Default The wait...

So you spend weeks planning every last inch of your new computer. You finally get enough money saved and have everything just right.

Then comes _the wait_

One of the most exciting times of the year is always one of the worst for me. Its like christmas eve when you were 8 or 10, only instead of lasting 12 hours it last's 3-5 days.

The worst part is im off work for the next 3 days so i literally have nothing to do but wait for my parts to get here.

but thank you guys for the advice leading up to my purchase.
And i will try to get some pics in once i finish things up.

Same here! I really wish I lived near a Fry's or Microcenter or something so I could get my instant gratification fix! There's a Tigerdirect store in Raleigh, but I've never found much there that I really wanted to buy.
