So my desktop is in it's final death throes.  I know this for a few reasons... it's making agonizing moaning noises, and my internet is barely functional.  I'm sure I can squeeze a few more months of use out of it, but it would be more trouble than it's worth, reformatting, reinstalling the OS, replacing fans and upgrading some hardware.  I figure my time is better spent driving to a tiny computer store, more like an ubergeek cave, and give them a list of what I want in my new computer and tell them to 'Make it so'.

Hopefully in a week I'll be driving a Cadillac of computers!  I'm quite excited.

I could have built it myself, but I'm busy, I've got class to study and files to prepare for transfer.  These guys will do it for me for $40.  That's a good deal.  And all the parts are at wholesale prices.  Even better.

Farewell my faithful Sony Vaio.  You have served me well.  Parts of you will live on, after I have stripped you for the components...
