and in other news:
the nation is slowly recovering from profound shock after learning that on friday last mr sleazy managed to build a new compy 666 in one go and get it up and running first time.
of course, it didn't last as 5 hours later it just went "oh naff off" and refused to boot. deep depression ensued. flat refusal to decompress the bios image to the ram. saturday afternoon, take one stick of ram out. reboot. "oh alright then, you can have a look at the bios". default bios settings. boots fine. shut down. put the ram stick back in. still fine.
and still fine.
bloody computermatrons.
for the nerds/geeks/bored among you i got me one of these:
MOBO and one of these:
Make Rocket Go Now only the one of these, despite the SLI power of mobo, but hey maybe in the future...
vampire: bloodlines now runs properly money well spent:
VROOM! a 120Gb Western Digital SATA2 HDD, which i can't be bothered to link to, because it's not really that exciting.
2x512Mb of not-EWE, also not particularly interesting so not linked too. but it was Kingston DDR400 stuff.
DVD-RW goodness:
ZAP! and a wireless moose, which is cute.
all wrapped up inside one of these:
BIG BLACK BOX and viewed through this incredibly bright bastard (certainly compared to my incredibly not-bright previous one):
BLINDED BY THE LIGHT! really good viewing angle too.
nerdism over.
