You are too kind.
I do have the other machine running nicely. WoW is installed and I'm downloading a 465 MB patch right now (guess there was a lot of patching to go from WoW 1.0 to WoW 2.0.4 :) ).
So I'll be back sooner than anticipated.
What's silly is that I'm using the case and Powersupply from the very first PC I ever bought (which was an upgrade from my Commodore 128), it was originally a Micron Millenium Pro2. It housed a Pentium Pro 200, I never did get the 2nd chip in there, but it was an SMP motherboard and I had SLI Voodoo2's in that bad boy. It was a hoss back in '97 when I got it :). Hence why the Powersupply is still beefy enough to run an AMD Athlon 2000+ and a GeForce Ti4200 and a couple of ATA 7200 RPM drives on the old Asus A7M266 motherboard (which was actually the 2nd PC I ever purchased all the parts for, though it just had an Athlon 1200 in it at the time, it was an upgrade from a Duron 650 I got as a gift though, and that Duron made a good enough 2nd system for Treesh at the time to play D2 on, the PPro was not cutting it so well). Really it's not a bad system, it's just not my big system :) Of course the big system was still all gifts and freebies from family and friends but it's a major step up from this.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
