I upgraded my computer to a monsterous beast. the last time I built a computer was in 2003, and a friend upgraded his so I figured it was probably time to upgrade as well. My last computer was a mini cube style, and I pretty much left it as built for over 4 years, wihout any upgrades. I had been noticing that the internet had more or less outgrown my computer. When I went to normal web pages like weather.com, the animated maps would use 85% of my processing power. So I bought all the shit to build a new one. Cutting edge. New Operating System and all. I built the box out and its fantastic. Real fast. Windows Vista is pretty shitty, but I can deal with it I suppose until Microchunk can come out with something better.

Anyway, so I got the new box in place, and just was not quite happy for some reason. The solution? Redo the entire room. I moved my desk along a different wall, moved my MAME cabinet into a corner where it probably should have been since birth, and performed a little bit of Feng Shui on my couch. I am completely satisfied with the results. it is like being somewhere else when I am at my computer. New computer, new surroundings. Its great. Funny how moving things around can make a room seem larger.

Hmm, this is not a very good post. I am not exactly sure where I was heading with this. I'll do better next time, I promise.
