A minor bio of who the heck I am, and why I may be of value to the staff here: I'm 26 (not relevent, but hey ), have a BS in MIS, an MCSE, and a CNE. I currently work for a Fortune 500 company that is in the wire and cable industry as their IS Manager in the Northeast.
I run a consulting business on the side that has done work for the US Government, IBM, and several other major organizations.
I also have a unique relationship with several major suppliers of computer equipment - a relationship that allows me to procure samples for evaluation at low or no cost. In addition, being the IS guy gives you access to all kinds of neat new gear which can be reviewed as well.
Many of you might know me from the RSE forums, the Counter-Strike.net forums, or possibly from the hardocp forums.
Anyhow, if you have any questions about hardware, software, or anything else - feel free to drop me a line and I'll see what I can do to help you out.

Later,
