....for herself in her daycare area in the basement. Currently we have a decent system that she uses for her business stuff and I play games on it, etc. Plus we have the ibook which we use for wireless surfing, picture stuff, and video editing. I also have an 800mhz PIII system that I think she gave to some friends of ours to store while we were moving, and I think she wants them to keep it. I also have an old 400mhz celeron and board that sits in a drawer.
All she would use it for is running some excel spreadsheets, playing music, and some interent surfing.
Should I:
A: let her use my gaming rig down there and just trudge down into the basement when I want to play, hoping she hasn't deleted my Far Cry saved games file and replaced it with some teddy bear songs?
B: let her use the iBook, buy a 512mb stick of ram and a copy of Office 2004, and hope that the grubby little munchkins don't get ahold of it and drool into its slot dirve
C: Get back the PIII, install a hard drive, install XP, and buy a cheap display
D: Do C, but instead of buying a cheap display, use my 17"CRT down there and buy myself a nice 17" Dell LCD
E: build a cheap new system from scratch and figure out the display situation.
F: Buy her an abicus.

The better the stuff you give her, the better the head you'll get.

I saw your edit.
In most stereotypical marriages it is the female portion of the equation that controls the sex.

Buy her a cheap E-machine? My dad has like, a fleet of those damn things. One in every room of the house! They're kind of crappy but do basic computing. Think he got em for $300 bucks each...don't think that came with a monitor though.

Didn't make sense when I read it again so I edited. :hs:
The women who aren't married are getting all the sex, the ones who are control the men they are with like puppets.
True story.

Amen on her not knowing the rules of beinig married. You don't do stuff to get the mythical "head", it's more likely you'll see a unicorn, but you do stuff to get nice periods of silence. A wonderful few minutes of time with no bitching at you or you being annoyed to do something.

So she'll be in a candle lit room that smells good listening to Barry Manilow as I massage her while she's rejecting me?

Thought about it actually. But that plus a monitor would be a little pricey right now I think. And I would still need to get a copy of office for it. For that much I could build myself a nice sff pc.

Depends on if its configure to order or straight up out of the box. I think you can get a standard one relatively soon. The CTO's are a few weeks out. Its the Shuffles that are severely backordered.

D gets my vote.
D. I had an 800mhz PIII system that I gave to my daughter when I built my current computer. It worked fine for quite a while, but it seems that the motherboard died. We haven't decided for sure whether to replace the motherboard, or just buy a new computer.
