no, i understand completly. i did for years to "slow" build and plan rigs and those were the most
expensive builds i had every done. technology changes so fast, price points are not stable,
and the market idea is always changing. right now, i'd have 12 PC's with different systems
and cooling solutions, just to do it.
so the waiting game is not for me, maybe for you... but you'll write a book on what to have,
what to get and plunk down the cash and, aww shucks something else is better, faster
or more brillant.
budgets are to limit how much you will not try and go over. i have bought many basket
cases on the cheap, because they lost interest, can't pay for it, or went a different direction.
thats how i fund my habit.
if you see a plan of three months till done, wait it out. wait for 6-months till done, you are on that
edge of switch-a-roo technology. wait for 9-months plus, get you budget and inflate it..
new tech is always expensive tech. and in three months it has settled in price level, because the
next new gadget, everyone has got to have...
dunna know how old you are, but it reminds me of the Dr. Suess story "The Star-Belly Snitches"
a rotating line of bodys changing and changing and changing. the only thing that came out
of it, was the guy applying and removing the stars from the Snitches made out like a bandit..
you do what you gotta do, my opinion is make your best low-dollar deal and pull the trigger
now
