My Expensive Doorstop
Jun 5th 2007
Well, I did some checking into my dead computer yesterday. Unfortunetly, it looks like when the power supply exploded, it took the motherboard with it. Anything more than that I can't determine since I can't get it to boot up properly.
It's going to be a month or two before I'm going to be able to fix it, and at this point I might even just upgrade to something else once I get the money.
In the meantime, I've got my MacBook Pro. It's not ideal for gaming, but…it's something. And now I've got it all hooked up to my main keyboard, mouse and LCD.
On the plus side, Wassy surprised me last night (it was hanging on my door when I got back from class) with a little French Vanilla smelling candle thingy (mmm…vanilla) to help with the "charred wire and plastic" smell. Much appreciated…that smell lingers forever.
In A Flash Of Light…

…my desktop computer is dead.
I went to turn it on this morning and it seemed like it got stuck starting up, so I turned it back off, then back on again. BOOM! With a lot of crackling, popping, flashes of light and the smell of burning wires, my power supply died in a fiery blaze of glory.
Hopefully it didn't take the rest of the computer with it since I really don't have the budget at the moment to put together a new system. Come to think of it, I really don't have the budget to get a new, quality PSU for a little while.
Oh well…at least I have the Macbook Pro.
