That's pretty cool. Basically sponsored PC use. You have to view 30 hours worth of ads per month? I guess I could leave the ad program running a couple of days

I'd like a free pc! I'd like a dedicated game server on my connection and I could use the monitor as a second display for this PC. They can show all the ads they want.

Actually, after thinking about it I realized that I wouldn't. It'd be a hassel.

Most people regard me as the dark and immoral side of Massassi. At least I'm getting what I want out of life.

It costs $1,400, and it's only a 2.4 Celeron? My computer cost that much, and it was a 2.533 with an ethernet connection ready to go.

It's got 56K dialup :S to be honest I'd probably go for that, swap the motherboard of that with mine (500MHz) and turn the other computer on for about 2 hours a day.
