Oh well, not quite what I was hoping...
My Amazon list had every single part I wanted for my X79 build along with a month of very strong hints to my beloved...
I got
A jumper
2 x T-shirts
An Ikea voucher




A book
2 shirts - one nice, one very very bad
A Noctura NH-D14-2011



So epic fail as it means that Im a couple of hundred short for my build so can't order the whole lot today.
Apparently she didn't want to spend any money on a whole load of stuff when she didn't understand what it does.
She is an expert on CPU cooling apparently
now Im in a tech quandry, do I wait until Jan 20th for the C2 stepping, or order what I can now and the rest in Feb..
Not sure I could bear having half the bits I need knocking around the house for a build but not being able to put anything together - that would be pure torture.
Was hoping to spend the holiday putting a build together - oh well, stronger hints needed next time...
