Welcome to the LR Boards!! Sounds like you have your priorities in order. What's your game of choice, or is it all school work now?

Welcome aboard.

I have fond memories of my Soyo Dragon MB.

Hang around this site seems to be a really good place to get the straight skinny on systems and setups

GTR2 is supposed to be a really good PC racing simulator. I played the demo and it wasn't bad at all on my old machine. I need to pick up a steering wheel and GTR2 to play on my new machine.

Anyway, welcome to the forums!
