A First for me. :)

I have officially done my first computer upgrade...from ordering the parts to installing them myself..and I feel great. My imac is running 4 gigs of RAM now. Not too much by geek standards, but I am happy. She's running great and strong and true and I did it myself. I'm so proud! And OS 10.6.8 soon to be 10.7. And that'l be the best I can do. It should last easily another 3 to 5 years and then hopefully I'll have enough for a new one. Anyhow, gaming con this weekend I almost forgot about. Will be doing some artwork so expect new stuff by the middle of next week. Two I need to finish, plus a couple comissions hopefully. :)
Must... resist... urge to troll!
Seriously though, congrats on taking the first step toward saving a bunch of money on new computers and being able to do all your own troubleshooting.
Total out of pocket? $550. To include a Happauge ATSC/QAM HDTVZ tuner with hardware MPEG compression. State of the art, brand spanking new, cutting edge and openly upgradable for at least another 5 years with simple swap of boards.
At least consider the possibility of dipping a toe. ;3
