Bought a new PC the other week.

Someone on zIWT acquired some new technology? Well that's hardly news :)

But I needed a PC to play a few games I'd received for Christmas. My Duron700 just doesn't cut it anymore :)
Now, when one of the displays in your house is a (roughly) 4m x 3m wall (ie: a projector), and the other a 19" CRT, it's obvious which one you must play the games on... so I needed a loungeroom-friendly machine.

The specs of the machine aren't too special - Athlon64 3000, Some kind of Leadtek GeForce5700fx card, Serial ATA HD and stuff.

The bit I reckon is cool, though, is the case: A [link|http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=104&type=expert |Cavalier 2 (CAV-T02-UKA) Black]. Just the thing for a Home Theatre PC - matched my DVD player & Amplifer etc just fine. (ie: I'm only buying black equipment until they invent something darker.) And as a bonus, it's really quiet. Yes, the analog sound meter is pointless. Yes, it's why I bought the case :)

So I'm happy - and am still wasting a phenomenal amount of time playing [link|http://howevilareyou.com/us/|Evil Genius].

No I haven't put Debian on it, yet.

Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

That must be some kind of record.

3 LRPD sitings. You're on a roll! :-)

Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed

Somebody save my life

I think one of mine is

But I don't know how to search for LRPD trigger count.

Then of course there's:

Ph34r the triple-recursive meta-LRPD.

The origins of which I am thoroughly unable to locate.

I'll buy more new hardware, if LRPD is the reward :)
