So i left to go to work today, i had to go out to the garage to get the car, and it was hinting at raining, so i was in a hurry to get the car out of the garage, and get to work before it started really raining.
Just as i drove out of the garage, a big black Lynx lorry pulled up, and blocked the exit to the bit where the garages are.
So i went up to him, who was rummaging around in the back, and asked him, just out of curiosity which number he was delivering to.
"Number 7" he said
Then i said, with some excitement, "Oh, that's me"
So i signed for this big box, took it up to the house, dumped it in the front door right at the bottom of the stairs so my mum wouldn't miss it, then ran back to the car (by this time the rain had started coming down hard :roll
and drove off to work.
Got to work, called my mum, she had seen the box (and nearly tripped over it as she came down the stairs), and got her to open it, and tell me what was there.
"Creative Inspire 5.1 5300" she said, "some motherboard".
"Asus P4PE?" i asked.
"Yes, that's the one. Next, there's some...*rustling*...Artic Silver III....*more rustling*...Samsung 5 1 2 MB something"
"PC2700 DDR?" i said.
"Yeah, that one. Erm, now...Western Digital...Caviar...80GB, Sound Blaster Audd....auddig-ee"
"Audigy"
"Yeah, that's it, also there's...Intel Pentium 4 Processor"
"Cool, now, on the side, there's a sticker with loads of writing"
"Yeah, what do you want me to look at?" she asked me.
"Right, on that first row, it should say 'Pentium 4 Processor 2.40B GHz'?"
"Yes, that's right" she said.
"Right, if you look at the numbers under the first barcode, what's the last 5 letters?"
A couple of sec later, she said 'SL6EF'"
I checked that address above, and low and behalf, IT'S C1
Now i just have to wait til Monday to get the other bits, but then i'm gonna see how fast i can overclock this C1 puppy
Confused <--- Does a huge C1 Stepping monkey dance
