Finally, all the components were in place and the couple things that were stopping me from giving the final touches were bought in the nearby Fry's and its all done.
I also ordered a Dell SP2208WFP 22 inch monitor and got it shipped yesterday and the machine is finally up to its full glory.
Installing software is the only bit that is pending. Hopefully this weekend would provide me with an opportunity to finish it off and also I need to find a good location for my home-office.
More deals allowed me to buy a few more things:
Am still not sure about the cabinet and the monitor. I should be settling on something soon.
Preparing taxes every year is an arduous task. Last year it was a friendly neighborhood H&R Block that helped. This year, the rate they decided to charge me was as much as $180. That was a little too expensive and I decided to try my hand at preparing taxes myself using the TurboTax software. I purchased TurboTax Deluxe and was simply amazed at how much information it could obtain with just my SSN and Employer's ID. It pretty much filled everything for me. The only confusion still lurking on my mind is the relocation expenditure part. Should I fill the 3903 form or not. Tax advice is expensive to come by and every friend I spoke to came up with a different suggestion so far. Hope that I do the right thing.
I managed to find a deal and buy the 8600GT on newegg. I also managed to buy the 4GB RAM from Fry's.
Now the confusing part is whether to go for the dual or quad core processor. The dual core 3GHz processor is more expensive than the quad core. Might end up buying the quad core processor.
