My pacience and my willpower is on a test. The mainboard and graphics card aren't available where I ordered. The next cheapest shop has them for 30€ more. The question is: Can I endure 2 weeks or spend the extra 30€ to get the parts sooner?

@broniebrown Yes you can. Heck you can buy Civ5 ( complete ) for 30 Euro's and spend the next 2 months trying to achieve perfection for your civ ( for some reason I do not think you will like Bismarck, but that is besides the point ) and then go "Ohhhyea... hardware parts" ... ... ... Also make a comic about the vet pony buying a new scanner or something, self assembly required... and poof... 2 weeks later, no sweat

@critialcloudkicker Sure. Sure. The other variable in my decision model is that I have time now to play with it. The problem is that I don't know what will happen to my free time in 2 weeks when my lectures start. On the other hand I don't want to be someone who throws his money out of the window for being impatient.

@broniebrown So I guess the question boils down to "probability of putting together a computer in 2 weeks" versus "30 euro's"

@critialcloudkicker Yep.

@broniebrown Origin has a new free game. Would shorten your 2 week wait cycle a little bit.

@critialcloudkicker Origin?!? No way I'll install this on my computer.

@broniebrown I used to be like you untill I was at a LAN party and finally found someone to do those BF3 co-op things with. I placed it under curveilleance though. It did not do anything hinky. They asked me to fill out a customer review form though, gave them a piece of my mind, generally because I have a lot of friends who have your opinion on it

@critialcloudkicker It's bad enough that I fell into the steam trap.
Friday, 10-Oct-14 19:10:24 UTC from Choqok-
@broniebrown And why is Steam so bad ? I mean I can get behind the "EA ... Scary ... No soul" bandwagon though

@critialcloudkicker I'm more against digital copies of games and games that are bound to an account. I have only steam because of the humble bundles (and Half-Life 2).

@broniebrown Although I can see that being used as an arguement not to get Origin, it is also a statement that will sooner or later simply die and vanish. I am not saying that is a good thing per-se. But countless of computer games, and almost all of the 7th and 8th generation console gamers have given up on only wanting physical copies of games. When grapes hits the fan like in 1984, should there ever be a video game crash again, and digital resellers go down ( whether Steam, Origin, Uplay, or any other )... Yeah... I do not think that customers will get the short end of the stick. If they do though, now that is where things will get interesting
