I intend to use my own excellent hardware at SCALE 12x; anything else received will be supplemental. I enjoy (and have professional experience as a consultant) shopping for hardware I won't be using and with a strategy of getting the most bang for the purchaser's buck. I'm also less than 1 hour from NewEgg's SoCal distribution center which can help save on shipping expenses. Furthermore, I am proficient at and enjoy building systems. Finally, I would even consider parting with some of my own money toward the effort. -- Paul M Edwards http://about.me/PaulMEdwards On Jan 20, 2014 5:39 PM, "Emily Gonyer" <[email protected]> wrote:
