Exactly what happened to me.

Two guys who joined July of this year and already have hundreds of posts each... wow. Why don't you guys put your parts where your post is. It's called a digital camera.

Here are some shots of all the computer parts around my place before I moved (prior to July of this year).

Dinner table taken over by Shuttle SFF boxes. My Aspire "alien" case that the XP-120 did fit in. My file server, AOpen A600B.

Bookshelves with almost no books (there are a few, can ya see them?). Yes, those are Intel retail boxes. I tried to like Prescotts. I really really did, but after going through about five of them... now I'm with A64 and mobile Northwoods. So, when I say Prescotts get hot, I know what I'm talking about!!!

The "seat of power" with my Acer 19" LCD, CompuCase tower as my main rig, JBL receiver standing on edge powering some shielded home theater speakers. Some other desk space for guests.

My garage overflowing with computer stuff. Needless to say I have not parked inside my garage for about 4 years (until I moved and had to get rid of stuff).

Pictures of what some of the boxes in the other pics held. Can anyone spot the socket 7 CPU among the mess?

I'm pretty tempted to order this cooler myself for my X2 4400+, but I will wait just a tad bit longer.

WTF, that's not my site!??!?!?. LOL. Maybe I should register the domain. I got rid of all those small monitors and older computers (many still functional, was just taking parts from them as needed) in the garage. The parts, got rid of a lot of them. Holy crap, I only have a fraction of what I had before, and just the parts still takes up three shelves in the garage.
