I like cleaning my bathroom... Or not
Building one from the ground up is fun but in the sub-$1000 area, it is tough to get it together cheaper than the big manufactures. They have such large economies of scales @ that price range and their purchasing power that enables them to buy hardware for low ass margins is hard to compete with. However you do avoid getting caught off guard with crappy hardware. No warranty though. Pick your poison.

weather = good
at least where im at. It was a little chilly last night (60s i guess) and overcast this morning, but now the sun is out and it looks like its gonna be a nice day. Thanks for the tips Bortz. I'd love to put together a rig myself, and i bet I could do it for a lot cheaper, but im not too confident on it all. Like shit with fans and this and that. Scares me a wittle bit. So, might have to be a beeatch and dude get a dell! We'll see. Or a car. 2000 pounds seems kinda pricey Mikeovitch - that include shipping?

Is it hot down there?
Rude, looks pretty reasonable. Personally I am not a big supporter of pre-configured machines, but if you have to go with one, Dell probably is one of the more reliable of the large manufactures. Stay far away from HP/Compaq PCs. I have not been in the market for pre-configured systems in a while but I did some quick searching and the price seems pretty competitve. You may want to run it by Elrock too. I am not sure if they use pre-cofigs at his work or not so he may have a thing or two to say about it. You may want to consider upgrading the monitor up one step. I think it was only 40 more on the web site to go to a .25 dot pitch 17". Just a thought. Higher DP monitors tend to bug a bit. Then again I am a monitor snob. Late.
Ohhh sorry about the double post earlier. Every once in a while when I log in at work the interface is strange where I can only look at the post I am typing, or the past posts, not both. Last time it returned errors while I was posting and I re-posted it. Neither time did it post it on my actionteam window. D'oh.

computer advice
now that i have some dough, im thinking about getting a new computer. I'm looking at Dell right now, and what I'm leaning towards is:
Dimension 4600
Pentium® 4 Processor at 2.40GHz with 533MHz front side bus
512MB Dual Channel DDR SDRAM at 333MHz (2x256M)
40GB Ultra ATA/100 Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
17 in (16 in viewable,.27dp) E773c CRT Monitor
128MB DDR GeForce FX 5200 Graphics Card with TV-Out and DVI
cd burner and reg cd drive, keyboard, mouse, winxp, and some microsift sfot2are.
about $800 bucks. What do u guys think? is that too much? I also looked at compaqs, but they seemed like lesser quality. Dell also sells refurbished ones, but cost would almost turn out to be the same.
HEL!!P

Man if I had my ring…
Ever have one of those days where you just can not seem to get motivated to do what you are supposed to be doing. Today is ADHD day for me. Everytime I sit down to analyze data I find some excuse to look at something of much less importance. Like: Look, I need to balance my check book, or reading Dan Savage’s column. Yar… Lo Mo to Vation. Back to work.
Blah

where's the hate?
Hate is such a strong word, but here are some of my fond hate memories:
Erick/Enron: Hockey. Ugh. Even when it would be getting Tivo'd, you'd guys would have to check and see what was going on. Sorry - omg, hockey. I don't know why I can't stand it, but I can't. :)
JOon/JP: The Peace Punks episode in Westwood. I think I was successful in my counter-attack with: "my friends addicted to COOOOCAAIIINNEE!!!"
That's enough hate for one post.

Hmmm..
I also hate that guy who keeps talking about breast enlargement. What's his name? Fucker. Anyway, ahh Johnny, sounds like a good theory. Well maybe not. Beer + woman does not make a bigger teet proportionally to the rest of her body fat content. Beer + woman = bigger hips/thighs @ a higher fat %. Men + Beer = Gut @ a higher fat %. Look somewhere else. Johnny, may I introduce you to Milk? Milk, this is Johnny. Johnny, Milk. This is why younger generations of Asians are taller, stronger, faster, more silver than the older gen. Especially here in the US. That and more Meat @ a young age. Check out the French and Italians. Beer... Not much at all.. Wine is the guzzle of choice, but they can have some large protrusions.
BooBs alot, bOObs alot. Gotta like BooBs a lot.

damn... everyone hates me
cuz i chose to blog about my theory of Breast enlargement, instead of talking about how much you guys suck ass. Great.
By the way, I finished painting my PBI minis! Yay! Now I have 2 full squads. Next step is to make buildings, hills, paint the trees, and make hedgerows.
