&lt;p&gt;But first... Watch this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hkqqMPPg2VI&amp;amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hkqqMPPg2VI&amp;amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;YouTube. Gotta love it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyways, what time of the year is it you ask? Valentines Day? Nope. Morally against v-day. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This time of the year I upgrade. Why? Because 1) Vday generates some decent deals and 2) Holidays are over and the weather is on the verge of being good to go outside but not.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I'm upgrading my main machine. Taking the step into dual core land with AMD's X2 &lt;a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103222" title="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103222" target="_blank"&gt;3600&lt;/a&gt;, a new &lt;a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129018" title="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129018" target="_blank"&gt;case&lt;/a&gt;, a new &lt;a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186115" title="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186115" target="_blank"&gt;mobo &lt;/a&gt;to go with new processor and new &lt;a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231047&amp;amp;Tpk=F1-3200PHU2-2GBNS" title="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231047&amp;amp;Tpk=F1-3200PHU2-2GBNS" target="_blank"&gt;memory &lt;/a&gt;to go with the new board.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now this might not seem like an upgrade to you but you don't know what it's replacing. Remember, I'm cheap. &lt;img src="http://www.eggxpert.com/emoticons/emotion-2.gif" alt="Big Smile" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although I didn't really hold back on my server.... [HYPOCRITE]&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My main machine is hooked up in my living room, hooked up to my 42" TV, and where I watch most of my *cough* TV shows.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking of TV shows and telling everyone that I wasn't born with a man card, have you guys ever watched Cashmere Mafia? Dang, stupid GF got me hooked on it. Think Sex in the City (not that I ever watched that show) but better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think I just lost half my users that read my blog. I'm down to 1 person now. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*grin*&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
