New computer ordered :-D

[scottjames84]

Hi guys.

Ordered a new computer the other day; should arrive on tuesday (I hope)
Living in New Zealand now so computer parts are extremely expensive; when I lived in the US I could get computer parts @ cost from my mother in law who works in a computer store now how ever I have to pay retail.

If you still can, switch that psu for a better one, I really don't like the one you have picked out.

 

[scottjames84]

cant switch it out :-( if it gives me grief I will sell it and buy a new one.

Put eggshells underneath that Hard Drive.
It may fail at any moment...

 

[scottjames84]

the firmware issue has been sorted.

I have had the same hard drive in my current rig for over a 15 months now and it is still going smooth.

 

[Whirlwind]

Yes...you will be fine with that seagate hard drive.

Dont worry there will be pix.. lots of pix; its almost like a new baby is coming home LOL getting all prepared for the new borns arrival haha

 

[scottjames84]

new update.

Still do not have my computer; apparently the motherboard and RAM were holding up the shipment from the suppliers warehouse; I have a rather large LAN this weekend so I hope to bring my new rig; 2 days for the parts to arrive but unfortunately even though New Zealand is smaller than California they still dont know how to ship things quickly LOL.

 

[Fat.Clown]

**** happens....... believe it or not, i had something that took 2 months to ship
