Dizz Knee Land

what an expensive upgrade! i just wanted to change the stock fan of my CPU unto something more cooler.. ya know, something that would prolong its life.. not that it hasn't been a year since i bought it, but it's been plagued with constant hang-ups especially if you play a "heavy" game such as Call of Duty's Modern Warfare 2.

well, i bought it a good cooler, a Coolermaster, not the super high-end one with all the lights and blings on, just a medium-end but gets the job done.

installation was easy, thanks to Youtube but i got a little careless along the way... on my way to tightening it's bolts, i tightened it a wee bit hard it damaged the motherboard.

so, when i finish installing everything and turn it ON, its indicator lit but it wouldn't start. bought it to GreenValley Computer Repair shop and was diagnosed to have and effed up mobo. sigh.

waited a week to have it fixed, tested it on their place and was good to go, paid 900 bucks, but when i got home and turned it up, the sucker wouldn't start!

i had a 30-day warranty. i didn't availed.

charged to experience. when shit like this happens, repair is futile. better replace.

bought a new one... geez, i bought a slew of other things like a SilverStone chassis and a PSU. got 'em for 3 and 12 months zero-interest, respectively.

on the other hand, my old-reliable Pentium 4 is still standing up strong.. yep, i upgraded its cooler too.. pretty sturdy for a torrent rig, tell ya that!

this one i'm using now though is soooo much faster and much more powerful.. it's got a high-end processor, max-out ram and overclocked to its limits!

i'm pretty happy, but sad at the same time.

i know you catch my drift...

now, i wanna go to..
