I got a bonus at work and took some of that to upgrade the various computers in the house. All the parts arrived last night, and I promptly disassembled my computer and replaced the guts with stuff from cardboard boxes. Amazingly enough, everything turned on with my first attempt and after all the drivers were installed, most everything worked. The exceptions were the CD-ROM drives and the second hard drive. I just fixed the CD-ROM drives this morning and will eventually get around to the second hard drive. I hardly use the thing as my first has so much drive space.

In terms of the performance, I'm pretty happy. Things that took awhile are now quite snappy. I had to test out Bioshock at the highest resolution and it was a smooth as silk.
