Oh I'm so down. I still play zombie escape sometimes on CS:S. Never gets old. So down for Office.

Also 15 years for me. Fuck man we are getting old as shit.

Also, loving Back 4 Blood. Highly recommend to everyone who enjoys coop zombie action. I play on steam. gLiTch handle was retired with FT. You can find me as theRemedy on Steam friends.

Super down for a rerun. I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on. I would look forward to that very much

 So I'm building a relatively inexpensive HTPC. The whole point is to finally put my four external drives to use and provide easy access to all of my content. I also want to use it as an HDDVR. Just thought I'd share for you guys and hear your input.

Case: XION XON-560 mATX/ ITX Meshed Mini Tower Case
-[link]-

PSU: Antec EarthWatts Green EA-380D Green 380W Continuous power ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
-[link]-

MOBO: MSI A78M-E45 FM2+ / FM2 AMD A78 (Bolton D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
-[link]-

CPU/GPU: AMD Quad Core A10-Series APU for Desktops A10-6800K with Radeon HD 8670D
-[link]-

SSD: Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III (Got this for $50 unused)
-[link]-

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL

Cooler: GELID Solutions CC-Shero-01-A 120mm Hydro CPU Cooler
-[link]-

Disk Drive: ASUS 24X DVD Burner
-[link]-

I also have a Crucial SSD someone gave me, brand new. Not sure of the model. And a 1TB internal WD drive I have left over from an older build. TV Tuner will be bought later.

 I was going for cheap and the case was cheaper than the silverstone HTPC cases. It's been running great since I put it together, I actually find myself using it as an actual PC more than an HTPC, but all my torrents go straight to that now. Well worth the money
