Im going to have to go pick that up tomorrow... keep my mind off the beta
I've been browsing the web, hoping to be pleasantly surprised regarding the release dates of SW:TOR and GW2. No luck. I bought Fallout New Vegas last night thinking bugs would be pretty much gone by now (just as I did with Fallout 3 GOTY a good while back) but they're not, the music is STILL screwed. <_<
I also picked up smoking, because I never seem to realize that it does not help my nerves at all. Until I've started again, that is. Which happened partially because the wait for D3 to go retail is killing me.
Working out, working, schoolwork, checking these forums / battle.net account when I'm bored (10+ a day)... Honestly I only want to try the beta before release, just to educate myself for release play. I just want the beta to be over and done with.
Top it all off... still playing Diablo II HCC, maintaining #1 useast with my team.
I'll separate Diablo related stuff from non-Diablo related stuff
Diablo related:
Watched all of Force's Beta Play Through videos for a good third time.
Tuned into a good 5-10 livestreams, skipping from one to another randomly.
Wandered these forums like a lost puppy.
Played with the skill calculator.
Randomly drift off into a daydream about playing D3, in 2560x1440 on my yet to exist gaming rig, which brings me to the Non-Diablo related things.
Non-Diablo related:
Meticulously reviewed every single part of the gaming rig I plan on building this winter to play any and all upcoming games for the next few years on max settings.
Put together multiple plans to gather the last half of the funds I'll need for this rig by the time D3 comes out.
Thought about how in no way a mentally healthy person would plan to spend this much on a PC..

Going to class till 16h (GMT+2) something like 8h in the morning in US. Don't really know if that's good or bad? By the time I actually have to start studying, all the shit is going on on D-fans...it keeps me out of my work man./rant off Keep D-fans tab open the whole time, posting, waiting for stuff to happen. Also visit theChive. Watch series and study.

How much do you plan on spending? I've built the last few pc's I've owned and I have found out the hard way, intel extreme processors, top of the line graphics and liquid cooling are hardly necessary to achieve top gaming performance =)
Note... I'm a big fan of spending $ on the shit I want, cash & carry =)
Edit - I'd be more than happy to help you out if you need some good ideas.
Played a couple games of HoN, studied up for my French exam tonight, made breakfast and lunch, had a chat with the girlfriend. Currently listening to my Autechre station on Pandora, and about to go take a shower to go to class.
Also paid the water bill, yeah! And I check my email every 30 minutes or so.

I'm planning to spend about 3k, not including accessories like the monitor or input devices.
I'm pretty set on liquid cooling, not because I plan to OC to an extreme degree, but just because I'm really looking forward to the challenge, and to be 100% honest, I LOVE the way a nicely build, UV reactant liquid system looks ;).
After a lot of time researching benchmarks and general part feed back here's my general part list, not including all the little things like water components or anything. Let me know what you think!
Case: Corsair 650D
Mobo: Gigabyte G1 Sniper 2 (Expensive, but it's gaming benchmarks beat even the Rampage 3, and I love the heatsink style lol.)
CPU: i7 2600k (3.4ghz factory)
GPU: GTX 580 Classified (Not out yet, should be in the next month at the latest)
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB DDR3 1866 (Can't go wrong for $150 :P)
Everything else is just kinda irrelevant I guess, but yeah those are my base components!
.. Actually, this isn't off topic, it's how I've been passing my time!

smoking what? lol
Spamming F5 + the piles and piles of homework I have because of procrastination caused by the impending Beta...
+1 but the right stuff.
