I'm going to try to refrain from buying computers for a while

Core i7 is out, so needless to say I’ve been lurking on Newegg even more than usual lately.  As much as I’d love to build the new uber-machine, on some level I realize that I don’t really need it.  With the exception of the CPU, everything in my current rig is pretty nice (the CPU will probably be replaced with a Q6600 once the prices drop a little bit more), and I’ve yet to really tax this machine.

Should be interesting to see how long I can hold out on sinking more money into a newer machine, but I’m hoping I can hold out at least past the release of Nehalem’s 32nm successor.
