I am stuck in a pickle, idk what to do.

soooo i recently sold stuff and got some extra moneyy, nowww i was thinking. Maybe i can buy computer parts for my computer in my room, then i was thinking, black friday is next month, maybe i should wait till then and get some sick deals on black friday and save money, then i was thinking. The NARBC show is next sat the 9th, this is where i get stuck lol, i feel as if i should save the money for parts for my PC but im sure ill have money by black friday, and its not everyday where u go to such a big show of famous breeders and pick a snake in person, so what you think, should i just buy myself another addition of a ball python? i thinking either a pastel or a spider. =p

Decisions, decisions, I'd do the show, you mayn find a great couple deals :)

lol thats what im thinking, like my uncle i guess is getting my a free graphics card, so my computer will atleast be up and running and i could wait a month or 2 for the parts, and i could possibly get a nice snake from brian at BHB and pick it up there, soooo idk maaaaybe ill do it lol

get the snake!!

I vote snake! But you know we're biased :halohorn:

hahah thats what im thinking, i got about $150 to spen, which sucks sadly cause i donnt have many options of ball python morph to get, buut i was thinking pastel or a spider, and it'll be male, im not a pro with the prices yet tho x.x

Go to the show! My husband and I will be there for our honeymoon!

Go the show, you will get the best deals on that means the most for your money. Computer stuff is always on sale somewhere, plus you'll get money for the holidays and the after Christmas sales will include computer stuff.

I too am a computer enthusiast who recently got back into reptiles. For me it is a opportunity cost. What am I giving up to get that thing I want? It really depends on where your heart is at the moment. I've already maxed out my PC hardware, so it is easy to pick up a new BP (just picked up a Bumblebee). But if your hardware needs an upgrade, then thats the tough decision. Just out of curiousity, what hardware are you looking to upgrade? Do you game? Do you bench test? What exactly are you looking to achieve with your next hardware upgrade?

Snake hands down ;)

i do game actually, i play World of warcraft lol, the only thing my computer really needs to start working again is a new graphics cad, which im told my uncle will be able to give me a nice 1 for free, the memory and stuff is just extra cuz WoW is really playable on anything, so i figured black friday and xmas is comming up so my decision is, im going to wait till christmas time to upgrade my computer, and get myself a Spider Ball Python from Brian at BHB reptiles =D

well I got both problems solved for you lol I got pastels and some pc parts. I build pcs for fun and as my extra winter time make moeny hobby and th snakes are my other love lol. I play WOW on either 2 of the pcs I got ( one was made from scrape parts lol) I breed my pastel to a normal hoping for a female pastel andgot 2 males ( figures when I wanted a female right ) lol

lol nice, iv'e always wanted to buid my own computer sooo thats gonna be happening sometime eventually lol, but i recently fell in love with snakes and found them kinda addicting hah.

I'm actually using some of my spare parts to do a build (E8400, Corsair H50, Antec 300 case, 1000W PSU, 5770, 2x1Tb HDDs, 4Gb ram and Win 7 with COA sticker) to fund my next reptile related purchase. I know someone who does custom acrylic cPC ases, so I want him to do a custom BP enclosure out of black acrylic (all sides but the front viewing window will be black). Just before getting into reptiles, I dropped a lot of $$ into my rig and regret it! I could have picked up a Clown BP!

Knytemare, I highly recommend getting an ATI 5770 video card. it will suit your needs for gaming without breaking the bank (should be able to find one for about £120).
