Just got home with all the components of a yummy new shuttle system.. Radeon 9800 pro... 1gig Kingston RAM... lets hope I can get it all together until tonight...

If not - it was nice to know you guys.

Have fun and good luck.

Good choice on the 9800 pro, never used anything other than Nvidia upto buying that (300 quid as well ) but what a great card, i can honestly say it's one of the few major purchases PC wise i've actually been totally satisfied with.

Sitting at the wife's desk, fuming at the moment... the fecker at the store told me that there was thermal grease included with the processor.

Fuck... now I gotta go and get thermal grease somewhere.
Not like that store was around the corner or something - no, it's on the other end of the god damn city...

*curses some more*

Ivan - rejoin your outfit. You have been AWOL long enough.

ahhh the irony... when you have so much *other* grease available too, according to Turamber

Yummy, lubricants.

I considered working myself into a bit more debt and building a super comp, to 0wnz0r at tfc, etc. the other day... Then realised it's not worth it, until the local exchange gets bb enabled

Anyhow... we want pictures! Raaaah!
