Instant coffee >


Ya know, you'll go to hell for lying :D

Best coffee = Folgers Classic Roast (medium) made very thin...like tea, so I can drink it all day.

I drink Folgers instant.



If I'm at work I drink Green Mountian Dark Magic k-cups.

Almost got those, but figured the suede would get all messed up after a while.  Last pair of Clark's lasted me like 12 years.  I spray silicone sealant on them the day I get them....sorta like spending all day rubbing Neatsfoot oil into a baseball glove, only a lot faster  :)


40 dollar shoes I'm not really worried. I only wear em to the offices anyway.

/e Also decided that I'm gonna look around for something, with a nice felt backing for my coffee cup and ashtray and things that I like to keep on desktop to the left of the monitor...aka... as far from the comp as possible :)

THIS + about $2000....






... = THIS, and this ain't even complete yet.





UPDATE:

Things still to do:

1. Get EVGA GTX 680 and install it in comp.
2. Build Hutch, mod it, and install it on desk.
3. Get new mousepad and something for coffee cups and ashtrays, to left of monitor.
4. Make hole in desk back panel for keyboard and mouse wires.
5. Get some decent sounding, good looking speakers.
6. Get SMALL 3/4" high x 3/4" wide...somethings...to put under front edge of desk top side panels to make up for the slope of the floor.
7. Then move all the crap that used to be on old desktop into the 4 cabinets on the Hutch.
8. Maybe, attach plug strip to upper back panel of desk...to keep it off the floor and out of sight.
9. Scrape rest off Newegg sticker off file cabinet, and paint the wood blocks that raise my comp case...prolly grey. (That Newegg sticker has some serious sticky stuff on it, even when you get some scraped off, it sticks to your fingers and is very hard to get off.)
10. Get something nice looking to put pens and stuff in as well.
11. Sleep for about a week straight.

Hutch Fans:

Can be daisy chained, will run off either USB or 120v AC. One set of dual fans moves 104 cfm @ 26 dBa. One USB or AC adapter (included) will run up to four fans.

Not yet, but I'm usually at the end of the UPS drivers route....when it gets here I will take pics of IT, and the fans for the Hutch and post them.

/e Almoost forgot...prolly tomorrow I'm gonna hit Home Depot for a cordless drill driver, some masking tape and some brad point bits....for the Hutch mods.

/ee With brad point bits and masking tape, I can drill thru the desk and Hutch panels, w/o messing up the veneer.

Maybe, as long as I can play single player with no, always online connection. If for no other reason, than to be able to bench the 8350 and the 680 in Crysis 3. I just wish it wasn't set in a city this time :/
