    Took a trip to Fry's after work today to get one of the Antec Earthwatts 500 they had on sale for $50. I asked the salesperson if they had Q6600's for $189.99 like online, and was told they would match that price. So, I couldn't help myself and grabbed one of those too. My wife doesn't understand. She says "don't we already have 6 of those"

    I have enough ram and a video card, now I just need another board. I think I had better wait a bit on that though

    i7 2600k l Asus P8P67 l 2x2gb Gskill l GTS450 l Venomous X l XClio 680

    Guys, we can do better than this. Time to get out the steamrollers for some heavy-duty crunching tomorrow in honor of Titinho's dad.

    Not necessary, just something I'd like to see to say with actions what we all feel.
    It's a tough time, SS is out of town and some machines down, and some other factors so it's tough
