I have a very loving wife ...

[davidan]

she just allowed me to order all of this ... and all I had to get her in return was Elder Scrolls Oblivion for XB360 + the vacation we were just on of course ... lol -- she also told me I've now officially spent too much money on this crap and that I need to chill for a long while ...

yep, I got the ATI x1900xtx, I am a sucker for these types of things.
I also got the kingwin case I saw reviewed in Maximum PC this month. Looked pretty cool and was cheap.

I decided not to go with SLI or Crossfire, since next generation CPU's are coming shortly and will not likely be motherboard compliant with today's boards. I figure I'll go dual video cards sometime down the road, and with this x1900xtx I should be kickin on FPS.

I also decided not to go Dual Core CPU just yet to save a little money somewhere on the upgrade, so I went with the San Diego Athlon 64 4000+

Welcome to the dark side David....of CPU's that is!

Ask your wife if I can order my stuff too....

[davidan]

Tim, my wife has given you permission to go home tonight and be nice to your wife

[Paul]

WOW!!! I'm jealous!!! Big Time!!!

[Rob Lowe]

Wow, excellent upgrades. You will be smokin DA..

[mufasa3]

Nice DA. that thing will be sweet. I couldn't help but notice that the video card cost more than the monitor. I'm going on vacation May 6th. I hope I have the same results

[davidan]

Yeah the price of that card is somewhat insane, but I hope it's worth it!!! Goodluck with your vacation Philip -- where are you going?

[mufasa3]

We are once again going to Florida. Logan wants to go see Mickey. The boys are already excited. We leave on the 6th and will be back on the 14th.

[davidan]

That sounds really fun. I need to do that trip sometime w/ Adelle.

[Rob Lowe]

Have a great trip Philip.
