Fry's is a dangerous place for someone like me. You can find all the parts you need to build a computer from scratch or upgrade one you already have. I've only ever gone into a Fry's once without buying something (something must have been wrong with me that day).
But now it's reached an absurd level. I've got a friend who went there tonight and called me to tell me about the current deal on a motherboard and processor (2000+ Athlon XP with MB for $69.00). So I got him to buy it for me and I'll pay him for it tomorrow. I'm going to use it to upgrade my game system. However, that will leave me with a 900MHz Athlon and motherboard. I have a spare case and hard drive. I may build another system from the cast-off parts (although I have no idea what I'll do with it). But it seems a waste to just let the parts sit there. Maybe I can find someone who's using an old computer and needs/wants something a little faster.
I'm almost tempted to think that drugs would be cheaper than computers...
