What a great day. Two of my classes were canceled and I received two big boxes of Prime parts. Here is a list of the parts that I have received so far:

The items that I will receive tomorrow will be the case, the sound card, and the speakers. My video card will be in late next week and my KVM cables will be in sometime around thanksgiving. As soon as I get the case I can start the building process. By the way the image above is of my pile of parts that will someday be my computer.

Impatient
I am very impatient. Yesterday I received my KVM switch. However I received no cables. They will be coming in tomorrow. Sometimes I think that that the people who put all of this stuff together have no idea what they are doing. I am planning on getting a lot of stuff tomorrow. I will post pics as I get stuff in. By the way the pic above is just a joke. Funny isn’t it.

Tomorrow is the First Day
That is right. Tomorrow is the due date for the first shipment from CompUSA.com. I believe that it is going to be my KVM switch. There is no pic yet. I will include a pic of the case and then add on until it is completely built. That is about it for now. I have to go and proof read my report for Technical Presentation class.

"Prime" Is Incoming
It has really been along time since I wrote in this blog. I am truly sorry for that. By the way, the pic above is of Cliff when he came over to watch the National Title game. His shorts are frozen.
I have just completed an order for all the parts for my new computer. Prime is what I am calling it. I have ordered all the parts for Prime except case fans and lights. I do not know if I have fans on the case or not so I am waiting and seeing before I order them. Here is a list of the parts I ordered:

It took me along time to save that much money but I did it and now I am in the hole $223.11. However not to worry, I will have that much money very soon and I still have to get fans, power strips, and lights. Putting everything together will take up most of my time. Well I will take pictures of everything as they come in and keep you informed.
