Garbage air hockey table! Particle board piece of crap. Two hours of my life wasted last night. No holes lined up, missing hardware, mismarked pieces. Oh well, I'm sure the kids won't know the difference.

I used 23 hours of my life over the last 7 days putting together the LEGO Death Star with super glue. Well worth it too. No regrets. He loves it. And is totally stoked to get it. Of course Santa gets all the credit. No sweat off my back. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I built 4 computers within 7 days of Christmas. The final one I assembled, loaded Windows XP, drivers, loaded programs and did all the updates in one night. This was all done so everyone has their own computer and wont fight over who gets on the internet..... now I get to chase viruses in all those machines...... its the gift that keeps on giving!!!

If it runs xp still sounds like they are still useful to average users. Props for giving it all away. But asskickn you gotta ghost/img a fresh copy of windows with all the updates and needed apps on a flash drive and slip steam the needed drivers for each comp. Install windows xp/updates/drivers/apps in 15 minutes.

Yeah, I got use out a lot of those parts. I'm going to put the one with neon in it together and get it running. The monitors helped out too, all together they finished off the whole project. The only copy of Windows XP I had was SP1 so applying all the updates were some work but I just had them running in pairs and updating while I watched a movie. Thanks again!
