I've been back and forth with the seller over the last couple of days.

I need a bigger power supply (850 watts or so) than the one it's listed with so I can run 2 of those 8800gtx graphics cards in SLI when stuff starts to catch up.

No problem, another 170 bucks....

However, problem, the upgraded ps will not fit in that case, needs a more expensive one.....

Mobo upgrade is 129 bucks, plus an operating system and shipping....

I'm still looking.

I want to buy this week so the new 'spreadsheet computer' can go in this tax year.

 Wink

Time is short though.

And the chess board, too, for that matter.

Well, he doesn't have much competition. Shocked Wink Cheesy

Well, he's certainly not getting any competition from you, either.

Nah, I said I was still looking.

Have my eye on another one that ends shortly, which is actually better, but no BIN price.  I contacted him about it and he said he would let me have it for $3300.......

If I don't buy this tax year I'm waiting until feb/march, new stuff coming from ATI and AMD, maybe even some Intel, which will drop the price of the stuff out now. 

I always get this jump now/regret later or wait/spend even more thing going on new PCs.

As it happens I've signed up for a distributor thingy from a warehouse today.

So if they do or can get hold of components at wholesale I'm thinking of making my own again.

Might even start selling them, if I get really bored.  Depends on what their prices are and the range of product.

I made the decision to make my own.

Now I just need a case, erm, mobo, erm, HDs, erm, Opticals, erm, RAM, erm, PSU, cooling stuff, erm, graphics card....

Holy crap, what have I done?

I bought a chip, the card will be along later Smiley

I'm not overly worried about that particular element of spreadsheet protection.

Since they are all blank, erm, for now, I mean.   Wink 

Clearly though, it is a necessity that I be able to check websites and stuff and a speedy computer is required for that task....

Actual work computers don't get to have fun stuff installed on them.

It's obviously a pressing concern and so Firewalls etc are put in.

At the end of the day, we operate LLCs, with carefully managed assets so the personal risk is lowered.

It doesn't absolve the responsibility to everyone else though, so we are careful, or as careful as we can be when we have to access the internet in the normal course of business.

The work machines include Zone Alarm Pro which alerts when anything is trying to send out, obviously they aren't always infallible.

There are other things that we do to be as confidential as we can, that wouldn't be wise for me to post about online.

So, yes, worried, taking precautions, also yes.
