The Buck Stops Here!

And this is one of the rare times that I mean it both literally as well as figuratively. :o

I have been spending waaaay too much lately. The latest cause of cash expenditures? PC/Cooling upgrades... :s

Things I just bought for my setup:
1) 850w UPS (had a nasty brownout the other day, scared me shitless) Has my PC, Server, TV and consoles hooked up to it (though can't run em all at once due to overload LOL).
2) PC Cooling galore. New rad ($$$ Thermochill - stupid British Pounds to USD forex), new Pump (MCP655 - 1200 Liters per Hour, 50ft of Head Pressure - AWESOME!), 3 quieter powerful fans (tired of feeling like my room is in a Boeing 737), tubing (expensive Tygon).
3) PC Hardware interim upgrade galore. New CPU (Core 2 Duo 'Wolfdale SLAPL'), new ram kit (2x2GB PC8500 ram).

And that crap was only the major stuff I bought last week!

Refrain!

Stop spending!
