You got it on the nose. I was force fed Clint growing up. I think my dad was his biggest fan. There are only a few people in this world that I think should never age. Clint is one of them.

So let me get this right... Your son painted that? Good genes my friend!

Western themed project... hmmm, that'd be interesting... we'd (you) have to incorporate some tumbleweeds somewhere in there and a big ole hog-leg revolver.

We only game together about once a month when I throw a LAN party. I invite over a few of my friends and a few of their friends so we have maybe 6-8 gamers at one time. I have 7 machines normally available for gaming and I can hook up an additional one if needed.

Tom is an art student at GMU. He is the one painting the Alien and Predator images on my Cosmos side panels. My other son Chris is getting ready to graduate from HS. Four years between them was the result of financial planning - don't have two kids in college at the same time. Tom is taking an extra year since he switched majors (computer science to some type of art degree) so we will have some $$$ overlap.

Progress is slow but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Tom did some work today on the Predator panel. I'm sure he could finish it if he just put the time into this instead of dealing with school and other silly stuff. Anyway, here's a bit more of the Predator panel:

The Predator claw is proving to be a bit difficult to paint. Do you guys think it looks right?

I wish I could report on the system temps, but I can't find any tools in this 64-bit version of Windows Vista that indicate things like motherboard chipset temps, CPU temp, etc. I've gone through the system status screens and I've checked the nVidia nTune tool. So I really don't know what system temperatures I'm running right now but it feels cool in the critical areas of the CPU and motherboard chipset. I suppose I could boot into the BIOS and check for temps there. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow.

Anyway, thanks for the comments on the Predator. I'll pass them on to Tom. :alien:

Oh this Predator panel is taking forever! There has been recent progress however so here are a few pictures. I think Bill's recent CPU cover has helped inspire my son Tom to finish this panel now. The only major thing left for the panel is the laser range finder. Sorry 'bout the messed up 2nd image but it looks kind of cool....
