Nice, very nice. Once again HH has amazed me. What's even more amazing is how you can part with such a sexy looking case. If I had my hands on that thing I don't think I could part with it!

lol, why's it got to be the corner. Was I bad or somethingWink.

On a serious note though guys I have been a member of this forum for 3 years next month and I have to say I have received way more advice than I have given. Maybe that will change 3 years from now cause if I could imagine how much I would know by than judgeing by what I have learned here in 3 years than I could def contribute alot more. I kinda feel indepted to this place and all the people here since I literally knew nothing about computers when I joined. In fact I have learned so much here that it has no longer become a hobby. I have been cabling a large data center for months now and talking alot with the Tech's on site and have been talked into a new career path. They want me to go for my MS certified systems engineer cert and get into the IT field. They say with my knowledge of computers and my networking background that I will have a huge advantage over a majority of the tech's in the feild now. So this summer I will start studying for it and most of that is due to the large amount of knowledge I have gained here at HH. The giveaways and contest are just a wonderfull bonus imo to an already superb community. I could never say thank you enough.
