Hello everyone, I have been lurking around this site for a while and finally decided to post. I have been messing around with comps since commodore 64, I have finally entered into some college courses in computers after working private retail fraud investigations for four years (figured why not make a hobby a career). I appreciate the site I have found a lot of good info in the two - three months I have lurked around. Guess that about wraps up the introduction. Again thanks for the site. See you all around.

Welcome. Any plans for computer modding (it's not a prerequisite, i'm just curious

)?

Wow, i really like the new members we've been getting lately. They all seem pretty darn cule (you, of course, are included in that statement, Ofwarz

).

Comp Specs:

MSI 865ge max mb
2.53 ghz p4 with ht
512 mb corsair the high speed stuff forgot which model want another stick but its like 180 per

160 gb wd
ati 9600xt decent card but should have waited
nec dvd/rw
samsung cd/rw
lite on cd
winfast pvr2000 for tv

xbox attached
usb extension card to make 16 usb ports hah
normal nic/modem
19" sony lcd

thats about it for the puter, no overclocking or anything as I can't really afford to screw things up with this comp yet.

As for the stories from the job, lots of interesting stories hopefully no one on here would recognize me

and for modding I will be piecing together another comp in the near future just don't know when, might keep upgrading this one until I finish my 2 years in school.
