    I'd really like an ION board with Dual Core Atom - in the early early planning stages of turning a 1999 iMac into a PC - going to post it when it's done in every mac forum I can find - see how many death threats I get

    Current Projects: Lobo | Unimatrix | High Voltage | Antec 900 Revamp (Phase 2)
    Completed Projects: General Lee | Synergy Green | Liquid Yellow
    Planned Projects: K-9-PC | Limey

    Make sure it's running Vista for maximum threats!

    As for me, I can't wait to get my hands on:
    Core i5 750
    Gigabyte P55-UD5
    8GB of DDR3-1600
    Coolermaster Cosmos S (Still trying to get it)
    Plenty of cheap Seagate 7200RPM 2TB drives
    Probably a 16 port RAID card to go with the above drives (Highpoint most likely)


    But for the nerd in me:
    A digitally temperture controlled soldering station.
    A PCB etching kit
    Atmel ATMega32
    Heatgun 2000W (with heat control)
    Dremel 400
    Dremel bench press


    And that's all that comes to mind currently!

    Mine is also the SSD, but specifically the SSD that plugs directly into a PCIe slot, like the OCZ Z-drive. As with all new tech, it's WAY too expensive, but I want a couple of those so bad I can taste them. (And strangely, they taste GOOD.)


    Edit: Oh YEAH! I want a Kindle in the worst way. I'm currently selling organs from my main desktop to fund it.

    I'll be spending money on this that I don't really have to spare, and producing a PC that I don't really need - if I'm doing all of that, least I can do is make sure it's usable - think it'll be XP or 7 - I have a dozen or more spare XP licences lying around so probably that :p

    PM me if you want windows 7 *free* (but don;t tell anyone)
    It's like JFK announcing the moon mission. He had no expertise in space travel, and no way of knowing if it would work. He just announced "we're going to the moon" and then they made it happen because everyone was on the same page and working towards the same goal. If he had said "well, let's get some people in space, and we'll see how far out we can get, and if I find someone to make a rocket strong enough, we could possibly approach the moon's orbit and maybe land" it wouldn't have happened.

    I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of Windows 7 and if my business takes off building myself a nice new system with either an i-7 or i-9 processor in it.

    Edit* Adobe CS4 will be nice to upgrade to soon even though it isn't new.

    I'm really interested in a graphics card I saw the other day. It's two gtx 285's on one pcb. I forget who's putting it out, and I can't post the link, cause I'm at work. The only thing that sucks is the triple slot cooler but seriously, the chance for quad sli with 285's? :drool:
