OK, I finally broke down and got a new desktop machine. I went to Fry’s and bought the cheapest thing they offered. It’s noisy, but who cares. It is a 3GHz P4 with 256MB memory, and a DVD RW drive. It was only $379. I also bought 1GB extra memory for $179. Now I’m in the process of setting it up. I’ve been spending several hours doing this because I’ve got to transfer over all my mail files, address books, installed software, etc. It’s a ugly job, but I’m not installing everything that was on the old machine. I’m being more selective.

after blowing 10k on cold air, $400 must seem like pocket change. you could always do a little bit of selective modding and make it quieter. or just put it on your right side hehe.

Well the $400 was from my personal account which I’ve been savings/holding for a while. And yes, I’m considering on getting a few quieter fans. Oh yeah, it is on my right (the deaf side).
