If you have a decent display and case/power supply, you can update your Processor/MoBo/RAM for fairly cheap. Then update your monitor and/or video card as you can later. You can go with bigger HD later too, if it's currenly good enough. Mine is only a 160GB, but with that external 1TB drive I have, I really don't need another drive right now. And my board has a SATA interface, and so does that external drive. So that was the other little thing I got -- SATA cable & ext plug for my PC. That way I can run it over the SATA link instead of the USB. Much faster that way.

All right, I'm off to the sack. The kiddo will get us up EARLY tomorrow (I mean today!! ). Merry Christmas to the EST & CST folks -- MST & PST is coming!! Anyone tracking Santa with NORAD??

i had to quit drinking monsters even though they are my favorite cuz i had one on an empty stomach one day and thought my heart was going to explode. no more energy drinks for me.
I think that would stop me from drinking them also..
