1984. And yes, I was utterly pissed off about the sealed box my self. But we found aways around that we did. As for their pricing... Ugh. I can not argue. I paid over 10,000 dollars for a brand new Mac IIfx when it came out. It was a staggering 40mhz machine... Bleeding edge performance technology. Wickedly fast. TOTAL WHITE ELEPHANT... GRRRRRRRR! But, it could drive 6 monitors all at once! I feel the same way about Microsoft, so no worries.

If you are making a gaming rig, buff up your cooling. I was just reading something about performance boosts per degree of cooling. Better frame rates, cpu performance, etc. It adds up to more than you think. I do not have the kind of mental horsepower to completely and totally understand thermodynamics and such, it's way outside my league, so I couldn't understand half of what I was reading, nor could I hope to explain it here because I lack understanding and vocabulary. I found the info quite by accident when searching for information on building a high performance Linux box. The artical made it clear that you could save a little money by getting second or third best gear and then making up the performace by spending a few more bucks on extra cooling.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.

And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.

"Isn't this where...."
