NEW COMPUTERS!

Sam: Yeah, that's all correct. And really, it's not the liquid cooling, it's the nVidia 8800 GTX. I mean, yeah, liquid cooling is great and all. So's the mouse and keyboard, actually. Super precise mouse, and backlit keyboard. But it really shines with the graphics card.

Adam: I will take it upon myself to totally rave about our awesome new specs. With the colours now matching the actual colours of the machine. You're WELCOME Sam.

ADAM'S NEW COMPUTER: THE SPECS.
The swag I got is mostly Microtech swag. It's a cool compy store in London, Oxford & Atelade. Great prices. I highly recommend 'em. I would've bought my whole machine there! GREAT deals on some stuff, like that video card was a steal and it's a darn nice video card. Anywho. Onwards to my awesome machine.

It's a thing of beauty. Putting it together will take until the weekend. I'm calling for Monday at the very latest it'll be ready, then I can set the whole sucker up and watch the sparks fly. Actually, hopefully not. Hopefully no sparks will fly. Hopefully it'll be nice and quiet and purr like a kitten. With that reletively large fan that's installed with the case. And now,


SAM'S NEW ALIENWARE: THE SPECS.
There are SOME similarities to the machine I'm building; some. This machine kicks infinitely more ass than mine does. (Sam) Contrary to the font, it's actually black. With some red highlights.
