    New PC....

    The sage himself, Mr. Mfenn, helped me piece together a PC for my father in law recently. I needed a few odds and ends and went to Micro Center to get them. Needless to say I've never been to MC before (it is only 10min away), and I was like a kid in a ToysRUs. While I was there I got...
