Richard spent this evening researching computers. After much contemplation, reviewing and so many other annoying little things, we finally settled on what we wanted.

I’m not 100% happy with the look of my computer or monitor since I wanted them both to be solid black and they do have white on them, but they were $200 cheaper (and have way more RAM and space on them AND the monitor is 23 inches instead of the 20 I was going to get) so I will DEAL WITH IT. Wow, that was a long sentence.

Richard’s computer is pretty similar to mine except the video card isn’t as good and it doesn’t have firewire, both of which are not a big deal. He didn’t need a monitor because the one he currently has is still really good. We both got black mouses (mice?) and keyboards. I’m excited about that. My white mouse has turned a lovely shade of yellow and my keyboard has so much crap down inside of it that is impossible to remove (even when I pop all the keys off and try to clean it that way).

Here is mine:

I will be staring out the window each and every day just waiting for the delivery man to bring me my new toy! Weeeeooooowwwww!

We paid a total of $1822.88 and our budget was $2000 so that means we came in under by $177.12. CHA CHING! We’ll probably use that extra money for anti-virus software. Or a natural sleep aid. Or something.
