    Only if its mechanized or automized. A robot burglar. :)

    And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
    "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

    And I smiled and was happy
    And it came worse.

                    In all the chaos you have not told us what components you had orderificated. A nice I7 quadcore?

                        I got an i5 quad core as the cpu cost would have doubled if I had gone for an i7 and reading up on CPUs the difference is not always apparent(I am sure I will be corrected on this). Anyway here we go: Intel Core i5 2500 s1155 ASUS P8Z68-V LX Z68 MO/BO 8GB 4x2GB CMX8GX3M4A1600C9 XMP 750W CM EXTREME GX 80+ PSU ANTEC NINE HUNDRED GAMERS CASE MS Win 7 Home Prem 64bit 500G SGATE ST9500325AS NB SATA SH-S222AB/BEBE 22x dvdrw

                          They force me to use an I5 here at work and have an I7 at home. I do see a *slight* difference, but I'm sure that there are also other factors like 4GB RAM vs. 16 GB RAM.
