    Let me just start out by saying don't buy anything from Alienware. I have laptop (very expensive gaming rig) I was having problems with and they kept it for a quite a while. AW sent it back to me they said it was ready to find it DOA. I sent it back for repairs. I have been without a computer, My wife and kids say I can't use theirs cus I dont know when to get off. I have the motor for my car at the machine shop hopefully it will be ready soon. I went with 40 over and lower compression pistons to accommodate the turbo setup. I wish I had pics but I thought if I was going to have the motor redone I might as well get it setup for turbo. I also sent the spare block there too and its getting honed and hot tanked and cleaned up. I'm putting a stroker kit in it also but with stock bore so If i ever have to rebore it later I can re-use the block. I will try to post pics of the motors when I get them back. I also will try to post pics of the turbo headers that I made from the set of headers that came off of one my cars. I had to cut them up and reweld them I have to send them to get ceramacoated hopefully I will send those out some time next 2 weeks.

    I disagree...I do all my own work, and build all my own personal computers. Just like on my cars, I don't trust someone else working on them:huh:

    computer repair

    funny thing about computer repair is that I have my A+ certification for computer repair and I also have experience in electronic repairs. I'm a certified mcsa and novell network certified admin and have experience in c++, and basic programming. I sent the computer because I got the unlimited 3 yr 24/7 warranty and figured I would let them fix it since I already paid for it, just didn't workout like I planned.:cry:

    So, what? double negative or something? Two separate sentences. Both stating that I do my own work on my own cars and computers. And the work isn't hard to find, since all I gotta do is put the beer down and do it myself:D

    Do WHAT:bananaman :dancing: :hmmm:

    So, you had to take dance lessons to get permission to get the motor fixed:hmmm:

    Man, it's all good. I had to stop working on my car (almost street legal again) and put down wood floors over the past week or so. Guess who's idea that was:rolleyes:

    Get that car running, swing by, and we can go for a drive, hit the drag strip on a friday night(y)
