Update on my progress

[M1A2Tanker]

The system is almost up.  

Why do I say almost?  Well, we ran into some problems at first, like not having the right size fan, and too weak power supply (which they replaced no charge), but the biggest problem right now is that the CPU I had ordered was defective.  It was causing most of the problems, as the motherboard couldn't boot up to even let them into the BIOS.

So I sent it back (and we made sure it was the CPU and not the motherboard that was bad), and hopefully I'll have a new one back in 72 hours.  

At best, I'll be up and flying this Friday.  At worse, it'll be sometime next week, if all goes well (and the supplier doesn't try to stiff me).
