Here's what i would do: sell all your computers, buy a nice bicycle and ride it around instead of trying to win against computers.

Then again, that's just me. i'm to the point now that i use my ibook for a little email, a little web surfing, a little music and mostly something to host ssh sessions to banana. i'm also to the point that i'd rather chuck some piece of shit computer out of the window and go ride my bike than try to fix it. Selah.

In your case, get thee to your friendly asian computer store. GEM (GIM?) computers on Howell Mill Northside Drive did fine by me, as did the host of ones up on Jimmy Carter Blvd. It's not signifigantly cheaper to buy just a power supply, and i used to buy $20 cases with power supplies all the time from those folks. (Anyone remember the fiasco what was nutella, a piece of shit P1-75MHz mounted with cable ties on perfboard?)

You may want to splurge on a better power supply or a case with bubbles and LEDs that looks like a gay disco. That's my two cents. It's been a while since i've bought any computer hardware (ironically though, i put a new power supply in banana a few months ago but kept the old case and yes, it has tri-colored LEDs and looks like a gay disco) and i try not to spend much time on that crap as i used to.

And yes, i peep this here blog occasionally.

Willie Nelson's new reggae album is weird and wonderful. Target blew off my socks by carrying the new Dillinger Escape Plan album, Miss Machine, which i liken to buying Slayer & Sepultura albums at your friendly christian bookstore. While i have recovered from the initial shock of such a fine and edgy album at Target, i remained seriously blown for several hours.
