So I decided to get my desktop up and running again. My video card was fried, so I figured I'd buy Russ's old card when he bought a new one, problem solved. The card didn't fit on my mainboard...covering up the SATA ports completely so that I couldn't connect a HD. Thus, I needed to order a new mainboard. However, having a MicroATX board meant that I would also have to get another case. Well, that's not that bad, and I found both of them would cost me about $150. To be safe, I decided to check out the CPU, and apparently the one I have is AM2, so that also needs to be replaced. Well, it became a bit more spendy, but so be it. I got the parts last week and everything installed painlessly until the RAM wouldn't fit. Apparently my RAM is 184pin, an artifact. I had to make another order, including a new CD/DVD drive (was using two before) and 3 more fans because my case only came with one. So in the end, the only thing I am keeping from the old computer is my 500V Antec modular PSU. In total, about $515 instead of the $90 I would have paid just for Russ's old card.

Isn't building computers fun :)

I'm in Florida right now for spring break and will have the weekend to finish putting it all together when I get back. When I get it up an running I'll stop being a jerk and install steam so you guys can pester me about playing games that I will actually be able to run, and bitch about what I decide to play instead of them. I'm half kidding -_-

haha. I do, but just old nostalgic games lately; mainly Zelda, Gothic, and Diablo II. School and work have been keeping me adequately busy, but lately I've been slacking off a lot. What's new with you?

I don't play any steam games so I don't think of starting it. You can always contact me on MAL or by text or call...

I assume you mean my highest character thats not 80? I think its probably my lvl 30 bank alt =/ and I don't particularly want to lvl McHoldstuff. A while back when you were saying you wanted to play got me kinda revved to play so I did, and lvled a deathknight to lvl 70 so that we could lvl together when you got back. problem is that she turned out to be so much fun that I kept on playing her to lvl 80 and now shes my best geared character...
So I dunno what I'm gonna do when cataclysm comes out, I would be fine with lvling a new character from lvl 1 with all the new starting zones and shit, and with heirlooms it wouldnt be too bad, But I doubt u want to wait until I get to lvl 70 to start playing. I dunno, maybe we could start lvl 1s together

whyyyy...why do I want to play wow again...>_<. Was messing around with the talent trees today for Cataclysm.

Stuff has changed soooo much. Now hunters don't even use mana...how interesting. Makes sense though. I'm almost positive that I'm going to shift to Avatre as my main, though I'd probably level Kranath through first.

As long as I can guarantee to myself I wont join a raiding guild again, I think I'm ok with playing I guess. Too bad you've characters are both 80 : ( I'm probably not going to want to start a new character with all the new content I haven't seen. What's your next lowest character from house?

no problem, let me know if you ever want another one

thanks

I'm giving you a comment
