Nothing feels better than spending a couple of hours combing through NewEGG and then placing an order from some more RAM and a better video card. Next step is new proc/heat sink. And I've got a completetly new setup for Ericka saved over there. Just around $750 after shipping for a PC that will last her another 5 years.

Anyway, picked up 1gb (2x512mb) DDR400 SDRAM, a GeForce 6600GT, and rounded cables for both of our computers. Hopefully it'll all be here by Wednesday or so, and that will be awesome.

Work went better than expected yesterday, and I got out around 6:15 instead of 7ish. But, all my sticky issues that have been with me this past week are coming to an unstickied point. Which is nice. I've felt bad juts ignoring cases for the past couple of days so that I could put more research into the two open sticky ones that I had. Gonna meet up with some of the guys and play poker tonight. They asked if I know how to play and I asked them "Is poker the one with the wheel and the little ball?" Got a laugh out of them for that.

Anyway, gonna shower, and do some stuff, and then poker. It was nice to sleep until 1:30.

17"s are around $200, and 19"s are around $230 (although they have one for $220 after a $10 instant savings and $70 rebate).

this i will bear in mind when looking for a computer, should i ever do that, which looks doubtful.

Seriously, just wait for there to be a killer sale on Dell/Gateway laptops. The only reason to piece together PCs anymore is to completely customize a gaming rig. HP, Dell, and Gateway have finally got decent laptops down below $1,000, and you can pick up a Dell desktop for as low as $350.

i'll use any excuse not to buy one. i'll never have internet unless it's free, and, without the porno, i could accomplish all the same things on my cell phone and a notebook. plus, 350 bucks is too much. how will i afford beer?
