awesomecomp build 1.0
i knew today would be awesome. how did i kno? cuz my locker openned up the first try. thats always a good sign. not just once. but twice! life is good. ok so i drew these pics of a pc and ms mittler said they didnt look like comps. what an idiot. shes never seen a comp with a side window or rounded edges or an lcd screen...so its automatically not a computer. wut an idiot. o well. she sucks. i join the danny and ryan side against the woman. but ryan is emo about it. danny's cool.
blah mohlers class. i did bad on my quiz (missed 2). i actually missed one on purpose but i screw up another 1. o well. just gotta keep on keepin on. at lunch i learn that im case's number 1 match. hmmmm. coincidence? prolly. but its still weird. im gunna get my dealy tomorow. wonder who's @ #1?
chem was blah too. stupid test. i think i did i pretty well, but thats wut i sed bout the last 1 n i got a b. o well. comp programming was awesome. it stated off normal blah blah. i started helpin out sebastien with the contest program in c++. w00t. take that win32 api! anyway, daniel gets the idea to make a server using the old dells sittin on this 1 table. we ask mr c n he says we can! yay! so we find the best 1 (which only had a P3 w/ 450MHz) and stick all the ram i there, using up all 3 slots (pc-100...hahahah) ok so then we boot it up and decide to intall win xp pro. lucky me josh brought it back today cuz i let him borrow it. so we had the cd, we had the technology. we can rebuild it. so we stick it in, reformat the HD, and run the setup. turns out it still had 30 min to go when the bell rang. josh n kyle r gunna finish up the intall tomorrow in 1st period and get the other HD from the other comp put in there at lunch. should b ready for some server action 4th period.
well i got home and then bam! parts! parts but no barebone. stupid fed ex put the 2 boxes (one for the parts, and one for the barebone) on 2 different trucks. so my dad was only expecting 1 box, not 2. when the first one came he left to do w/e it is he does. so my mom and i drove down to the boondocks to pick up the barebone and when i got home....put it together! the emotions of my first build. at one point i was freakin out cuz the heantsink wouldnt go on the motherboard nicely...i had to push down and jam it there. i thought i broke something like a $225 processor and $100 motherboard. but i just but my lip and put that sucker on. slid in the memory and turned the comp on! it works! sweetness running at 3.0GHz and 1012MB of RAM. yay! tragity fell when i looked at the hardware config in BIOS and saw that my cpu fan wasnt runnin and my cpu temp was at 150ºF. thats way way way way way too hot. needless to say i turned it off. turns out i didnt plug in the cpu fan cord all the way in. fixed it and it was running at a cool ~100 at 3250RPM. life is good my friends.
my only sadness comes in the fact that my dvd burner doesnt fit in the slot due to an overhang in the faceplace. that blows. i plan i just taking a flat faceplate from one of those messed up cd-rom drives in mr c's room. he wont notice theyre gone. should b fun times my friends. fun times.
o and office depot came through...tho my comp date will be fixin it all up there. hmph. well im comin over anyway to play around with it. o sure, me n her will hang out too. eventually.
keep it cool; keep it real; keep it from fallin off your sholders
