Good afternoon everyone. Just in case any one is wondering where I am, we only have one computer and it's been just giving us a heck of a time. It only runs when ever it wants too, and for short periods of time. Finally it's started giving us hard drive failure problem. Now I'm trying to back up what I can, and we'll probable buy a new computer before I attempt to replace the hard drive on this one. I haven't been able to hear out of my right ear for a little over a month now. The ear doctor said I have fluid behind the ear. I have one more prescription to try and if that fails then I may have to have a tube put into my ear like they used to do to kids. So no drinking for me, but I may sneak in a cigar. I'm not sure if you can smoke or not...? My wife submitted our taxes yesterday on the 15th right before the hard drive failed... That's about it.
Appreciate the update. Good luck with the ear. Hopefully the refund will be large enough for you to buy a new computer for yourself.
I've been saying I wanted to build a computer for some time now. I actually bought a mid-tower case that unfolds on both side (sort of like airplane wings), with the motherboard mounts on one of the sides for easy access. I think I have new 600w power supply, and a new Barricuida hard drive. I just need a motherboard, cpu (GPU or also video card), memory, and Windows Software. My biggest problem is selecting a motherboard. Almost every mother board I look at on Newegg, the reviewer are giving them 50% DOA or bad support such as AUSA. I'm looking for a reliable ATX with 1 or 2 PCI slots.
check out micro center they tend to have better prices or MOBO cpu bundles...
They have a store in the St Louis area.
here is the web link for their AMD/CPU MOBO bundles...
http://www.microcenter.com/site/products/amd_bundles.aspx last system i built was less expensive with a
AMD cpu. they have intel cpu bundles too. it is almost cheaper to by a new system. buying microsoft software adds $120 dollars to the build for the OS.
