My old pc power unit went kaput on Wed, luckily the internal pc hardware were not damaged.

Bought my new pc parts on a Sat wif my mum at simlim. Total cost is $820 wif a P4 2.8ghz C with HT, 512 MB DDR RAM, a 80GB HDD and a casing. I was intending to get a P4 2.6 but on that day, the price of the 2.8 dropped to the price of the 2.6 !!! Of cos i get the 2.8 lah ! My mum as usual was skeptical abt the price that was quoted to us at The Hardware Place (6th floor, simlim square) then the lady there challenged us if we could find a better price than hers.

We did of cos, and indeed her price was e lowest there, at least on the top floor. haha..The most absurb price was $998. $998 !!!!!!!! I can jolly well get quite a full and relatively high end system wif this price. Oh yeah, one dishonest shop called Media Pro was selling a 80GB IDE harddisk at $153. Do u noe that wif this price i can get a 120GB SATA (serial ATA, which is faster) harddisk oredi ??

Anyway, we got everything home and my friend helped me to setup the pc. I was worrying abt if my "old" professional 3D card was not compatible wif the new system mother board. But technically wise as according to the specs i found, the card should be compatible. I was so worried when we boot up e system for the 1st time, my video card cld not be detected !!!!!!!!!!! We off and off e system a few times until we decided to remove the casing and refix e card. Fortunately, it worked.

I dunno why PC have to be comprised of so many different hardware. It juz make things more complicated, dun they ?
