Smokin’ new computer.
I built my computer last weekend– perhaps I will post pictures. I used a few parts from my old computer but mostly new stuff. The specs:
Lian-Li PC-65 Aluminum Case
Soyo Dragon Ultra KT333 Platinum Edition Motherboard.
Athlon XP2200 at 1.8GHz
1024MB PC2700 DDR Memory
120GB Western Digital 8MB Cache 7200 RPM Hard Drive
It’s superfast and very cool. However, it is very HOT temperaturewise. In fact, the freakin box heats up the entire upper floor of the apartment. I am beginning to have to shut it down when I leave or go to bed just so that Matt’s and my room are not really hot when I get back.
Also, it’s loud. Not jet-engine loud, but definitely vacuum cleaner loud.
Perhaps I shall buy some quiet case fans.
I leave you with This, a story about a guy who build his own island out of plastic bottles. Crazy stuff, but it sounds fun nonetheless.

Hi, honey, I am really glad you got your computer up and running! That sounds neat that you put it together yourself. I clicked on the guy and the plastic. The part I found most interesting is about how the raft floats. I like that idea a lot.. Well, sorry we couldn’t talk longer last night.
I am off and running. Stephen and I got in at 7:00 am this morning, (redundant…) and he was tired, but I pushed him out the door and told him he was staying there all DAY! Mean mom that I am. Well, I love you lots, Take care, Love, Mom
