Out of the Blue

Super Bowl Sunday is here, one of my very favorite holidays of the year. The chili has been cooking all night, and I've been contemplating taking my first stab at making some Buffalo Wings, but I'm not sure I will work up enough motivation for that. You'd think we were planning a Super Bowl party with all that, but it is just me and MrsBlue (and the doggies, of course -- Gunnar-man actually watches portions of football games on TV). If I was a betting man I'd take the Colts and give the 5/6 points, but I'm not, so I don't have a particular rooting interest except for hoping it's a good game.

I'm with you, Kanniballl. I long tired of building my own machines. Did that for the first 10 years I was buying PCs. I'm about due myself, and my last two machines were Dell -- 4 years ago and 7 years ago. Both were fine. I did end up replacing the power supply in my most recent box -- but I don't consider that an issue.

However, I haven't been able to find a box Dell's site will let me build that I'm happy with. I want an i7 box, with a good video card (Nvidia 260 or so), and Raid 1 hard drives. Oh and I'd like a floppy drive (don't ask -- long story).

Anyone have a generic "build your custom PC" site they can recommend?
