i fixed my computer! WOOT.

yea my motherboard died. so i opted to do a major upgrade to a EVGA motherboard and Intel quad core @2.66Ghz and a power supply to run it all.
i had a major runaround with the power supply cause it seemed my old one was on its way out cause it was schitting itself when i tried to play any games.
so i went to worst buy and got a new 650 watt unit, 150 watts more than my old one. that supp;y was bunk out of the box, same problem. so i go back and return it and get another 550 watt unit for 10 bucks more.
i get back to install it and it hiccups the first gaming attempt so i restart and it was just adjusting itself with my system and is working good now.

but for the entire duration of this upgrade i was stuck using my almost 10 year old 650Mhz laptop to surf the web and order parts.

with all that said, computers are bitches. and EVGA is teh shiznit

so i paid tiger direct with pay pal and they never took my money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im serious 30 days went by and the paypal transaction EXPIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so in short i got my new system for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you buy parts from tiger direct, pay with pay pal and maybe the same will happen for you!!! FTW!!!
