Default Just bought a new rig... FINALLY!
Haha... so, I finally got my stuff through a friend at MicroCenter (they were having some good deals).

Take a gander at the rig in the signature.... I think this one's gonna kick some major booty.

Congrats on the new computer build. May it serve you well!

P.S. Additionally on behalf of The President of the US and the entire US Congress and Senate thanks for helping the economy.

P.S.S. Yeah, Micro-Center is offering some great deals, like on processors to compete with online sales. Snagged my wife's new processor there.
