Wish list

I am a Geek L33t haxzz0r Gawd. ..No but I am enjoying playing with an unlimited budget and building a PC I can craft with my hands and some luck (and a firm yet gentle push of the cpu into the mobo -this time) . I say my current killer machine is about 65% of this
if we're including the AWEsome LCD display (which I have naught but an emachine flat CRT (.25 pitch) . I have not yet installed my HP Lightscribe burner but I HAVE it , and I can only go to the 2 GIG ram neighborhood because I already have two of three slots filled with 512's(no the l33t variety either). But I have a Athlon 64 3400 CPU on a ASUS silcon RAID 0 on x2 80gig WD 7200 SATA drives plus another 80gig WD IDE as a bitch drive for tossing trash into. Anyway I went to my favorite pc site www.newegg.com and built my wishlist PC. I think I thought of everything but what I can find anywhere is these block adapters to plug in the usb wires into that I can then plug in as one unit into the mobo. Same goes for the front panel light/button wires. Well without further adieu here is my Killer PC.

Admittedly....

I'm a geek, I speak a dialect of geek called helpdesk. I don't care if I'm called the helpdesk, as long as it's known that : A. I like my career, I have no homework, little if any after work commitments. B. I make very good money for not having career shattering responsibilities C. I like customer service. Let me be more specific I like delivering good customer service in complex systems with multilevel technical and or organization challenges. D. I'm going to become wealthy doing my other projects. I do this because I'm good at it, and It's good for me (structure in someone who worships at the altar of chaos) There is an attitude people seem to have about this line of work (that I have been doing for 11 years). Mainly it's that this is a stepping stone into something else   . Those are the people I see burn out. Now Helpdesk Managers well the ones that aren't frustrated but not burned out 'stepping stoners' who got promoted, are of...

FRIDAY

I now hate snow. Most of the time I do. Today it serves as a road hazzard. Back two weeks ago I was able to make some Calvin style snowmen http://www.angelfire.com/wa/zzaran/calvin.html. Mine was a lone surviving soldier who's buddy was impaled to a tree fending off two nasty 'alien' attackers. I should have taken pictures. I'm going to try to bring to life the snowman eating monster

Revenge of the Spoilers!!

Coworker of mine and I have been frequenting http://www.howstuffworks.com Today they have a pretty detailed 80 picture spoiler for Revenge of the Sith Episode 3 . with some captions and some animated photspreads. I cannot unknow what I have seen and this spoiler is so good it's well ...bad. I know too much and have turns of the movie have been laid open to me for all it's macbeth like borrowing. The URL is http://www.tpu.fi/~t4jlaaks/ep3/ if you don't want to visit how stuff works. They also had a really interesting report on megalightning as a possible cause of the columbia disaster http://www.holoscience.com/news.php?article=cc6y424y. Don't blame me if knowing there is a full spoiler out there is too much to resist. I know I couldn't and wish I didn't knwo this was out there but feel compelled to pass it on all the same.
