Right now this looks like what my PC will essentially be, with possibly a few more bells and whistles added:

STANDARD 2 USB PORT CONNECTORS
Case: ASPIRE X-DREAMER CASE 350 WATT W/ WINDOW (SILVER COLOR)
CASUPGRADE: 12" COLD CATHODE NEON LIGHT SOUND ACTIVED (BLUE COLOR)
DVD drive: 16X DVD ROM (BEIGE COLOR)
CDRW: CD-RW 52X24X52 (BEIGE COLOR)
CPU: AMD Athlon XP-2600+ Processor
FAN: AMD CERTIFIED CPU FAN & HEATSINK
FLOPPY: 1.44 MB FLOPPY DRIVE (BEIGE COLOR)
Hard Drive: MAXTOR 120GB 7200 RPM ATA 133 HARD DRIVE
MEMORY: 512 MB (256MBx2) PC3200 400MHz Dual Channel DDR MEMORY (Standard Major Brand)
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS A7N8X-X nVidia nForce-2 400 FSB 8X AGP w/ USB 2.0 with ONBOARD 10/100 NETWORK CARD
Microsoft® Windows® XP HOME EDITION

PRICE: (+701)
SERVICE: STANDARD WARRANTY PLUS ONE-YEAR ONSITE SERVICE

Sound card: 3D WAVE ON-BOARD 5.1 SOUND CARD
SPEAKERS: 600WATT PMPO SUBWOOFER STEREO SPEAKERS
VIDEO: ATI RADEON 9600 256MB DDR AGP 8X W/ TV-OUT & DVI [+63] (HELL YES!)
WIRELESSCARD: PCI Wireless 802.11b 11Mbps Network Interface Card [+23]

So there we have it, $701 plus $65 shipping for a grand total of $766. This could be less or more depending on how much the price of the components drops in the next month or so. If they drop enough I could decide to include either an internal Flash memory reader (to use with my camera memory card), a thermal display unit on the front of the case, rounded cables, etc. I think I'm pretty set though. We'll go pick up a monitor I have my eye on for around $155 at circuit city and the whole shebang will be done with for under $1000, which isn't bad considering how much I'm getting and how I'll be able to use most of these components for many, many years to come. w00t!

OPERA JUST FUX0RED AND I HAVE TO RETYPE ALL THIS SHIT I HATE YOU

Man that's a nice way to restart a blog entry. Let me see what I can remember here. Of course this means that this update will be much shorter and less fun to write than the last one. Oh well let's give it a shot.

So what did I do this weekend? Let's see. Friday night was spent at Matt's house, which was quite the fun. Dillon brought his DDR, and we danced the night away. You know what really bothers me though? I dance away pretty damn hard and might scrounge up an A on a heavy song, and I'm pretty proud of myself. Then Rachel (who has little DDR experience) jumps on the pad and manages an A on light, and all other 15 kids go ballistic. Nobody goes ballistic when things like that happen to me. I don't really mind the lack of attention though because I don't particularly want it. It's more of the principal of the thing. Selective praising is annoying. So yes, DDR was followed up by a rousing episode of Star Trek and a lovely pillow fight to finnish out the evening. Haha, finnish.

Saturday I left for my campout, and Megan left to go accomplish the mission of aquiring what was necessary for Sharp's present. When I got back today I stopped by her house to pick up the thing(she became sick saturday night and wasn't feeling so great today so I didn't see her :( ) and then set out for the place to finish up my present and make it all nice and pretty. I love speaking ambiguously so Sharp has no fucking clue what I'm talking about. Or at least he can't be sure for sure. Fo sho'. Anyways, back to the campout really quickly.

It was cold and wet and dirty, but I survived. My frankenstein book got wet because it was sitting on the floor of our tent (go figure) and now the first 100 pages are wrinkled in the corners. I hope the school doesn't make me pay for another copy, that would entirely suxx0rs. I probably got about 12 hours of sleep each day which was really nice. I'm all jazzed up for school tomorrow!

So uh where was I. Damn I can't even remember. Oh yes, after going to Megan's but before going to the other place needed to finish up Sharp's present we went to Burt's music to pick up the electric guitar, except there were a few problems. I won't bore everybody here, but the jack wasn't reinstalled where we specified and the job was rather shoddy and we'll have to take it back and yadda yadda. I'll let you know when I finally have an electric guitar to start pwning on. Song suggestions to learn plskthx.

And now I've been on the internet all evening with the exception of a short excursion in the Excursion to Golden Corral. Hooray for the internet. I'm still not used to this being dark at 6 stuff, it's really throwing me off. How can it only be 9:22? Oh well, it just makes my bawls bottles shine brighter.

Oh and I signed up for free hosting at www.1and1.com. 500 MB of space for three years. It's amazingly awesome. I can abandon my plans of a complicated network of droid/yaddayadda angelfire addresses! teh w00t. I guess I'll go to school tomorrow, I have little else to do. My game from Ahmed still hasn't arrived and I think it's been over 2 weeks. Dammit. I'm going back to IRC.

Beyond Good & Evil has consumed my life. School is easy and great and all that right now, but who cares? This game sucks my brain into one of the most immersive and entertaining worlds I've ever seen. God I love Michael Ancel. He is my video game daddy (yes Miyamoto, take notes from this guy before he 1-ups you on innovation in genres you practically built). Oh, and I love Megan and hope to take her to see Big Fish this friday since it's opening nationwide and that would naturally mean crossroads 20 right? Right!

So I had about $130 ready to go so I could go buy a Case at Best Buy and Ryan's motherboard, processor, and ram to use as the basis of a new PC system for myself by taking the rest of the necessary pieces out of the dell and using them (and sharing this hybrid system with the family) until I had enough money this summer to fully upgrade and migrate all of my PC stuff to my room. Apparently it took me planning all of this for my parents to finally start discussing seriously about providing me with my own PC. They are very much so against this 'frankenstein pc' method which is understandable, since there is an even cheaper (and just as great) solution; www.cyberpowerinc.com. If all goes according to plan, I shall buy at least the main 'PC' part of my PC from them, and then try and find a deal if possible on a monitor and another drive and etc from newegg and etc. Basically I'm rambling and none of you care but this all might work out for a little more than the cost of ryan T's video card. gahaha.

I'll type later but I should accomplish what is neccesssary and I can't spell that fucking word for Sharp's present tomorrow. yaya.
