Coolermaster Storm Scout

This case looks pretty sweet, great price at $110. And a handle for carrying to LANS. I also was seriously considering the Coolermaster Temjin nvidia edition, but $400 is a little pricey for a case Money better spent on a better GPU or SSD.(Solid State Drive)Check out the case below, great little case for taking to LANS.

Also I am wondering why I ever bought components from newegg, on tiger direct you don't have to pay tax! which can add up to a couple hundred $$. TD doesn't have as good of a selection as newegg, and shipping takes 3x as long, but its cheaper.

New Job

Wow now I REALLY haven't updated in awhile. I start a new job next week working for Siwel Consulting Inc. as an IT contractor for Verizon's largest data center in Sacramento, Ca. (Free Fios perhaps? lol.) I'm basically going to be doing cabling and server hardware support. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with the cabling. In high school I made some cat5e patch cables while working on the school network. I didn't enjoy that too much, this would be patching fiber cables however. I think it would basically be the same.

Man after working for basically pennies for 7 months its going to be wierd having money. In fact, ever since I have had bills to pay I never had enough money to live the lifestyle I want. Don't get me wrong- working for the school district was great, I had enough money for rent, utilities, food, even eating out sometimes. But there was no way I could ever afford to go to Japan to visit my brother, or even to buy a new computer. Now, I finally will be able to do those things. Quite the jump from practically minimum wage (I was making $12/hr ,now $23/hr) to a livable salary. I'm doing pretty good despite having no college degree if I do say so myself. :-) The degree will come in time, as I realize it is necessary to get more permanent jobs.
