    If there was no chance of NOT succeeding then there wouldnt be a feeling of success when finished.

    The good part is most of the eqipment if purchased right should come with a warranty and a lil tech support. The internet is also chalk full of good information regarding hardware compatability and user reviews, so you can read those before you buy.

    Squid you aint turning into one of them Emo kids are ya

    You could rebuild your current machine as a Media Center PC and then just buy a XBOX360 and have it connect over. That way you have a total multimedia expeirence and you can play some awesome games with me

    Or he could build an awesome PC and play some awesome BF2 with awesome folks like the rest of us instead of a console-lovin' sissy-boy.

    This is reason enough to steer clear of the Xbox 360:

    Or if you really want to be scared:

    Why do all myspace pages look like someone whiped multiple rear-ends with them?

    And why given that fact, is it still so popular? Have some dignity, people. Learn HTML and make your own website.

    Myspace pages look like they were made by kids in Junior High as part of some computer class.
