is my favorite comparative for the day.

My computer is here and is everything I ever dreamed of.  Well, except I didn't know that SLI and multiple monitors were not very good friends (a.k.a. mutually exclusive), so I'm either going to get an additional cheap-o GPU to support a second monitor, or I will selectively enable SLI only when I need it, or I will return the GPU or sell it to someone who wants one.  Anyone want an nVidia 9800 GTX 512 MB GPU?  It's freakin' amazing even by itself instead of SLI (my only test was Oblivion on max settings, but it smoked it).  I'll give you the same price for which I got it (which was actually a pretty darn good price) -- you save shipping. :D

Oh.  Four dogs and a cat are a lot to take care of.  Especially when they tear things apart when you aren't looking, pee multiple times on the carpet while you're taking care of the things they tore apart, bark at the neighbors (who already called animal control) while you're cleaning up the pee, and chase the cat out of the window while you're consoling the neighbors
