So I call UPS and basically get told Im an idiot and I need to look in my door where they left it. So Im getting a little mad because I can barely understand the operator. Then they tell me I gotta call Newegg to file a claim...a claim that will take 10 days to complete. Plus I cant call Newegg until tomorrow because their customer service hours are ... 5am - 5pm ... honestly really? 5-5 what kind of customer service hours is that!

Now, instead of just looking at boring buildings and inanimate figures, you can fire off a couple of rounds with the new first person shooter version of Google Street View.

The new Alienware desktop looks like an Xbox 360.

I hate proprietary boxes. My friend got an XPS desktop (or whatever the **** they call their high end gaming desktops) and wanted to upgrade to the i7 series from Core2. Well he was going to have to replace the motherboard...but the only mobo that fits in one of those boxes is one specifically made for that box. So he had to get a new box and pretty much lost the water cooling system he'd had on there.

Some would call this karma for being a lazy git with too much money though... Just saying.

Yeah, I warned him. He'd built his previous machine, so I don't know why he chose that route. Guess he just didn't feel like putting it together and wanted to give his old machine to a family member.
When he had to upgrade to the i# series, he listened. But then he had to buy a whole new box.
My machine is still a Core2, but it's in that area where it still checks out as good as a lot of the i# series. I'll have to graduate soon enough and am not looking forward to it all that much. Might try to get that done before ME3/D3 come out...

Finally got all my parts. I am assembling it after work today. I can't wait! I am pretty excited and nervous. This is my first full computer build. I've done a lot of tinkering before but never the whole thing.
Wish me luck!

Good Luck, but you don't need it! It's a very simple exercise, like adult Mechano meets Lego :)
Just remember to stay grounded and always touch the case before any parts just to discharge any static you might have built up :)

Everything went together... I tried firing it up and nothing. After about 1-2 hours of troubleshooting I got her to boot! It was a very stressful situation.
I did make a rookie mistake and got Windows 7 Home Premium which only recognizes 8gb RAM... Got an anytime upgrade and will be getting Ultimate this afternoon.

I have a Macbook (shut up)...if I use a program like Wine, can I run pretty much any PC game on it?
And, if so, does that mean I can run mods with it as well?

Nobody else who posts in here is silly enough to buy a Mac. Ergo, no answers!
