There goes my computer...

Ok so, my videocard (Radeon 9500) died a few days ago, and
when I was dusting the innards, I accidently dropped it at
ground level (like it didnt really 'drop' but I was pulling
it back upright and my fingers slipped), and it crashed
hard... the clear plexiglass side is cracked bad and the
screw holes dont line up anymore on the case because I guess
the weight of the case dropping (it's huge/heavy) caused it
to bend out of shape.... so yeah I no longer have a video
card and even if I did, I can't even put my computer back
together... at least if that definition includes 'all sides
attached and secure' god damnit, and I have 20 dollars to my
name. FUCK.

my hdd is dead because i was lazy and didnt bother to
install norton antivirus until AFTER i had a virus and now
the program wont install. but hooray i still have my lovely
new laptop.

sorry bout ur puter dude, you dont have any spare vidcards
lying around you could use in the meantime? cuz not having
all the sides on is no problem at all. that how i had my
comp for like 2 years.

hehe, yeah when I was in the process of building this comp,
I had the cd rom drive hanging out the side, not even in a
drive bay for like 2 months =p

I've got my old Geforce2 card, but it's basically the same
as not having one, because I can't play any games with that
card, and if I just wanted my computer for internet, well,
then i'd be fine with using this one (my parents).... oh
well, looks like i'll just work all summer with no relief in
between shifts. =P

I should just donate this shitbox to qrter.... then he'll
finally have a computer and we can show him the internet and
places like xltronic.

was quite funny at the time). probably not though

taught me how shit boring my life is without my computer.
