Well then!

The processor is installed and the computer is assembled. The OS is installed (Windows XP if I recall), but we need to do all the updates. This is an OLD copy. Old enough that it doesn't even include Service Pack 1. O.o So, the thing will be downloading updates and patches all friggin' night. Then, tomorrow, I can finally install City of Heroes and City of Villains, and get to character-creation! Yay!

One small thing- we weren't able to get the originally-chosen processor, because they didn't have it in stock. However, the one we did get is more than sufficient. If I want to, I'll upgrade to a dual-core sometime down the line.

Thanks to mirrdae for helping get the bits together and supplying the OS, and to foeclan for putting the damn thing together and getting the software-installations started! Additional thanks will be issued to whomever else helps out with the beast. :)

As to other things, I'm now at work with little drive to write. If I get in the mood later I'll try to get something done, either the Werewolf synopsis, or the journal posts from Goblin in the vanguard_x community.

Oh, one last thing. The new machine is named GIGAN. I'll put up its exact specs when I get home this coming morning. :)
