Next and last thing I need is to replace my CDR i sold...got my eyes on a Plexto 12x or 16x

Unforunately though, the RAM i got today was bad so gotta go back in the morning. And those big hard drives take forever to partition and format..JEEEZUZ

The worst feeling is trying to install your operating systems on the new drive and windows keeps fucking up in the middle of the install etc... all you can think of is "MY BABY!!!!" Which is what happened to me today...then I ganked the 128MB i bought today and it works fine so I am left to assume I got a bad stick, oh well...just gotta exchange it tomorrow i guess

I HAVE DONE IT...I FINALLY FINISHED MY COMPUTER (for the time being hehe)

Just got me a Plextor 12x10x32 Was gonna go for the 16 but there is not very much 16x media out right now, and well I don't think that extra 45 seconds to burn a cd would kill me...and it was $50 cheaper than the 16x too

Lol fury- that is one cheeky smiley face!

And man, that is one messed up system!
I mean you've got a 1.4GHz CPU running at 60 degrees.
You've got a DVD drive without even a floppy disk!
And there's a GeForce 2 there with an 11.5 inch monitor!

Just kinda amusing, "is all"

Kinnda reminds me of a company here in Finland. They sell the most unbalanced systems ever. Something along the lines of:

1. P4 1.4 Ghz
2. Some mobo
3. 64 Mb RAM
4. TNT2 M64
5. 56k modem.

You get the picture, killer CPU totlay taken aback by the rest of the system. The systems are cheap and could be considered as a "backbone" to start piling up on... but once you've bought all the additional stuff you will need it will const just as much/more than a "regular" system.
