lol i love that avatar josep.. LOL

[Eagle]

eh? For those who havent been following along.....


1. My computer dies, I cant figure out what the FU*K is the matter with it except for a strange post beep. :!!!:
2. I think its my old 250W powersupply not giving enough watts to the mobo.
3. I buy a new power supply at $60 (480W)
4. It didnt work
5. I finally determine it must be the AGP slot gone bad (the beep code was similar to a video card error but I tried other video cards and got nothing)
6. Rather than buying a new motherboard, I decide to upgrade.
7. I buy a new motherboard, an Athlon XP 2000 and 2700 333 DDR Memory. Along with a Thermaltake Dragon Orb. (about $300 worth of stuff)
8. My chasis is too FU*KING old and has a slide in motherboard tray, in which the new GIGANTIC Dragon Orb 3 does not fit inside.
9. I drive 40 min to Frys in Austin pick up a case with a side mounted PSU and no motherboard tray (another $60 on the upside it has 6 built in chasis fans and front pannel USB)
10. I come back and install it realizing that the copper shim I bought covers some of the yellow dots on top of the processor (bridge leads)
11. I email the entire planet trying to figure out if this is ok or if it will misdirect electricity and blow my processor. In addition I worry about crushing my CPU core while installing this stupid fan.
12. Somebody in my Data Structures class tells me it will work fine :plain2:
13. Today I turn it on and although I'm now completely broke.... ITS ALIVE!!!! Muahahahahaha

The old system was a P3 1Ghz, Asus P3V4X with Asus Slocket card, 320MB of memory (1 64 meg PC100 (overclocked), 1 256 meg PC133), and a Thermaltake Golden Orb. Also a nice but small mid-ATX chasis with 250W power supply. I also have a 350W PSU that came with my new chasis that I wont be using. I'm going to be selling the working componenets, and it turns out the mobo may still be under ASUS warranty in which case I may get a replacement or refund. In any case may be selling the replace ment as well. I'll let you know when I start the ebay sales.
