Opinions????? I'm a PC

I'm looking for suggestions/input as I'm in the market for a new desktop computer - tower only. What's important to me is a VERY fast CPU, 8 GB DDR2 an independent graphics card, and a minimum of 500 GB . So, ANY suggestions/thoughts/experiences? If you have an Intel Core 2 Quad, has it lived up to your expectations? Recommendations for a graphics card? Make....is there a difference anymore or are they all similar? What resources do you access when researching? Do you think cNet or PCWorld provide unbiased reviews ??? Thanks in advance!

What surprises await me....

Growing up in a northern climate, I never tire of the color and warmth of summer time. Now that September has arrived, I'm even more grateful for the warm days, punctuated with crisp fresh mornings that cool the air.

I walked inside from my studio earlier this morning to refill my coffee and the views of the light and color through my front and back doors delighted me. I snapped these photos to keep as a reminder of these precious moments. But for now, for this moment, for this day, I will venture outdoors, away from the blue computer screen, the art table, the sewing machine and venture into the warm sunlight soaking in as much as I can while it is still here.

He wasn't all about horror..... All Things Poe Tarot Deck

Six of Batons

Although the composition of this card is pretty much complete, I can't decide which variation in colors I prefer, so I thought I'd ask for some input? In other words, "Poll the Audience" :0)

If you could leave a comment that states the order of your preference eg) 231, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!
