/edit.. watch the commercial

I had to portion all that cheese dip into a bunch of small containers and freeze most of it. None of you guys showed up!

The parts for my latest gaming hardware creation...

-- Intel Core2Quad Q6600 (SLACR, G0 Stepping) OCed to 3.3 GHz (9x multiplier, 367MHz FSB) on stock air cooling + Arctic Silver Céramique thermal compound
-- 4GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066MHz PC2-8500 C5
-- PNY XLR8 Performance Edition GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 (Core/Shaders/Memory: 500/1200/1600MHz OCed to 625/1600/2000MHz)
-- Sound Blaster Audigy SE (PCI)
-- Asus P5K Deluxe/WiFi-AP P35/ICH9R LGA775 system board
-- Thermaltake Damier V6000+ Chassis (DON'T buy this - it's a great quality box overall, but it's got WAY too many wires for fan control and other crap to really do a clean build, and detailed wiring instructions are few and far between. There are just too many other great cases out there with many fewer cables. For the next machine I'm using either a Lexa Blackline or an Antec Nine Hundred.)
-- Hiper 4M630 SLI-Ready 630-watt PSU (a very good PSU, but I'm going modular from now on.)
-- WD Caviar 500GB 7200rpm SATA300 HDD
-- LiteOn LH-20A1S CD/DVD/Dual Layer Multi-Writer (SATA)
-- MS Windows Vista Ultimate x64

I wish Microsoft would raise the WEI scoring limit as they say they're going to periodically. Scoring 5.9 on everything isn't revealing of a machine's true capabilities, as any decent modern gaming platform scores at that level or something very close to it.

Oh, I also bought myself a vanilla milkshake from McDonald's yesterday. Woohoo!

Since yesterday morning I have bought:

D-Link wireless router $40
Netgear wireless pc card $40
SBLive external sound card $50
new battery for laptop $120
USB/firewire pc card $20
Battlestar Galactica season 1 $50
AC/DC - Back in Black $8

food
Taco Bell $12

Overall I know I've spent well over $500. I'm nearly broke again but I'm cool with that.

That reminds me, I need to buy season 3, as it just came out recently on DVD (or is it still in pre-order?) Either way, I'm going to pick it up as soon as I can.

[deeder7001]

Season 3 has been out for a while already I think. I saw it yesterday when I was grabbing season 1.

[ScorLibran]

Ah, good to know. (Sometimes I feel like I've lived inside a PC chassis for months on end. )

[deeder7001]

I now have season 3 on DVD. For what it's worth, I use my computer for everything I do. I don't even own a working stand-alone DVD player. I have one but it doesn't work. Besides, I have a 19in monitor and a 13in tv. Which do you think I like better?

[Widdykats]

Yummy!

[ScorLibran]

That looks like some funky new handheld computer.

No, that's the perfect summer scent!

[ScorLibran]

Ah, cool.

But it's something to think about - technology design cues are at least occasionally taken from the fashion industry. The chassis for this PC I'm selling right now has a front bezel design modeled after the Damier checkerboard pattern made famous by Louis *******.

[Widdykats]

Cool beans! Does it smell great? Light..hint of grapefruit and citrus?

[ScorLibran]

Not really - more like warm silicon and fresh wiring insulation.

[Psythik]

If a cologne was made that smelled like that, I'd totally buy it.
