I just finished upgrading my computer with the cheap motherboard and processor I got through Intel's Retail Edge program. So now I'm running a 2.53 GHz Pentium 4 with 512 MB DDR RAM. The great part is the total cost of the upgrade (processor, motherboard, new case, new cooling fan, and memory) was only about $400. Ah, one of the few good things about working in retail.

Make that worked in retail. I officially quit Best Buy yesterday. I got all of this stuff and did all of my Christmas shopping, what more do I need them for?

Man, first a new car, then a "new" computer, then you tell Best Buy to stick it? Do you have another job lined up?

Yeah, I've been working as a teller at Commerce Bank (http://www.commerceonline.com) for about a month now. Though I quit Best Buy officially only yesterday, my last day of work there was about two months ago right before I broke my pinkie playing football for my store's team.
