Default New Upgrade....

So, I went up to Micro Center on my way home from work last night to get some new SATA cables, and a few SATA Y-splitter power cables, both with right angle connecters on them. I have 4x 500 Gig Seagate's in my rig now, and not all of the cables are right angled ones, so the front bezel with the fans can't be put back on yet, cause the connectors will hit the fans.

So Anyways, I get my cables, and I am looking around.... What do I see sitting on the shelf but an Intel i7 CPU.... OoooOO Goodie! So I looked at the Core2's, and they were marked down a bit. Got the urge, so I did it.... I bought a Q9550 for $299.00 to replace my E6750.

If all goes to plan, the new CPU will be going in tonight, I can't wait!!
