Anyone have any advice before I wave goodbye to my money?

Yes: Buy an Nvidia card instead. Radeon drivers suck.

I'll keep that in mind for when I'm looking for a new graphics card in a few years.

Tomatoe paste, corn tortillas. 

I can make healthy corn chips.

Cut the soft corn tortillas, or make some yourself and add powdered vegetables .  Put them in the toaster, dash with with oil after crisping them.  Add a little salt if you wish to.   Paste, spices, and unpasturized apple cider vingegar make a great salsa.

Nobody's giving me shopping advice.  :(

The case you are getting doesn't seem to come with a power supply. I hope the one you already have has enough juice to power all yer stuff, otherwise get a good brand name power supply. Cheap ones can die a horrible death and take themselves as well as other parts out in a spectacular way.

Take this for an example...

Oh and make the fastest HDD the boot drive too, but you already knew that right. Apart from that, everything seems okay.

Didn't actually *buy* anything, but I had to pay the dentist. He's a specialist (I have jaw muscle problems, it seems) so it cost a bloody fortune.

Wifes birthday, so I had to get cake, candles, sticky tape, pen (we have a pen gobblin in the house it seems) wrapping paper.

Bought her the Charmed Box Set that comes in The Book of Shadows.

A cheap car amplifier. I loaned out my Iso-Bomb to a young guy at work, but he did not have an amp.

I was in the mood to show-off my little bass box a bit. He will probably blow the drivers, but that's OK. It has served its purpose as a proof of my design. I will build a big one next for use with live music.

:D

Oh, is that where all the damn pens are coming from?
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Went to Lowe's (:hurl:)

Came home with a decent "passby" garden clipper, a new hedge trimmer, two varieties of lavender I had not seen before, a Japanese maple tree (common, hardy variety) and five, seven-ply sheets of oak hardwood plywood.

Five sheets will be enough for two enclosures, based upon my Iso-Bomb design, but scaled up for Pro-Audio fifteen inch drivers.

I have completed my paper plans, even without a hardware "thousand degree" protractor. The enclosures will be large and very heavy.

So the wormhole ends at your place.

I think you need to reverse the polarity or something.
