Thinly Veiled Excuse of Drink and Game for Make Benefit Glorious Operating System of Windows 7! (The Presentation, The Pictures)
The pictures... the presentation...
Prepare yourself, oye... :)
*NOTE
These videos are available in HD on youtube, so click on 'em to go to youtube, or just watch and laugh here.
So we started out with some music, we oooh'd and aww'd over a new Windows 7 laptop one of the guests brought in. We moved on to some Rock Band 2, and some Skype conferencing with another party in North Carolina.
We ate some pizza, drank a bit, fooled aruond, and started the presentation, which... I gave you above.
After we moved onto a Bomberman Live contest that ended in me giving away the Party Pack copy of Windows 7 Ultimate!
Second place got the poster. :)

What I've Bought Lately: UPS
I bought a Cyberpower CP1285AVRLCD UPS
I got 2 for $200 total from Buy.com. (Now they're available on Amazon for $108 each)

I'm using one for my television / stereo / gaming equipment, and one for my computer equipment in the other room.

What I've Bought Lately: Video Card
Well, I hosted that Windows 7 Party and had my computer hooked up to my television (Toshiba 40RV525U 40" LCD) and realized if I wanted HD Audio I had to use three minijack/headphone to rca converters and send them to my receiver... I don't have an optical audio out (toslink) or a coaxial audio out port on my motherboard (ECS G31T-M
, purchased for free at a Fry's B&M store) so... I needed to remedy that.
My video card, an XFX GeForce 8600GT worked well, but didn't have any native hdmi out, just two dual-link DVI which are great and work with DVI-HDMI converters, but... do not output audio.
So I looked for the best card I could get for under $100 that did not take up two slots. nVidia didn't have anything to offer with these requirements, however AMD/ATi did, I found a HIS Radeon HD 4670 that fit the bill.
It may take up two slots, but it's "second slot" is to the LEFT, not to the right, and I had space to the left!
So, that's what I've bought lately
