I'm set to graduate high school in roughly 30 days. I've found a place to live for the summer, and will be gainfully employed at a local college's IT department this summer. The university I wanted to go through came through with scholarship money at the last minute, and I'm enrolled, as is my significant other, both of us in honors programs for our respective colleges. Since the college is covering part tuition, as well as my room+board so long as I stay in campus housing, this means free electricity and lots of D for the next 4 years. Not all strictly DC-related, but I felt the need to share =)
 
I am just graduating from college, and let me tell you that I certainly wish that a.) such cheap and high-powered components existed four years ago, and b.) that I freeloaded off that electricity (and knew of F@H) a bit sooner. Enjoy yourself, work hard, and think about the future and not just the moment. Not spending $2k on a rig with your life's savings just to be faster than the rest of the school is a lesson that I learned early on... :)

no kidding, I have about a year left of college and blew most of my financial aid...

My sig rig should have a 'sponsored by FAFSA' sticker :p
 
Sounding good.

The closest I have to free power is my borgs.
 
If any of my $ go towards new D, it will be those I make working this summer. I'm generally pretty sensible about money - I sticker shock *way* easily, so it's hard to convince me to spend. I'll probably still come out wishing I'd spent more on the school and less on the computer but eh, such is life.

Congrats to both of you guys. However if you really think about it, the power isn't really free as it is coming from taxpayers for public universities. As a result, we all partially foot the bill for it. The good thing though is that universities usually get a break from the local utilities and thus get their juice for much cheaper than we do.

I never lived on campus, but I hear that some schools are starting to get very strict about power usage.
 
Given the amount they charge for those dorms, I'd rather guess that we're footing our own bills at a fixed rate, and the taxpayers make up any deficit. Regardless, I suppose I should have said "free (for me) power".
 
grats man. Enjoy it.. They were the best years of my life. sucks you worked out a better deal me though. lol
