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..

Toad
hey man!
supp?
internet connection these day's a drag... i mean, it's almost like stone age again.. ya know, dial-up kinda thing...
sucks big time!
anyhoo, no point complaining.. it's just it.
whaddaya know? i now have two PC's, eh??! finally figured out what's bugging the relic one... i reckoned the PSU and the AVR connived and made me believed the PC has gone loco.. seems only those mentioned above are the effed one.. the rest are working perfectly fine... but not after giving me a huge headache... had to break 'em all down to pieces, literally!
voila!
answer: found.
so, now i need additional keyboard, mouse, joystick and a monitor.. damn, ey??
two is better than one, Albert Einstein said that.. does e=mc2 ring a bell?
yeah, just messing with your head there..
things are pretty dandy and the bases are well covered... thank you.
go fetch, err, figure!
later, homs!

dead meat
yowsi!
i'm ready to snooze... ZZZzzzzzzz...
i'm barking like a dog these days.. darn cough isn't going away anytime soon.. shish!
and it's affecting my lifts.. hhhmmmm... been off taking supplements for a week now.. i'm still strong, yeah, but in terms of endurance, i kinda lag...
so, either it's my constant barking or being supplement-less is the culprit behind my so-so performance... sucks!
why i opted to forego taking supplement/s when i still have plenty of 'em? i need some sorta cleansing... ya know, flush out all that excess caffiene, creatine, amino, etc. away... then, when i reload, i'd be giving my body a surprise yet again.. gotta cycle these stuffs and give my kidney some rest.
meanwhile, another one bites the dust. i remember being a fan of him a long time ago.. bought a cassette tape.. that's the only one i can afford then.. damn, i still can't afford an original CD today!
anyhoo, i was into Rage Against the Machine kinda music and figured he might've sounded like 'em... well, i was hoping i would like the tune of his music.. i like some but not all... still, being a Pinoy, i am bias.
rest in peace, homie..
veering on me's side of life, i'm still 'hunting' for my new hardware.. no need to rush though.. gotta take things slow and steady.. make sure everything is gonna work out fine.
i'll be utilizing some of my 'old' stuff such as the casing, CD drives, hard disks, etc.. what i'll tentatively buy are the following: motherboard, processor (CPU), 2-4 gig of ram, power supply (PSU), video card, a mid to high end cpu cooler, some cooling fan/s and a 19 inches LCD monitor.
so there.... maybe i can get all the hardware next week.. fingers crossed.

show me the money
it's been tough.. my plate is pretty full yet again, thanks to my job!
well, there's loads and loads of problem.. err, 'situation' i'm stuck into.. kinda stresses me out no end.. feels like my jaw is about to lockout, help!!
hope to reverse it before i'd end up dead.. well, last week was tops.. sooo many calls from peers, customers, heck, even the boss' rain on my parade!
not to mention, the many bumps, snags and kinks in between doin' my job, performing fatherly obligation and whatever whatchamacallit hubby-hubby thang.. ya, whew!
worst, i had fever and flu.. oh yeah!
now, it's getting there again... but i'm guessing it won't top last week's... i'm keeping my fingers crossed though.
***
my PC is sooooo dead, thank you. i tried installing another PSU to no avail.. guess now it's really screwed up big time... it's nice to buy a new one, but darn, where am i gonna find the friggin' moolah for it??
now, a credit card would've been convenient, but shit, i wanna pay all my debts this year sooooo bad so i could start a debt-free life next year.. there are those branded PC's that comes with a nice package and get this, 0% interest. the thing is, i want to build mine from the ground up.. i want a nice casing, a powerful power supply (not generic), a nice processor that's got some high-end cooler on top, a fancy memory card that's wrap with heat sinking alloy, a fierce looking, high performance video card, some fancy fan/s to give it an ambient environment inside, a nice LCD monitor wouldn't hurt... finally, throw in some wireless keyboard and mouse..
voila!
now, the 100k question is:
where is the money?
where is the money??
where is the money???!
where is the money????!!!!
where is the money?????!!!!!!
say it like Tom Cruise did in that Jerry Maguire movie... sure is fun!
anyway, i'll go dream about my "new" rig tonight... dream big, yeah??
i can see it now.. nice.. nice..
anyhoo, i'm still bangin' it in the gym.. but my performance?? i have to rate it as mediocre. no new numbers conquered, no fats lost, no muscles gain, etc.. etc..
nada.
chikening out.
