So, I ordered a computer a couple of days ago from Tiger Direct, a good and well known online computer and parts retailer. Well, it came today. Now, this was a barebones system, only coming with a case, processor, HDD and RAM, I knew this well and good and was fine with it. I later found out that the processor, unlike all the other CPUs I have dealt with, did not come with a fan/heatsink. So I delt with that and got one with the order.

Flash forward to today, my computer comes via UPS. I open it up, get most of the parts put in and set up, only to discover that A: the heatsink I bought is a piece of shit and wont fit into the space like advertised and B: the case, again unlike all the others I have dealt with, DID NOT have a fan in the back to blow heat out of the case. I don't know how many of you know about computers, but the point is, if you have no fans, your average desktop computer fries within a matter of minutes due to the serious heat built up by electrical resistance in the CPU and other components.

So where dose this leave me? It leaves me pissed off, with a useless heatsink that I wasted money on, no useable computer and in need of $45 to purchase a new heatsink and case fan. I cant draw or design worth a crap and I don't get paid till next week, but even then my check is going to be tiny due to snow causing work to close. So basically I paid $400 for a useless box, at least for the next month.
