However, you'll be screwed if they say "no".


This has happened...

However, your parents on occasion will need the computer quite vitally... :P

The easiest way to get parents to agree is to make them see the reason behind it, obviously. What worked for a friend of mine was that he joined a big schoolproject, which he needed a good computer for. They developed graphics etc for the whole schoolyear. Of course, this will only work if you're in pretty much the same position as my friend was.

That's all I can think of, since I always paid for everything myself. If I can think of something later I'll post here. :)

**I would keep this suggestion in mind. **

I always find it useful to either give a good reason behind getting the certain thing. Or find a way to pay for it myself. That or ask if you can pay part of it and over time pay them back. via installment plan :cool:
