My son and I just built a computer for him. It was great fun, a nice father-son bonding experience Half of the parts were hand-me-downs and the other half were spec'd out by Budwise, purchased at newegg in the States and brought back in our luggage.
Damn good looking list of participants. Will be fun to spectate this bad boy. I'll be sure to hype it on the SNF finals as well. So you guys have a broadcast schedule yet?
I've never once had a PC soundcard that I've been happy with. Has anybody? The creative drivers frequently crash and bug out and it seems they have the market cornered.
