That just might be the manliest man of man king grills I've ever seen... ever, Hank Hill would be proud of you.
It does indeed have an LED work light! Haven't done any night BBQing yet (doesn't get dark till after 9pm here now) so I'm not sure how much it helps but I'm certainly looking forward to trying it out when the winter comes and it's dark at 4:30pm.
Trust me Twigs, it's manlier in person :) Kinda dominates the tiny back yard I have, but totally worth it for $250! And it does make a mean steak ;)
(P.S. Hank Hill would love the rate it consumes propane at with all 5 burners open)

Re: Your Latest Purchase Thread
Well, I had to rent a truck because my car wasn't big enough and you're only a 1943 kilometer one-way trip away so at $.69/km round-trip + gas, a steak should cost you about $3500 CDN. I'd even have it marinating in the back the entire 18h20m that Google Maps estimates it would take so it would be delicious :) Let me know if I need to start packing ;)

Awesome new toys, yay! 8-core i7-5960X proc, Asus Rampage V Extreme X99 mobo, Kingston HyperX Predator DDR4-2400 CL12 quad-channel kit (4x4GB sticks), a beautiful Asus 27" 144Hz 1ms monitor with <gasp!> DisplayPort.
Alas I have no play money left for PSU, case, cooling, GPU cards, drives, or peripherals - I can't even afford a decent TIM, just using the robust but yucky stock cooling setup. Alright, I'm tremendously happy with my Das Keyboard and Logitech G502 mouse, so peripherals ain't an issue*. Cannibalizing what I need from my older system, running new stuff at conservative demigodly non-OC ratings (and continuing the sufferings imposed by my cantankerous old 600W Zalman PSU and greedy heat pig DVI-output Radeon 7800) until I can afford properly godly parts.
Mobo seems, shockingly, like a little bit of a lemon. Quite seriously, there are startup issues, OS restarts, and flaky non-persistent BIOS events. The sort of thing that usually indicates a crapped CR2032 battery, but they didn't stop after I popped in a new CR2032 (which measured 3.04V on my DMM). Perhaps because the mobo is attached to inferior things? Every single mount, bracket, screw, fastener, pin, jumper, connector, and setting checked and rechecked; perfect function of every cable and component confirmed in another system (except proc and RAM, of course, although RAM passed about 16 hours of burn-in without error) - nothing stressed or heated or overheated much beyond room temp. I just dunno wtf. Perhaps I should exchange for another (even for another brand/model?) while I still have 14-day return? Advice, recommendations?
* Alright, I just can't not complain, imperfect tech must always be improved. I think the Logitech G710+ mechanical gaming keyboard is quite nice, I'd probably want one - but only if/when Logitech offers a version with a whole LED backlighting rainbow. Gimme, gimme!
