Frankencomputer shall rise!

Yes, I know that Dr. Frankenstein was the creator and not the monster, but that is unimportant. The main drawback of playing Orange Box games on my computer is that... well, laptops are not supreme gaming computers. Toss in the fact that I got my computer for free, and I'm lucky I can play Spiderman on this dinosaur. Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2 Episode 1 actually do run on this computer, but with fps ranging from 2 on especially laggy scenes to about 25 on a good day. Half-Life 2 Episode 2 quits out before the screen un-blurs, Team Fortress 2 gives me the Blue Screen Of Doom after a bit of gameplay on duel_duel2 and won't even let me on any other levels, and Portal freezes when the first portal opens up after one minutes and forty seconds of gameplay. So, as you can guess, I am pretty fed up. After a bit of looking for desktop computers on Craigslist and complaining to my friends about high prices, they came upon this decision. Provided I provide the funds, they would construct a computer using only soil and raw eggs. Well, actually using parts bought off Nueg, but you get the picture. I highly anticipate this SUPERCOMPUTER OF EPIC PROPORTIONS. Whatever it is, it'll be better than my laptop. This is Jimbo, signing off.
