Congrats on the order.
Also, :welcome:

If you have any question, do not hesitate to ask us, though some need a few cups of coffee before they are fully responsive. *cough cough*

Huh...what, who...me? :)

Welcome to the boards Ptrker!

[grundlethrop]

Very nice. That gives you plenty of room to upgrade in the future. No reason you have to buy everything at once (but it is more fun).

[Plan1x]

Welcome, hope to have you around more often.

[Ptrker]

Thanks for the warm greetings. Once the beautiful machine arrives, I will post some pics. :P

[Ptrker]

The system arrived! Soon I will post some pics. The machine looks great and is up and running. Now I am about to load some games and check it out.

[Ptrker]

I love the system. I have been playing LOTRO and Halflife 2, and this system blows them away. Man, they look good. I will post a pic tomorrow. Maybe tonight, but I may be a bit busy. :lol:

[theDreamer]

Funny, I am still playing through Half life, not even EP 1, I am at the part where I have to go through Ravenclaw or something where all the creatures are...ugh I hate this part. Plus I am stuck and have not clue where to go. :cry:
