Sweet Jebus… there’s a massive

Sweet Jebus… there’s a massive computer in the hiz’ouse! Here… lemme show you…

This bad boy has 3, count’em, 3 case fans, the massive heatsink/fan combo and the PS fan. Plus the spaciousness of a full tower. All together, this will be one icy cold rig. I want to get an additional case fan for above the power supply so that it’ll take the hot air from the cd burner and dvd drive out of the case, but that will come later.

Installing everything took a little over three hours. I took my time and double checked every last jumper and/or connection.

Now comes the fun part, software installation. I have a copy of XP from a friend but I still don’t have a licence, which I’m hoping, if Dave is reading this, he’s still willing to let me use. If he does, I’ll be forever greatful. For the moment I’m making boot disk since the CD doesn’t seem to want to cooperate and boot for me. Oh well. M$ provided a nifty little boot disk utility so I’ll just take advantage of that.

More as it progresses. This will probably be a long involved process (knowing me), plus I have a TON of homework this week, so please forgive me if I don’t check in daily.

… but at least once

… but at least once I finally get around to enjoying the ‘puter, I’ll have plenty to do on it. Thanks in part to my new copy of Dungeon Siege (thanks Chris), my being a beta tester for WarCraft III and plenty of CS. Sorry… just had to mention those.

I want pizza… anyone else hungry?

I hate being busy. I

I hate being busy. I guess I am jaded. Or at least stressed. Probably stressed. My “finals” are basically this week. Then I have 3 more weeks after that. I have a big paper due next Monday and 10 prints due Tuesday. Those are my two biggest assignments of the semester and they fall on the same week. After that I only have a sequential assignment that’s more annoying than difficult and some addition Poloroid stuff to do in photo, but that should be easy. So, although it’s stressful, after I get these done I’m pretty much gliding through till summer. So, when my computer comes tomorrow, I’ll probably put it together then not be able to enjoy it for a week or so. But, if that’s what needs to happen, then so be it. Add to all that the fact that I still need to move into my new apartment, get my car worked on and find a job for the summer, and you’re looking at one stressed out art student.

Can I come home yet?
