Re Megan Merkle. WTF did she expect to happen when she decided to marry into royalty? Especially after what happened with Diana?

Well this freaking sucks. HD just cancelled my order. FFS. It was on sale and was saving like $100 too. I can buy the plugin model for cheaper but really wanted the battery one.

HD does this every freaking year too with snow related equipment. At the peak of winter, they have no inventory.
Consider yourself lucky then. Only thing I need to get for my 2003 snowblower is skid plates.

Had to clean the carb a few times, but tgat is pretty easy.

In case you missed the P180 thread, here's my old Athlon 64 X2 box. I had just built a new main rig, going back to Intel in 2009 with a i7 920. My X2 migrated to file server duty. It was an upgrade for the file server. Going from a single core Winchester to the dual core Toledo. You can see I was using quite a few PATA drives still. All the SATA drives were down in the lower chamber. It was easier to route SATA power and data cables. I was always thinking ahead. Expensive hobby this is.

Athlon 64 days. Fun times. I oddly kinda miss those days. AMD 2000+ days and leading up to 64 and just that general era. Stuff is way better now mind you but it just feels less exciting to build than it did back then, mostly because I was newer to it and the upgrades were bigger.

Exactly. I still have that 4400+ X2 CPU sitting on my desk at all times. I have all my old CPUs in a box under my desk.

So, I was mistaken. I didn't go from the 3200+ Winchester to the X2 4400+ in the file server.. It wasn't worth the hassle to find another 939 mobo just to keep on using the 3200+ after upgrading the CPU in my main rig. So, I stuck with the 2600+ until I changed platforms (and motherboards) in 2009.

Main rig:
Intel 200 MMX
Athlon 1200hz Thunderbird
Athlon XP 1600+ Palomino
Athlon XP 1800+ Thorougbred
Athlon XP 2200+ Thornton
Athlon XP 2400+ Thornton
Athlon XP 2600+ Barton
Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester
Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Toledo
Intel i7 920 Bloomfield
Intel i7 4790K Devil's Canyon

File server:
Athlon 2600+ Barton (from Main rig)
Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Toledo (from Main rig)
Intel Pentium G4400 Skylake-S
Intel i7 6700 Skylake-S

It was US283 in May 2006. Monarch Computers had it on sale. The deal was posted on HardOCP
