Thats so true! Id rather build a cheap-ass comp and play old skool games.
You could build a $300 comp (Duron 1.6 GHz, 256 MB PC2100, asus mobo w/ onboard video, [or cheap pc chips mobo w/ a gforce 2 or radeon 7000], 40GB HDD, CDROM, Cheap $20-30 case)
and then play all the Diablo II, Starcraft, and Solitare you can handle.
And the monitors and keyboards and shit? Fuck, find some 14" CRT at a garage sale for 20 bucks, along with a $2 keyboard/mouse combo. And speakers are a dime a dozen. Hell, you could use your CD players' headphones. Theres your surround sound. Then borrow your friends XP CD and reinstall it every 30 days. If you just had a few games and some IM progs, its not that bad.
