In Medicine, its unethical to accept money from families like that. It kind of looks as if you are taking a bribe to give preferential Tx to the Pt. Now if you ended up in the will some how... GOOD TO GO!!!

If it was me, I probably wouldn't take it. I Do Not like taking anything free, handouts or anything. Not even from my parents. Thats prob also why I don't have much money (also cause of my audio addiction...but anywho)

I make more than my parents! LOL!!! Put together...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bawling.gif.6287aa5d1d447c8af063fc9466e822ef.gif Sad, I know....

Only problem is I have an Audio addiction, Camera addiction, Jet-Ski Addiction, SCUBA Addiction, Rope-Rescue Addiction, Medical-Program-For-My-PDA Addiction and a Sit-On-My-***-And-Post-On-CA.com Addiction...

So I stay broke and live paycheck to paycheck. Gotta love the military pay!!!

I say take it. As long you're grateful to them and do indeed use it on things related to school it's a very good idea. Situations where people help someone out without expecting things in return are few and far between. You should be sort of honored that they think so highly of you.

i can barely afford to goto community college, if someone offered to pay for my schooling i would not hesitate , but thats just because of my situation...

Are these people that rich? What family is it?

I am more than grateful, and well shocked that they would even think of me. I go to a small state university and have to take out loans for even that. Any sort of help would pwn! This family is pretty well off, doctors, lawyers and their dad was a senator. Not sure why they give money out for education, but man if they would like to help me who am i to argue. I talked to the boss (she is in here working tonight) and she said that if its some sort of education/scholarship/grant type thing there shouldn't be a problem. So hopefully the family will call and talk to her on Monday and help me out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I dont expect that it will be very much, but shit being a poor student any little bit helps.

That's a pretty beefy price. Where are you getting these items? I assume when you say retail, you mean a local store?

Try http://www.newegg.com

I love that site, fast shipping, great service, great products... See if you can get a cheaper price there.

On the other hand, that setup sounds VERY nice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Here is what im listening to and the small amouunt of my music collecction thats on my laptop.. Wilco fcking pwns!

Ahh okay. That's still a wicked setup. How much was the case? One thing with cases is, I always made sure to do a search for cases that DON'T contain a power supply, because quite frankly those power supplies **** anyway, so it'll save money to buy one without and add another later... but I mean, my case was 16 dollars off of newegg. I wouldn't spend much more than that on a case. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Case is spendy @ $124..but it looks friggen sweet and its an antec. I really like antec cases and have always figured a case is a part of a comp that will outlast the rest..so its best to get one you like. Most the cases ive owned have had at least 2-3 mobo/cpu/gpu combos in them. It doesnt have a PSU, thats why the antec 550watt psu is listed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Im hoping 550 will be enough for the 7800's and extra HD's if i want them.



Antecs always have nice quiet fans, great cooling, solid steel construction, the nice extras like removable drive cages, tooless for the most part, and antec provides great customer service.
