SCSI disk drive, and an SCSI cable. This will set me back £61.85 in total. I can knock off about £17 by using an old, slow IDE drive I have lying around, but I'd RATHER use the SCSI one.
Do you think it's worth it? I had myself almost ready to buy yesterday, but then the auction ended. Now it's back, and £5 cheaper.
I'd appreciate any advice, I really can't decide whether to get it.
I do have the money, but I need driving lessons, driving tests and then insurance/fuel money . . .If you get the machine you will FIND new ways to save up for the other upcoming expenses as i know you have been looking forward to getting mobile....

I say go for it !

But i'm a true Capatilist...if i'm not living and spending one step beyond my means i start to feel guilty... do you NEED the COMPUTER? it sounds like you need to spend the money on more important things; insurance and gas are not cheap.Well, I went ahead and bought it last night.
Cash is starting to FLOW in a little more now so I think I will be ABLE to afford my car-related costs.
I don't NEED the computer, in the same way I don't NEED to get mobile . . . I'd just like it.
Thanks for the advice guys.
