Hey remember on the weekend when I was talking about how happy I was that my aging gaming PC was still good enough to run Oblivion? Well tonight it just committed suicide. James was here when it happened, so I partially blame him… but we suspect that it’s either just the power supply or just the CPU. Tomorrow I’m going to grab a new PSU and drop it in - if that doesn’t fix it, I’ll have to replace a lot more. My CPU is a Socket A, which like nobody sells anymore. So I’ll have to get a new motherboard and CPU. Oh, and my 9800 Pro is AGP, which they barely make anymore so I’d have to get a new video card (or be stuck with AGP for even longer).
So basically it’s a win/win situation - either it can be remedied with a simple fix or I get a new, smokin’ machine!

Matt, you know I’d never let you and your negative chi touch my computer. You’re allowed to play consoles only because they’re cheaper to replace!
Also I e-mailed you, let us know when you’re coming and whatever.
