Week in Review (WiR) 11.23.09

Built a "super PC" last week, and when I turned it on, it actually worked! It has an Intel Core i7 920 CPU, an ASUS P6T motherboard with 4 GB RAM, a Western Digital Velociraptor 150 GB HDD that I may double up on, and is liquid cooled with a Corsair H50. The video card is a Radeon 4650 1 GB. This past week saw the delivery of an HP Touchsmart 600t for my wife, upgrading from a poor little Dell C600 laptop that was on its last legs. She's happy so far, and it will let me play with the touch interface. Today the electrician comes to make sense out of all the wires I have running around here, and to mitigate the fire hazard I've created. Next, migration to the current Motion C5 tablet, and the possibility of switching to a Palm Pre, if Verizon finally comes out with one in the new year. I want to do it a little differently this time around...oh, and I'm anxiously awaiting the Comcast roll out of their super-fast DOCSIS 3.0 service, which everywhere but Detroit seems to have. Little help!
