    A lot of folks turn to me for help with such problems. The first thought that comes to my mind is for everyone to give me the computer parts that mean the most to them...that should make you feel better & less guilty...it's a win/win situation. I'm only doing this to help!

    I am feeling the urge for some OCZ 2GB dual kit ( I want headroom for OC). I am feeling weak. I want to use the excuse of my daughters' new rig needs to inherit my Corsair 2GB dual sticks.

    I am a dirtbag. I hate myself. Bad Joe! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad!

    Okay, I'm better now

    I think Hawk is in serious trouble with his addiction. So many machines and is still not sated . I think I might be happy with a quarter of your rigs but alas I am relagated to upgrading my rig. Will be ordering an xp120 with a panaflo fan, an xp90 and panflo fans and some rounded sata cables. I couldn't make up my mind on teh cooler so I am getting both and besdies they are all on sale. I think I am saving $20 - sounds like a deal to me .

    On a sad note I will also be dismantling this rig for some much delayed modding for better airflow (ducts, shrouds, opening grills, etc.). Not sure how long it will be down -I hope I don't start to get the shakes halfway through. Is there a BE hotline I can call for a quick fix

    Thanks bud. Not sure if I will like tire tracks up my back . Just send it over by courier - I'll take real good care of it .

    I'm going to get passed one day so if its now or later no matters. It's all good for the team.

    If it gets too bad, you can always hit your local web cafe or public library...it's like generic beer, but when you need a quick fix, it'll do! Or, if it really gets bad, you can dial 1-800-up-grade, therapists are standing by.

    Umm I have 7 computers and I use 2 of them and I'm thinking about upgrading to another A64 system (have 2 already). I work for OCZ and I just PAID! for some pc3500EB......oh god there is something wrong here.

    Now I'm also getting a Canon 20D though I really have no need for it and it seems every day the buy gets more and more expensive. Go from the 18-55MM lense to the 17-85MM IS USM lense.....1GB mem card to the 2GB card...add battery grip.......filters.....speedlight.......now I'm thinking about the Canon 70-200MM IS USM telephoto as well........when will it stop...........
