I would invest it in my first mod. I already have the concept down, and now its left to the materials.

Well, the one thing I think a computer resembles most is a building, so my first mod will be modding my fiancee's old Compaq case into an old castle. I am planning a castle design that was not built by human hands for the creepy effect, and she decided on the old decrepit look as opposed to inhabited. I am going to use a similar concept to the throne room in the little nicky movie, but with a few addons and modifications. The throne room will sit inside the brain case of a huge, inhuman looking skull. Three towers are in the early plans, with one on each side for cooling and one in the center coming from the top for maybe an external hard drive mount. The skull itself will be half in / half out of the front of the castle, and look like someone grabbed it across the forehead and slammed it into the castle. With the decrepit look, the fallen stones and debris will be lying around. I'm planning to have a graveyard in the courtyard on the top, with a wall and wrought iron fence. Maybe the obligatory hand coming from a grave. I will have a huge (according to scale) stained glass window on one side as a "colored" window into the inside. I am aiming for the details, like spiderwebs in the corners (melted, stretched plastic) and broken blocks lying around, etc. I figure since Crimson doesn't do things like windows and lights, but more disguises them as part of an overall theme, then that's what I'll do.
BTW, I can't for the life of me figure out how to post pics, could anyone tell me?

Depends if it's in AUD or USD. If in AUD, save it all and put it into my interest account. If in USD exchange it all for AUD and then save it all and put it into my interest account until I get a job.

Get something other than this Socket-A Sempron. Maybe a decent AMD-939...*drools*
