+1. There's something nice about having lunch in central London and then heading off to the airport.

Yeah, you east coasters make out on those! I really like the VS later nighter as well. 20:00 IIRC.

I don't think i've ever taken a flight that late out of LON. I'm flying to IAD anyways, though the flights tomorrow are looking full and i'm hoping for some bump action.

but it probably doesn't support two monitors... and I can't figure out how many SATA ports it has...

It has 4 SATA ports total. Decent detail of system specs here:

The monitor support is a bit trickier. I believe the chipset it uses has a built in VGA port on the motherboard, and the GeForce 9300 has at least 1-DVI out. You can't use those in tandem, but haven't figured out if there is a second port on the Nvidia card yet.

Originally it was a reward ticket. Then I realized I needed some more miles to hit my 125k on UA and that i didn't want to do any more runs.

At T-8 days, I managed to find EWR-FRA-LHR-IAD-LGA for $834 all upgradable. Managed to burn a SWU for EWR-FRA and i'm wait listed for LHR-IAD.

Good Morning Box.

I've been up since 7am. This is something so wrong with having to set one's alarm clock on the weekend. Had to get the dog to the dog park, then get ready for the Big Game this afternoon. My son has to be at school at 11am so that they can ride down to their game, which is an hour south of here. The parents are planning to tailgate before hand so I have to be ready also. :rolleyes:

Kick off is at 3pm. A win today puts them into the Championship game next weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for the team. My son lost his position as the place kicker but still is doing the kick offs and field goals and is sometimes put into the game as a wide receiver. Maybe today the quarterback will throw the ball his way.

Later.

There usually is not a second port, so for two monitors you would have to disable the on-board card in the BIOS and add a two-port card. :rolleyes: ...I've not had much luck with add-in cards when using an on-board one as well.

MBM3's new machine might be enough muscle to properly run MS Flight Simulator. :rolleyes:

Good Day Box!

Hope Ya'll are well this weekend! It is another fine sunny day in good ol' CLT. My son and I went to see "2012" and "The Blind Side" yesterday. Man, they packed them in for the "The Blind Side" screens were selling out at each showing.

Also, in other news, I know that there are some AA flying folks in teh Box. If so, it appears that another batch of DEQMs are posting this weekend. Mine did and I crossed the 125,000 threshold which means that I can get a few one more goodies with their elite award program!^
