well my piece of shit computer took a dump on me.
it actually shot a spark out of the com port and then fizzled up a little stream of smoke, then it shut off.
long story -- laplink with a bad laptop computer.... yada yada... and so it fried one of the ram sticks, the EIDE primary controller and the hard drive.
a new hard drive later, an Ultra ATA PC card, and whatever and it'll run basic shit.... so its in my room as "backup"... however i had to build myself a new computer to replace its dead self.
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton @ 1.83 GHz, 333mhz FSB, 512k Cache.
1 GB Crucial PC3200 DDR400 ram (two 512 sticks).
Western Digital Raptor 37.6 GB Seriel ATA 10,000 rpm hard drive
Teac DVD+/-R writer and Pioneer DVD drives
fucked with the old hard drive till i got it going... i use it as "storeage" -- i fear too much to boot from it.
NVidia Gefore 4 64 mb graphics card
Soundblaster Live audio
Asus TV/FM tuner card
500 w P4/AMD approved power supply and 3 case fans (one in, two out)
Soyo Dragon 6000KT motherboard -- two onboard SATA controllers, 2 IDE controllers, support for the AMD processors up to 400 mhz FSB, three ram slots, 4 onboard USB, 4 front USB, onboard ethernet and Firewire. I dig it. for 47 bucks i really dig it.
it's ok for now... i suppose.
anyway the other toy i got was a 1988 dodge ram w100 power wagon.
leaf springs in front to boot! -- 4x4. its jacked up 10 inches with 38" swamper tires. its a bitch and a half.
but its in great shape - 60k miles - not a spot of rust on it --- only one baseball sized dent, but the dent isn't rusty -- and hte body is the same color as my old truck... its a clone, only beefier as hell. so i'm gonna drop her down to a 3" lift and put NORMAL tires on it... and spend a few years making it "just right" - have a phat premium paint job slapped on it and terrorize the town.
