Hey!
I am eyeing a GTX780, and Googling brought me to svl7's famous thread. I then kept reading some more and liked the forum, so I might be here to stay!
I'm from Cadiz, the southernmost province of Andalusia, here in Spain. I've been a geek since I was born, always tinkering with all kinds of things, getting zapped, tearing down toys and what not to guess how they work and tweak them...
I got a 800MHz Duron when I was 5 and all this started when my uncle (a great person that taught me a good deal of IT) visited us one day to repair that old Duron. I was intrigued by how all those cables and shiny things worked together, and he guided me through what I had to do to bring that bad boy back to life. It was an amazing experience, and 11 years after that here I am dealing with watercooled rigs, ESXi servers, Arch Linux (<3), helping my parents' schools (they are both teachers) IT infrastructure development (I have crimped way more RJ45 than I should have!), reading CS books, aiming for a CompSci degree and hoping to one day work as my "dream job", a Linux System Administrator. Also, recently I picked up LCodeTHW to learn some basics of programming (starting with C), and it's been a quite interesting journey so far!
I am not really a notebook guy, I am more of a desktop/server guy. Maybe the reason is that I never had the need of a powerful laptop, I'm happy with a standard laptop as long as it can do some text processing, Internet browsing and music playing. But maybe when I go to college I will need a beefier thing if I can't bring my rig with me. It seems this forum is similar to NBR, but better!
I hope to stay here for a long time!

I am probably going to buy a Gigabyte 780 with the stock cooler this summer!
Anything you think I should know beforehand?
