(and taking pics)


The funny story here is I had budgeted $3000 for a new workstation for my office at OSU.  I was like hmmm what is Alienware offering through Dell Premier OSU portal?  Well I go to configure the most expensive rig I could, and the "6-core 990x OC 4.0ghz" was mistakenly subtracting $2200 rather than adding $2200.  I freaked out and sent the order through right away to see if they would honor it, chose overnight shipping, and it showed up 5 days later.  The thing hauls ass.  Ended up being just under $3000 with a 5 year warranty with accidental damage protection as well.  God bless price mistakes!

I can run windows on this thing not having to boot DOS.

LOL yeah, I have a shitload of old VHS tapes, they are currently being digitized and the cases/tapes being thrown out.  Before the tape entirely goes bad.  Surprised how bad they can get in 10 or 15 ....or20 years.
