i got a emachines computer for free, because the dude down the road freaked out about something and beat the hell out of it. everything was still good except for the case (naturally) and the cpu fan, and i already had both just sitting around

i got this monitor in front of me (dell 21" crt) for 25 bucks at the goodwill
