Married and a kid? Congratulations man! Boy or a girl?

Not much has been happening with me. Working full time in Network support, though I'm occasionally doing some short courses to gain some qualifications

Oh wow..... thought I was seeing things when I saw your name lol..... good to see ya Duke dude!!

As far as I can tell ya did pretty well on the parts.... SilverStone make some great cases, CPU looks the goods, nice HD's & pretty sure G.SKill make some good RAM.

Been freakin yonks since you were here man! lol I'm married too, but the kid is still in the works. waiting till one of us gets out of college.

aclays kid is a boy. cool little bugger too.

On another note though the setup looks great!

Best of luck piecing it all together!

Congratulations on the marriage Animegears!

Yeah, finally put the PC together and it's going well. But unfortunately I've jumped from Windows XP straight into Windows 7 64 Bit and it's annoying, but I might get use to it.

Yeah it just takes some time. I had to have a job where we used vista enterprise x64 before I was comfortable with slapping 7 on my box. It's not too shabby once you relearn your way around.

And thanks for the congrats!
