Hello people!
August is dripping away, and for a lot of you school is at the doors.
As for me, and my university bunch, we'll be lucky if everything starts in October (due to a lot of manifestations for cuts to Universities budget and Researchers hiring). In a certain sense this is nice for those like me that started summer just a month ago, around this period in July. In fact this leaves me the time to work on a software I have in workshop to gain some cash, and finalize some stuffs without the pressure of classes.
As for the "stuffs", I have 'finally' 'almost' 'totally' decided my new pc specs.
I know, I know, I am at this since more than a month ago, but too much came up, included the summer holidays for resellers.

As you guys can guess, I am going for a nVidia 3D Vision setup.
For those of you who don't know what a nVidia 3D Vision is, or just randomly read that name a few times: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/3d-vision-home-users-uk.html
I am having in these days a price check up for the GPUs and Monitors (yea it needs to be a 120 hz monitor to be compatible). Particularly for the GPUs, they are all based on the Fermi GF104 GTX 460 architecture that actually seems to have the best price/performance ratio in the enthusiast market segment, if I find a nice bargain I may get 2 of those and go for a powerhouse SLI.
Both those monitors have the same TN panel, so it's mainly a matter of which one will have the lower price.
I'll keep you updated in the next entry about how this will develop.
As for health, I removed my suturation knots, and I am now dealing with the leftovers of my contusions.
As for MMORPG, FFXIV Open Beta should be due the starting of September, I hope I can go finally go to GameStop to pre-order my Collector Edition copy.
Oh and yea, if any DODF (Dragons Of Dark Flame) former member is reading this, and has FaceBook, please get into:
it's our FaceBook group, and we're trying to revitalize it since our "break" is almost over.
See ya!
