Musings on my neverending quest for sugar

Just when I'm getting productive...

...my computer gets screwy. It started sounding like a faraway lawn mower, and I turn off the fans one by one (even the CPU fan, yes I'm incredibly ignorant BUT my computer is still alive :D ) until I found the culprit. The teeny fan on the video card.

Now Casey's gotten me buying a new video card that doesn't require a fan, and then he told me that it was a good idea to clean it out with a q-tip. Which, of course, did the trick. :P And now I'll have an upgraded video card...which, well...I can afford a $15ish video card off ebay. I've splurged on worse. :P

..like my new keyboard. Heeeeeeeeee.

And since the big fan wasn't working at all (dunno how long it's been like that...), I'm leaving the computer exposed on the floor of my room until I get a new fan. Boy, do I look like a badass tech nerd, LOL. Right.
