New(ish) computer
13 years ago
So, a motherboard capacitor blew out caused by an overheating PSU. Needed a new motherboard, but they no long make the model that fit my computer.
Because I needed an upgrade anyways from a 5 year old rig, I have a new motherboard (busted), CPU(bent pins), graphics card (broken fan), PSU (overheated), and new ram (why not). Might get a new monitor too soon, because this one has color bleeding around the edges. I'll be spending the next few days organizing like a million different files and installing dozens of programs.
Not a single file was lost though and the new computer runs fast and great: It was the first time building my own rig and it was about 1,000 bucks cheaper than buying one from HP/Dell/etc...
sketches on the way :)
