I got a new computer ! Hey, hey!

August 17th, 2003 with 84 views

Coming live to you and yours from my very own, brand new PC at the dorm! =D Pentium 4 2.66GHZ, 512 MB DDR SDRAM 533 MHZ, 80 gigabytes hard drive and 512 MB RAM. That’s more than enough memory for gigabytes and gigabytes of files, mp3s, plus Encarta, Photoshop and maybe even video editing! The tower is metallic blue; it lights up when the hard disk moves, and the sides have glass so you can see the colored lights and all the wires and stuff inside. But because the tower has to be inside the computer desk, I don’t get to see the lights or the stuff inside. :( The front part is white, and there’s this blue light at the bottom so it’s pretty enough even without the multicolored lights.

Fairly decent sound system; the speakers suck, but I have stereo headphones that work great. I had all my mp3s from the desktop at home transferred here, and I also have a really fast CD burner, so yeah! No more listening to music I would never choose to hear. The keyboard needs a little getting used to as well. For some reason I have to press on the keys really hard cos if I don’t, some letters don’t come out when I type really fast. I could have it changed to my old keyboard but I like this one better because it’s royal blue with black keys to match the tower. Hehehehe.

I know, I know, I’m a spoiled little bitch. ;p My mom wanted to get me a top of the line computer with a DVD player, but I told her not to waste money and get me second to the top of the line. Should’ve said yes to the DVD player though…oh well. I would’ve felt really bad about getting a new PC if I had done horribly on the midterms last Friday, but I’m quite sure that I at least passed the fucker. If I can get a decent grade on that, the next two long tests, and the finals, I can end the semester with a C for Math 11. Which is a good enough grade, considering that I’m very retarded when it comes to numbers.

Oh well. Just wanted to share. ;p

*edit - Because of a sales error, I had to bring back my computer to PC Express yesterday and had the processor swapped to an Intel Pentium 4- 2.6 C 512 KB 800 MHZ HT. Wow, it’s Hyperthreading Technology. And as an added bonus, mom got me a DVD player. Whee!!

    The part that contains the fish is completely seperate from the rest, though you can’t see it. There is also two fans between the tank and the rest that ventilates the warm air.
