LOL...I figure that spending $196 for an XP2400, XP1900, MSI board rated at 333 FSB and PC2700, GigaByte KT266A board, two generic 400W power supplies and two sticks of PC2100 (will try to get PC2700 later...but the PC2100 was $10.00 total for both pieces after rebates) = each at 256Megs is pretty good. My rack will be expanding...along with the power bill! :Q

more...more....more! :Q

Two weeks ago Fry's had ECS K7S5A Pro mobo and 2000+ for only $59.99. I had all the other parts needed to get two of them running. Why do I keep doing this?!? :confused: :disgust:

I just got a $29 raidmax 400w PSU refurb, which blew up when I plugged it in... wonderful.

Heck yea! :p

However, you'll definitely have problems if you end up with as many computers as your wife has shoes. :Q ;)

I'd like to spend some money at NewEgg, but I really can't... I got some classes and certs to get so I have to hold off a bit. ;)
