/putered!

i have done it. the online vendor gods have been appeased and new computery goodness shall soon be miiiiine! mwahahahaha . . ha . . hum. yes, so feel free to skip a bit if wading knee-deep in incredible dorkness isn't your thing.

the goods possessed::
Lian Li 6077 midtower - black anodized aluminum chassis capable of producing ungodly amounts of drool. the modular front bays sold me on the beaut:: currently is housing an equally delicious tagan 450w psu, a matrix orbital lcd, vantec fan controller, and five thermaltake 80mm's [three of which are blue led and all of which can move a ridiculous 70+cfm]. i've been damned impressed with the vendor i went through for this order - they charge a slight premium on most of their merch, but their sleeving jobs [standard on any item with wires . . . which is damned near everything] are quite simply what's for awesome. only the temperature probes and front port usb/firewire headers are bare, making this case's guts extremely ogle-worthy. check out performance-pcs.com or be waifed by the sheer aerodynamic fury that is my computerless computer case. or something.

the goods enroute . . . i hope::
Mitsubishi 19" DiamondPro CRT. i hate dell, but i must admit they use some damned good monitors in their builds. 90hz @ 1600 x 1200 ain't too shabby. techonweb.com, however, gets a ghetto rating from me. order placed, money taken . . . no word on shipment. for that matter, no notification that the order ever went through. the fact that the order status functionality on their website works as well as my uncomputer instilled no further confidence within me. meh. the promises i recieved of tracking numbers and imminent shipping in an email yesterday are as of yet unfulfilled. i'm not holding my breath . . .
