Big Huge Mega Update

Okay, I finally got most of my Fry's recepits together, so here's a big update on what I've been up to:

4/23 - Had to get moving supplies so I snagged a 3M packing tape gun and a few rolls of tape. Of course, I couldn't resist picking up a Maximum PC (why don't I just subscribe?), Wario Ware for the GameCube, and Star Trek 3 Special Edition. Total Money Spent: $73.01

5/7 - After the move there were a lot more DVDs and games to store, so I bought another Atlantic DVD tower and some coax connectors for the DirecTV wiring. Total Money Spent: $55.51

5/17 - Figured out that I needed a lot of new cables to hook up the AV equipment in the new house. Component video and optical audio cables were the order of the day (Monster). Total Money Spent: $114.70

5/22 - The inside of my computer case was a mess with virtually no airflow. The Radeon 9700 Pro paid the price during a session of Painkiller. To aid in keeping my new card (Radeon 9800 Pro) alive, I outfitted the motherboard with new Vantec rounded IDE and floppy cables. Total Money Spent: $25.95

5/22 - (Yes, the same day) The network situation in the house was getting a bit ridiculous (dropped wireless signals, no way to connect the TiVo/Xbox, lack of security, etc.) so I migrated to a Buffalo wireless system. To help out the signal a bit I got the WLE-NDR antenna for the router. In addition, I had to get a new microwave (Daewoo KOR-630A) and a few cans of compressed air to clean out the newly cabled case. Total Money Spent: $121.21

Wow, that's a hell of a lot of money spent! $390.38. I won't even hazard a guess as to the time spent right now. I can say that in the past few weeks I've gone in but haven't spent any money. To quote Martha Stewart... "It's a good thing".
