I ordered a Case, PSU and HD for this project from Directron. Its been over 2 weeks and still nothing. When I order from Newegg I have my stuff in a week. This will be the LAST time I order from Directron.

That's pulling a MPC Dream Machine 05. That is overkill.

In the Holiday issue they claim they built that rig in 04, but they did build it in 05. Not sure how that mistake got printed.

This year's, and this is the first mistake that I noticed. Not saying they don't have mistakes just never paid attention.

Yes I am happy with it. They are out there, I wait to bid until the last 30sec. That way no one else has time to out bid you. If the price goes over what I want to pay, I don't bid.

Isn't it fun? I've watched tons of auctions in the last few months, where I'd refresh the page every hour when my timer went off. Some auctions others would ruin, run the price up $100 a day before.

I love going in, having 2 windows open; then bidding. I lost out by $2.00 once, in the last 30 seconds.
