I just ordered some stuff to compensate for my large penis

Ordered:
P4E 3.2GHz
1GB OCZ PC3200 EL platinum Edition Dual Channel Kit

Going into:
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
ATi Radeon 9800Pro AIW
2 36GB Western Digital 10,000rpm Raptors in RAID0
1 80GB Seagate 7200rpm
1 60GB Maxtor DiamondMax
Pioneer DVR-A07D 8+/8- DVD-RW
400W Silent PSU (this and the following make for a silent pc)
Zalman ALCu 7000 HSF
Zalman ZM80C-HP
Antec Sonata Case

Until that time, I am relegated to the notebook. My lap is burning already (and yes I am aware 915 chipset is also being released next week...but despite me not being in retail, I am still participating in AMD's retail training program mwahaha which may allow me to buy a 64-bit cpu/mobo and "much lower than retail" pricing..see, I have no loyalties )

I just put mine back together today. I think my PSU is shitting out

Over the last 5 years I became a lamo PC boy. I still have an iBook, but my main system are PCs now. Macs were sucking there for a while.

Heh, I'm looking at something like a Barton 2500+ based system at my next upgrade, within the next couple of weeks I hope. Mostly cause the price just can't be beat for that Chip. It's a good overclocker too.

I won't go for a silent PC. Heh, I like the noise.

dude...i would have a HTPC ready for that thing like that if I were you

And my stuff is paid for. I spoke to the guys at www.computraksystem.com out of Richmond, BC for like 15 minutes. Very impressed with the personable nature of them. So based on the fact they have the best pricing I have yet seen for what I was looking for and how friendly they are, I am boosting them for the Canadian folk
