Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

I jumped on when I got the chance just for a quick badge run.  Inien was in SC2 playing the single player campaign and thanks to the new realid system I was able to chat with him while I did my instance run

Of course one of the real reasons I got on was to see my new pet mini thor   You all know how much of a pet nut I am and this pet is exceptionally cool I must say!  The model is very well done and he is highly animated!

He constantly kept jumping up and flying around me and shooting stuff!  I kept him out during my Azjol-Nerub run   Definitely made the CE worth it for just him alone!

Of course the other big news of the day was my decision to finally re-get my gaming computer.  I kept going back and forth on if I should upgrade my Mac or just buy a gaming PC.  My Mac still does everything just fine and you are really limited on video card choices with the Mac as well.  As you recall late last year I tried to buy one but then it got back ordered and then delayed and eventually I just canceled it with the intention of ordering it again after the first of the year but it got delayed a bit

I decided to skip SSD right now and just stripe some really fast HDs, went with the Geforce 470 as it seems to edge out ATI, and grabbed the i7 930 as it is the sweet spot on price and seems to be very easily over clocked to 4Ghz

• ASUS P6X58D-E Mother Board
• Intel® Core™ i7 930 Processor (4x 2.80GHz/8MB L3 Cache)
• 6 GB [2 GB X3] DDR3-1600 – A-DATA Gaming Series
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 – 1.5GB – EVGA Superclocked
• 600 GB WD Velociraptor HARD DRIVE — 32M Cache, 10000 RPM, 6.0Gb/s – Dual 600GB Drives (1.2TB Capacity) – RAID 0 High Performance
• 875 Watt — Thermaltake Toughpower XT TPX-875M Power Supply
• Thermaltake Element G Gaming Case – Black

This should last me for a while and I’ll be able to hopefully try out some other PC games I haven’t been able to play without a lot of pain in dual booting.  I ordered this from ibuypower again mainly because I don’t think I have the patience to build it myself anymore hehe  Their custom built machines are pretty reasonable, and they have good build quality.  I’ve known quite a few people who have got some good quality machines from them.  I don’t know when it is coming in yet, but I will probably take that week off work to play with it!
