SITE NEWS
- My Raptor is on its way here. I wanted to take advantage of the $25
rebate that Newegg had on the drive. I'll probably be purchasing some more
components after Christmas, unless some major sales crop up. From reading
other discussion boards and my e-mail, it doesn't look like I'm the only
person waiting for an AMD board with PCI-Express. With all this pent up
demand, and manufacturers not delivering, it looks like it won't be until
later in January until my system will be complete. So much for playing
Half-Life 2 over the holiday break.
- I don't know if there will be an Update next week so everyone please have
happy and safe holidays. Thanks for all the support you've given me and the
site this year, and I'll see you in 2005!
- With only one week left until Christmas, it might be too late to get your
BBspot gear before then, but I'll try my best. Everything is still $2 off
in the BBshop. (http://www.bbspot.com/store/tshirts.html) These other guys
will probably be able to help you with Xmas gifts too. Thanks for
supporting the site. (http://www.bbspot.com/store/holiday.html)

winner (http://www.bbspot.com/polls/2004/17-December-2004.html) Vote in
