I've got internet! Moved this weekend and the phone co is slow to got my connection up. I always have inet at the office at least.

The big bonus! - This new place's circuit breaker panel sort of tolerates the size of my computers power supply, to the point where it is unlikely to trip from simply plugging it in!

The circuit breaker sold me. You don't know how much I fought with the old one. These new computers they have us in this days take so much power, you need a power station in your living room just to power it! The extra space I got in the new place is pretty much for my wife only so that she has more places to put furniture I guess (Its never ending, but as you may have guessed, I gave up fighting it). As an example, there is now a $3000 Natuzzi couch already in the new place, an $1800 matching chair is being shipped in from Italy (4 months out at this point), and I seem to have a new Tempurpedic mattress that I seem to be sleeping on at night. Whatever.

Anyway, back to the important stuff - The monster I put in my case is so big, I had to dremmel out the bracket/holder inside just to make it fit. I do have 42 Amp's on the 12 volt rails though - enough to power everything along side 2x x1900 XTX's (I only have one right now, but planned to get one more at some point when I can justify the need - such as a new game that doesn't work well on one card only).

Yeah - can't justify 2 right now, since one is doing the job, but two is what I planned for!
