Temptation
I am considering buying a new computer and putting it together myself. For $600 I can get:
Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz processor with 800Mhz FSB
MSI motherboard with 1 8x/4x AGP slot, 5 PCI slots, and 4 DDR ram slots
2 gigs of RAM
A new case/power supply with blue LEDs, see through window and temperature monitor Pretty
Any suggestions/advice from computer folk are welcome. Of course all these things can be found on newegg.com
It is real hard to resist the temptation since I have already picked everything out and its sitting in my cart on newegg. I think I will probably do this in the next few days.
Also, I am severely tempted to get World of Warcraft. I have been thinking about it for a few days and the idea will absolutely not leave my head. It is only because I know this game will suck all time from me that I am resisting. But again, I will probably do this in the next few days.
In other news I just signed up for a 5k (3.1 mile) corporate run/walk. I've never done any kind of race (other than the most informal, such as hashing) and it should be interesting to see how I do against my cow-orkers. Plus it will be nice to see what kind of time I can get.
