System Upgrade.

[sobrique]

It's bad when I start looking at computer upgrades, and think about it in the same sort of setting as 'hmm, I _could_ get that on my credit card...'

You see, I've seen these:
The Tyan Thunder K8 Quad ($500)
Opteron 850 processors ($1500 ish each, provided you buy in multiples of 1000)

And of course, then you start thinking about the prices for 32Gb of DDR3200 memory, and 4 way 160Gb SATA drives...

This could get expensive. But it would mean _the_ ninja bastard system of all time.
Well, at least until the next big new tech...

The temptation is great isn't it.

Especially after Egg informed me recently that they are happy to give me loans well into the 5 figures.

Getting the loan isn't the problem - I've currently got several credit cards with 'useful' credit limits (read 5-10k range). And 'low percentage' balance transfers (it's good really. get a new ccard. Balance transfer at 0%. Sweet).

The _real_ problem is that they expect me to give it back again. Bastards.
