Get Vue and make it a Render Cow.

I don't meet the minimum specs with it, and I don't have the money to spend on the software.

I see a PC on ebay with these specs:

-Intel Q6600 Quad core 2.4 GHz Kentsfield CPU
-XFX nForce 680i SLI Socket 775 Motherboard
-8 Gb 4 x 2 Gb of G.Skill 800 MHz DDR2 RAM!!
-Vista Ultimate 64 bit
-500GB HD
-Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SUPERCLOCKED HDCP Video Card (SLI enabled)
-Ultra 22 in 1 "Media Dashboard"

And its current bid is at about $180

It doesn't get much better than that. But I probably won't be able to get it because the bid will almost definitely go over $1000, and my dad will never give me a loan that big.

You don't need a quad-core. ;/ Unless you plan on running SETI or some other multi-CPU capable app full-time...

Oh well, it's still good. The rest of the specs pwn anyway.

I just got a Dell 3300MP projector!

It's very nice, I just watched Major Payne on it last time. (For the 2nd time this summer. >_<) The only con is the lens makes the image too far up and to the right.

I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Geico.

I just got back from 311 and Matisyahu (opened for 311, but they played for like 2 hours...so it was basically two concerts).

Everything smells like smoke...my clothes, my hair, my breath, my hands. It was probably the second greatest concert event ever (Tool = #1 hands down). So win.

I was like that after a Coheed & Cambria/Avenged Sevenfold concert. Place turned into a giant hotbox...Amazing concert though.

I went to the SLC concert!

I hated Coheed, but Avenged Sevenfold was awesome!. I was drenched with sweat it got so hot in there.

I'm happy, I'll be in town for the Reel Big Fish/Less Than Jake/Streetlight Manifesto concert!
THAT'S going to be a good one.

LMAO, my bro don't know what a cock is.

We were at the pool and my brother obviously saw the quote on HM about coke being the most disgusting thing satan put on earth, but cock was pretty good (I can't remember who said it) and my bro was like "John, what's cock?" and I was like "Oh... uh... it's a kind of bird" and he said "no, it's some kind of drink!"

At that point my mom was sitting right there and called him over and told him. OMFG, what a noob.... rofl

Just ordered it today. I know JK is gonna hate me for that one. I should have it within the week.

It came today.

You can't see my face at all, and I'm too lazy to take another one, so that will have to do.

That's my graphics engine semi-running on an FX 5200 PCI.
It's the perfect machine to optimize my rendering on as it currently gets about 5fps. The fact that it runs at all makes me extremely happy because the card was literally trash. Hurray for working trash!
