Sounds good! Now, the real question is what kind of table we're talking about here. Wooden has the best feng sui. :colbert:

But a nice steel or aluminum table makes the best sparks...I can't think of a better way to test the motherboard's grounding...:p

Amazon once had my shipment delivered, but the site still said expected delivery would be a week away... It was at my doorstep :p

Yeah, I got new slippers for my birthday, (NYE) I got an email from Amazon a few days ago letting me know they had shipped. <shrug>

3 of my four orders still say expected delivery 1/24 but in the tracking notes say "out for delivery"

The one that doesn't includes:

CPU Cooler...
DVD Burner...
Ram...
GPU...
PSU...

Where is the one that doesn't? You actually might be surprised and get that tomorrow.

Nope...no UPS Saturday deliveries...you have to wait for Monday.

If the tracking says "Out for delivery," it's on the local truck and should arrive today.

That's strange... because I've gotten a package Saturday somehow... o.0?
