So I've not been around much on the internet. Just after the turn of the year, my computer decided that it was a good time to die. So it did. I tried replacing the power supply and the case, but this didn't fix things. D'oh! The case is funky though, it's black with 2 blue LED case fans on the front. Keeps my computer cooler than it's ever been. Anyway, I then tried putting in some of my spare parts but this still solved nothing. So I bought a new motherboard and fitted it. Still nothing. Bastards. I then asked my Dad for a loan to buy a new processor and he said that they would buy me one which was nice. So me and Keri goto Prague from 9th of January till the 13th. When I arrive home I ask how the processor order is going. There had been a delay but it would be arriving in a couple of days. It arrives at my folks' house so I goto my Mum's work and collect the processor from her. I come home, open up my computer and unwrap the processor...
It's the wrong fucking size! I've never really bought processors seperate from motherboards so I didn't realise about all this socket business. So I have to return the processor and get my Dad to order another. This one arrives, I collect it from my Mum's work again and bring it home. I fit it in and start my computer.
Hurrah! It decides to work. So £150 and a ton of new parts later, I now have a working computer. Since I got the internet, I've never been away from the internet / computer for any length of time, with the exception of holidays / honeymoon *which was different*. My computer was broken for 3 weeks. THREE WEEKS! How I managed to survive I will never know.
So that was my January, really.
