RIP Frankenputer

July 31st, 2006

Saturday morning I woke up to some sad news, my computer "Frankenputer" had ceased working. I had to replace it.

Of course, now the story starts. I drove to Fry's to buy some new components. I bought a Motherboard, a processor, a case, a hard drive and a new video card. So I drove back to my apartment, and put it all together. It didn't work. I was frustrated, so I drove it back to Fry's, and wanted to return it, but they said they would test it. The told me everything I bought was in good working order. So I drove back home and tried again. It didn't work again. No power, no fans turning on, no nothing. I was upset. So the next day I ended up returning the stuff I bought, and I bought a new computer, that was already put together. So I put some stuff from my old computer in my new one. So its specs are AMD Athlon 3500+ with 1.5 Gb of RAM, Two DVD writers, 5.1 surround sound, a 512 Mb ATI Xpress video card, with 230 Gbs of HD space. Its pretty friggin sweet.

So my weekend was stressful, and most of it was a waste of time, so I was mad at myself.

In other news girls in my Sunday School independantly described me to their mom as being like Napolean Dynamite. I don't know if I should be proud or not.

Dude, that's a pretty sweet system. You should start playing WoW with us. And I've been meaning to tell you about the 6'8 dude at my work who looks a lot like you and he is even skinnier than you are. We also compare him to Napoleon Dynamite. so just know you aren't alone out there man.

at one time I never imagined I could ever fill a 1 gb HD let alone the 30gb one I have now. that was before I learned about torrents and started downloading Sopranos episodes.

Nice specs man! I just bought Neverwinter Nights Diamond edition. We should play online sometime... or play some Battle for Middle Earth II.
