Bah

They already charged my card so I cannot change the order.

Restocking will kill me so I guess I am sticking with the Xclio.

Well I can always take the 750 PC Power out of my Tech station and put it in his rig and use the Xclio in my Techstation if I my Spidey Sense starts tingling.

I agree. Too bad my new build has a black theme so I didn't really have a choice...

Soooooo

My Spidey Senses started tingling about the HDD...after all the 40 GB Spinpoint is IDE for crying out loud.

A 1 TB Sammie F1 is one the way. I figure I'll load all the Kid oriented media on his box and that way I can free up some room on the Media PC for non-kid related Media.

Yeah that's it...it's for the good of the family that I'm buying this 1TB drive.

Actually I'm proud of myself for not getting that G Skill SSD I had in the cart.

Talking Where is it?!?!


The Mobo and CPU should be arriving today. HDD and RAM Tomorrow. And if I am lucky the CPU cooler will also arrive tomorrow.

I want my stuff. Where is my stuff. Deliver my stuff. I need to do stuff with my stuff!

Congratulations.

And I've used Xclio PSU's a while back. They're pretty reliable units.
