My Inner Geek Is Tingling…
1So, I just bought a new Motherboard, Graphics Card, and Power Supply…and I feel like a geek because I’m all giddy about getting it in the mail lol…
heres a roundup what I got 
- Motherboard: ZOTAC AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard $69.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate
- Graphics Card: XFX GeForce 9400 GT 1GB 128-bit $59.99
- Power supply: COOLMAX 550W ATX12V Power Supply $29.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate
click to see where and what exactly I bought….and to the some saying “thats a crappy PSU” or “eh, even the 9600 is alot better”….heres what your forgetting….not everyone has tons of money to blow on PC eq haha…this was a very buget based purchase…
- so yeah first off the motherboard, I got it because it’s a AMD (woo) compatible with Athlon 64 X2(dual core) Processors….also it has 6 SATA connections….cause yeah…i need at least 3…4 or more preferred…and it was pretty freakin cheap for a decent spec’s on a mobo….
- Next the Graphics Card….I know…I know…some say for $10-30 more I could have got the ATI HD3650 (512 not 1gb but still)…but…I didn’t need to spend $10-30 more…that and I just trust Nvidia over ATI anyday…and I know that’s odd considering a prefer AMD over Intel..since AMD makes ATI lol…but I do…get over it!
and It’ll work fine for what I need it…Photoshop, Flash, and Casual Gaming…might be able to run freakin Crysis but I don’t want to anyway lol…
- last is the Power Supply….yes I know it looks sucky and not super high wattage…but…I needed one with 3 or more SATA’s once again…cause yeah dell is gay and made everything the Harddrive and Dvd Drive need a SATA power connector instead of a standard MOLEX one…yeah…I know…freaking gay right? anyway…yeah this one has 4…so I can even add a 3rd Hard Drive Later on if needed
so woo…
and yeah…I found and purchased all of this spur of the moment at like 2am lol total price after shipping for all was $212.86 (before $40 in rebates) after I send the rebate stuff it’ll be $172.86 total for all
anyway, Ill prob blog again tonight….cause yeah my day has had nothing fun or interesting today lol…but I had to say the above cause I’m Happy
Church, Computers, Push, and Algebra 2…
1oops, I forgot to blog the last few days didn’t I? 
haha…
Well…hmm Sunday morning was church…that was good and I like always had fun playing the Drums
Then after that I went over to my oldest brother Brandon’s house to work on building his new computer…and that was a nightmare…ehh…his motherboard was old and was a freakin’ IDE board…when most now are SATA or even now E-SATA apparently…and we didn’t know that till we opened it up…we were going to move it to a new case, 2gb of RAM, add a DVD burner, and a 320gb HDD…yeah, none of them worked…case was too small (that freakin motherboard was way bigger then it should be), and the HDD and DVD burner was SATA 
even the RAM which we made sure online would work fine with it…didn’t work …want to know why in 4 letters?….DELL…This just adds to the list why I hate computers from major companies…especially Dell…they make it so proprietary you cant upgrade crap…its stupid…they want you to have to buy a new one from them, not just keep a older one updated I guess
then yeah, went home around 5:40pm and left shortly after for church…Me and by other bro Josh went to my girlfriend Hattie’s church…first time for josh…3rd for me…on Sunday night anywho…and that was good…and Josh seemed to like it there…and I got to see the love of my life *muah*
then after church Me and Josh went and watched Push with his friends from another church (its kinda funny Hattie goes to First Assembly of God in Denton…Josh’s friends go to First Assembly of God in Krum haha)…
anyway, that was a awesome movie despite hearing it was lame…to the people who called it lame….you…my friends…are lame hah. It was awesome, Ill say it did have a few cheesy parts…but the fights and just story made up for those parts by far…definitely worth watching again and buying on DVD when its out I’d say for sure
eh, then after we got out of that (it was around 12:10am) we went home and crashed…
haha, oh, and yeah…I have Algebra class every Monday morning, but yeah, dad decided he apparently didn’t wanna go…so yeah…I missed class cause of his not wanting to
and after that stupidity I’ve been up to a whole lot of nothing except texting my friends oh, and Me and Josh might go bowling later (woo)…
so yeah, that concludes this weekend and weekday I guess…hah…
