"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

Disappointed that no one noticed the reflection of my scotch glass in the side panel.

Sorry.  I was looking at the half burned joint in the ash tray.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Windoze 8 does suck. Unlike linux, Micorsoft can't seem to separate their distros. Did you do the build yourself?

I really want to do another self-build with the new Intel i7 processor, but I'm going to wait until the price drops. Hell, ebayz has 'em for $600 just for the porcessor.

What are the fucking specs on a CPU for $600?  TigerDirect has i7 processors for ~$250.

It's a microprocessor. Pre-release price. It's been overclocked to 8 gig. It's official release date is June 2 or 4.

Ebay sells shit pre-release now?  Is Chizad pirating them?

On a somewhat related hardware note, Intel is in the process of getting these into the mainstream market:

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/nuc.html

Right now it can only go up to an i3 processor, but should have an i5 option on the market by fall.  It is only 4" x 4", and can mount to the back of your monitor using a standard vesa mount.  RAM is expandable to 16GB, and it also goes up to 2 HDMI outputs and 5 USB ports.  I've never known Intel to put out shit (except maybe Celeron processors), so I'm excited about what this thing can do.  I am in charge of our department's mobile command trailer, and I'm looking to put 3 of these in there.  It will be a perfect application for us, especially driving two 37" monitors that we would otherwise have to run alot of cable to from the rack.  Probably not a good solution if you need alot of expandability or anything, but I think it will have its own niche in the market.

Supposedly $750-$1000 range, depending on what options you want.  I would imagine that the i5 option would get you closer to $1000.  I'm particularly excited about this because it solves some problems for me.  I'm trying to totally rework the technology in our command trailer, and this will eliminate the need for either rack mounted machines, or taking up workspace with laptops and docking stations. 

Another cool feature of these machines is that you can daisy chain 6 devices using a Thunderbolt connection.  It is a 10Gbps bi-directional connection.  It is also compatible with DisplayPort connections.

Cleaned up the inside a little bit.

Installed a Blue-Ray drive I picked out of an old PC.
