And half the parts were recycled from the old computer. I'm trying to keep it under 3k. But with 3 28" monitors - I'll go over. My monitors are in need of an update. The rest of it is high end but not stupid high end. Like.. I just don't need an $800 video card for the one game I play (Starcraft 2.)

My last pc cost about the same, and it's going on 7 years. My macbook pro was $3k and is still doing very well 7 years in as well. I'll drop as much as it takes to build quality machines. I feel like I get my money out of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Philips has what looks like a decent 40" 4K monitor that I've got my eye on. I use 2 19" & a 30", but the 30" has developed a nasty yellow streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Llama Posted July 27, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Just so everyone knows, Colorado is freaking beautiful. The views are amazing. The people are wonderful.. Well, I suppose they like money... so, theres that.. They are nice though. I had a conversation with a retired guy today while on a walk. Really interesting guy. I would have liked to talk longer, but we had things to get done. Had some of the best food the other night. Killer caviar and oysters at a place called Jax. I will definitely be back there! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yeah, Colorado is amazing. I'm heading to Colorado Springs in a little over a week to visit my sister-in-law's family. Oh crap, I forgot that today was TACO TUESDAY!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty to be said for Colorado. They're pretty friendly to retirees, if I'm not mistaken. They don't take so much of a bite on your finances as some other states. Maybe you're not retiring, you certainly don't look it, but you will someday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really depends on what you do, and where you do it... It's easy to spend money in Fort Collins. But, there are plenty of other areas to live in. Wellington, for instance has very reasonable prices for property and is only 15 minutes away from FC. Fort Collins is roughly double in cost... But, there are many more things to do. (better restaurants, shopping, overall better atmosphere) So, we will be living in Fort Collins for the next year. We will be building a house somewhere... Decided to rent for the first year to get an idea of what is around, and where the best place to put down roots will be. Likely Fort Collins, or Wellington depending on what happens in the next 6 months with a variety of other things. Schools are very important to us at the moment. We'll see... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Growing up in Colorado was great, so much to do and experience. I would move back in a heartbeat, but not to the Denver metroplex. That area became so overpopulated in a short period of time. Mel, I think you will enjoy that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a job in Wisconsin, and have a house to sell. But, we are in the process of renting a nice place in FC. So, once again, two house payments at one time... Oh well. The house should sell quickly, and I'll be out here permanently. I did look up some hardwood dealers close by. I am looking forward to visiting them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodenskye Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 If a dish calls for cilantro and I have I will use, but I am not running to the store to make sure I add it to the dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blows my mind. the 27" I bought 6 years ago for $1300 is garbage compared to the one I just bought. My 22 inch monitors are going to goodwill or something.

Its the only food that does that to me. I love canteloup! Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
