Also, this Mac has FF stuck at full screen, and won't reduce it back down. Fucking Macs.

I realize that, but I don't need a great power supply -- only a decent or good one. The last 3 or 4 boxes I've built have used OCZ supplies (mainly due to sales like this one) and never had a problem, even on my server and I know it is consuming much more power than my hypothetical new rig would and it is using a 600 W supply.

I'll think about it a little more I guess. I had just about convinced myself to cancel my new build and/or see if I could score a quad Core2 relatively cheaply.

Looking around G35driver, lots of cars in the 70, 80, 90, 100 range. Very few people have gotten past that, which is unsurprising given the years. A few chimed in with 140-160, and said everything was still fine, more wear parts (suspension does wear out after all).

My parents are urging me to take another G dad found at a branded dealership, for $15000, with 90k miles and the wrong color scheme. So, lose the black, the black, and the rosewood, pay another $2000, get it from a branded dealership with 18k fewer miles.

I'm not convinced.

Edit: I'm stopping. At least for the next hour or so. Brain hurts.

1) Make a decision (short-term) regarding the car.
2) Order my school parking pass.
3) Enroll/request classes.
4) Purchase text books.

5) Build power rack
6) Clean bedroom
7) Finish cleaning computer room

8) Go through three folders of files completely
9) Clear backlog of orders
10) Restock all shelves to maximum capacity
11) Draft operating procedures for successors

Fuckballs I have a lot to do!

Item 1 is consuming over 90% of my mental efforts. Item 2 is directly affected by 1. 3 controls 4. 5 needs my father's help, and he is doing 16 hour shifts at work all week (utility company, Hurricane Irene). 6 and 7 can only be done at home; those can take right up until next Tuesday. 8-11 can only be done at work, and must be done by end of day on Friday.

Edit:
12) Meet with someone about a door mechanism
13) ...damnit.
