short of the dust in the computer!
GAH! Tres Nasty! I wish I'd bought that can (or 6) of compressed air. Oh well, one more thing to add to the ToDo list. (Reopen computer, and clean out all dust!)
I'm glad the guy pissed me off, because my other thought is "what if there isn't enough room in the computer for another hard drive?" There are 3 open 5 1/4" bays, but no smaller ones. So, I have to look into something else. I'm actually not willing to give up either of the drives that are in there now. They have stuff on it, and I'm quite OK with using the teeny one as the booting system, the 40 gig for business and document storage, and the new one as a "media" drive. I'm aiming high - 120Gig or more. With the amount of InuYasha I've been downloading, and my new video card's ability to capture from DVD and/or tape, I think I'm going to need it.
They also had the camera I want for $320 or so at Microcenter. it's cheap(er) because it's the demo/display model. They don't appear to be carrying this camera anymore. But I also just found it on Ebay, underpriced, since some poor guy is selling it because his wife "doesn't want it." Now OK I didn't want that $5 drink the other night, this is a $400 camera. Am I prepared to SPEND this kind of money - not really. But I think the one on Ebay might be one I can't turn down.
I need to get moving on my Ebay processes myself. There's too much I want, and I don't have the money to be doing it. On the list are: 120+Gig Hard drive, 17" or bigger flat panel monitor, Comno printer, preferably laser printer, Xbox and or PS2, some games (if I ever get around to paying any *grins*), some of the DVD sets I wanted (Oh, mental note, off to DVD PLanet as soon as this is done!)
I haven't gotten much done, cleaning wise, and the unit is home now. But that doesn't mean I can clean off things, and I think opening my window is in order.
I'm COVERED in dust! Icky!
*Addendum* This new CD drive doesn't seem to be any better than the others. I dunno, it doesn't seem to be ripping any faster, although I'm wondering if it isn't more sonstanly at 2.5times or 3.0 than the other drives. I need to try burning a disk, one I've had set up for months, the Cruxshadows last set for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kanine along with some other cds that have gone missing on me, that I want to remake, and a Cruxshadows "Favorites" cd for my car, so I can take more varied CDs instead of 6 Cruxshadows *grins*

Now I need a clue by four on a deal for a hard drive. CompUSa has a 120 Maxtor for $180 that has a $20 instant rebate, and $100 mail in that's looking pretty tasty. I also think I want a DVD burner at some point, but I'm wondering if that isn't asking too much of my poor aged former server. (I've had it three years, it was used when I got it and it's only a P3 450)
What's daddy doing on his Wimmin free weekend next weekend? I think I'd like to see what the mens do when the women are gone. I'll leave my vagina at home *silly grin**hugs*
