Today I went to CompUSA very briefly, and got the video card. We didn’t waste any time in the store, just went to the case, said we wanted it, paid, and got out. There’s no reason to stay in there longer than necessary. I worked there years ago, and know first hand that most of the people that work there are not especially helpful. So anyway, I’ve got my first item sitting around waiting for the rest to arrive.
The only other update is that the monitor has shipped, so that should be here fairly soon. So that’s a pretty good day for CompUSA, surprisingly enough. Both the other sites I ordered from are still processing at the warehouse. Newegg.com says that it is sealed and ready to ship already, so hopefully that’ll go out tomorrow and be here in a few days. I predicted as soon as I put in the orders that I would be sitting around waiting for Buy.com to send the sound card once everything else was here, and I think that’s going to be correct. Hopefully it’ll all be here this weekend though, and I can spend my days off doing assembly.
More as it occurrs…
