3000 Informative and Educational Posts

[Dareos]

Well, 3000 posts anyway

I was on the verge of complaining bitterly to the HEXUS staff about the state of our postal system and their inability to deliver mugs, tankards and any other post relevant reward in recent years.

Shortly before I finished typing a 6000 word diatribe lambasting this sorry state of affairs, i received an email notifying me of a personal message from Hexus. Excellent, i thought, this will be my free Hexus mug that I have lusted after since my first post many many moons ago. I immediatley clicked on notifications on the top right, discarding my lengthy condemnation of our lacklustre mail delivery service and their warehouses full of undelivered Hexus beverage containers and opened my private message folder.

To my dismay, It was not my much lamented mug winging my way towards me, but a plea for help from a certain DR, who needed me to build and review an AMD HTPC system for him. Well, I thought, its not a mug or tankard, but it'll keep me amused for a while.....


And i'll stop that there before anyone does take me seriously

DR got in touch last tuesday to let me know i'm one of the 2 winners of this competition

To say I am stoked is putting it mildly. I am really really looking forward to putting this together and posting pics and doing my best to provide a concise and accurate review.

I will no doubt need some advice as to which software to install on the finished product, looking forward to peoples opinions on that

So, 3000th post is a big big thankyou to Hexus and AMD, and a congrats to the other winner of this bundle.

Cheers

I am not jealous of people who win great prizes and suck up to the boss.

that's one way of improving upon the "yay I made xxxx posts" threads.

next person to reach a significant number (probably cat for 20,000) will have to do something super duper special.
the bar has been raised, you need to go way above it or not atall


have fun with your HTPC dareos..
