Another year, another PC

754 days ago

Every year around this time I get the urge to build a PC or some derivative of it, like picture frames. I probably yearn for the extra heat or the whine of hard disks and fans all around me. Last year I assembled a new desktop PC to replace my aging 7 year old. This year is no different. Except I didn't need another desktop PC and I didn't feel like another picture frame (though I do have a laptop lying around for that purpose). So, despite not having any need or purpose, I wandered to good ol' Newegg and ordered some parts to build a cheap PC. One can always find a reason to use a PC, no? My budget was in the $200-$250 range. Here is what I went with: MSI barebone - MSI MBOX K9N6SGM-V - $89.99 (case with a uATX mobo with an AMD AM2 socket, nVidia chipset and 400W power supply) CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2Ghz - $74.99 (this is the 65W version) RAM - OCZ Platinum 2GB (2x1GB) - $45.99 (after $30 mail-in-rebate) I have hard disks (8GB to 80GB) ...

And when it was time to get groceries or make a visit to Costco, we would start making a list and inevitably forget that light bulb or kitchen towel that we needed. Also, in our neighborhood, every Wednesday is garbage day (when the good folks at Waste Management swing by to collect our waste), and every second Wednesday is recycling day. I can remember the every Wednesday part, but I can never remember which Wednesday is the second Wednesday. This gets more tedious when I skip recycling on some week - that totally messes with my internal recycling clock. We also have doctor’s appt’s for the kids, medicines that one of my tots needed to take on a regular basis, and other things, that we were forgetting to do. We used our work calendar for some of this, but I don’t look at my work ...
