New plan: Going to have ComputerPartsUSA in Midland TX do the rest.

Financial progress: $300/$600


If you've read this entry: [link] Then you know my PC is ruined. Even more so now, it won't even start. Sadly it's the only PC with my stuff on it, meaning all my stories are delayed.

So, I'm working my fullest to completely redo my lovely PC and upgrading it to be badass. It's going to take time and money, lots of it, so be patient. I may end up having to get a job to get most of the stuff.

This entry is for me to keep track of the items I found/bought/need/ect for it and to indicate how long until I can continue my stories once again.

UPDATE
February 26 2008
Come to find out a Trojan Virus f-ed my hard drive and mother board up. Obviously hidden within the Windows Update, so be careful yourselves!!!

I'm going to attempt wiping the drive and re-installing the Windows XP the my oldest older bro has (NOT ZANE) If all else fails, I'll still have to buy new equipment. Either way, I've got my eye on the beautiful 300GB hard drive!
