Computer woes

gemfyreLooks like the motherboard is gone.
This is bad. No WAY can I afford to replace that at the moment. Weird, because I don't think the water got anywhere near there.

jassa is letting me borrow FirstEvil for now, which is better than a kick in the face. It's an old slow computer so playing games is probably out of the question but hopefully I can still do all the essentials.
This WILL be a good thing. I will use all the time I'd waste playing games doing constructive stuff and exercise like things. *nods determinedly*
I still sure would like a nice new desk though... IKEA are having a sale, I must have a look.

Date: 2004-06-18 11:10 pm (UTC)I just don't have the money at the moment.
For now I will use this loan computer but that's certainly an option if you still have it around when I get up a bit of money to buy it. :)

Re: her puter
Date: 2004-06-19 05:28 am (UTC)What do you reckon?
As in, where and when?
Re: her puter
Date: 2004-06-19 12:19 pm (UTC)Seeing as it's local & close how about the cafe across from the fruit & veg place at Dog Swamp? It's actually easier for me to get there than the city.
As for when....well, I'm pretty nuch free during the day anytime so I'll leave that bit up to you :)
Re: her puter
Date: 2004-06-20 06:05 am (UTC)That motherboard (and graphics card), really how much are you after for it. This loan computer is shitting me already and I'm considering just coughing up a couple hundred to get it back to normal again.
Ooh, I have $60 in my moneybox too...
Re: her puter
Date: 2004-06-20 10:13 am (UTC)Look - seeing as you're so strapped for cash & we have a few bits & there's no guarantees on the size of the RAM & there's a PCI & an AGP graphics card which you can have too (use whatever one's better & have a standby) & the board with the chip...
call it $100 the lot (as long as you have someone to put it together for you - my partner unfortunately doesn't have time to even fix *my* machine right now!).
I'm free Friday too :)
If that deal's good to you then you may have a computer on Friday!
Re: her puter
Date: 2004-06-20 10:19 am (UTC)And I know plenty of computer geeks to put it all together. My other half often seems busy but also he's a software person and tends to run screaming from hardware, but I know other people who will work for hugs and brownies and oodles of gratitude.
Re: her puter
Date: 2004-06-20 10:29 am (UTC)I have set aside your bundle-o-bits.
Mmmmm - brownies!
Hheeh - cool... "how did you meet?" "well, we were on a childfree & cooking list then I sold her some computer bits..."
hehheeh
So meeting up at Dog Swamp sounds ok to you? It's actually easier than me going "just come over here" cos this place is really hard to find. Friday early afternoon? I'll bring the bits with me.
