To Fry's, or not to Fry's?

[mdlbear]

Fry's has a combination CPU, Abit motherboard, and Antec Aria cube case on sale this weekend. $160; figure about $200 with RAM. I could move Dorsai (the bedroom/recording box) into the case, which would be a better fit with the cart it's on, and use the MB/CPU in the office. It would be quieter, and I could use the current box (Harmony) as the guest machine.

OTOH, that's $200 I don't really have right now -- the finances are pretty marginal, and we haven't done a proper budget yet. I'm trying to set a good example here. For that matter, it's time I ought to be spending on more productive things, and there's already a lot to do this weekend. I should wait for the deal to come around again, or buy it in pieces.

Grump.
