Finally got all the bits for the new computer (an iBuypower with new wireless thingy and bigger, newer Acer monitor) working.  Also, 28 dollars for four feet of hdmi cable?  Yeesh...

Got the old computer basically working again and even salvaged most of my stuff (old writing, art, cat pictures, etc). But I can't get the computer to acknowledge my wireless receiver thingy from any port.
