There are definite performance advantages, but with the stock market tanking and an increasing lack of credit, even the most enthusiastic of us might give pause...

Yeah, I agree with that completely. I have been putting away hobby money for my new build. I have to have a new computer and my upgrade cycle is pretty long. I don't build alot of new computers. My current system is getting into the 5-6 year old range so this has to be a complete upgrade for me. I know it's expensive.

The market is very bad. I'm glad I'm out of it, but at the same time I had to actually take retirement and lock it up offshore. I couldn't take the risk on loosing everything. I'm glad I did too. The market is not just tanking...it's crashing, and I feel like we are in for the worst depression in history and no president or congress is gonna be able to stop it. I saw it coming two years ago. The Pelosi led congress has literally been breaking federal laws that have been on the books since the great depression to prevent exactly what is happening right now, and they are hell bent on continuing these practices for nothing more than political short term gain, and they are so completely inept they really have no clue on just how bad it's going to get.

I've heard people actually discuss stockpiling ammo in case a war would break out here on our own soil. Seriously! I actually read that and the longer the thread went on, the more people came into it and belived that could be a possibility. People are mad enough right now to take this country back by force. They've done it before. I almost dread the day of Nov 4th. On the 5th if we don't have somebody in there with common sense it's gonna be all of us that pay the price for it, becasue we'll be the ones who will have to rebuild from the ground up again. There will be nothing left of the Country we once had. You can't get any worse than that. There are no Mesiah's or god's that will be able to make magic happen, and the sky is not gonna open up and all of us magically wake up and everything ends up being a Uptopia. It doesn't work that way.
