As I said earlier this week, the fantastic Stevie was building me a brand spanking new powerful machine! It’s the first upgrade I’ve treated myself to since First Year (think 8+ years) so it was definitely overdue!
Now, I’m not really a ‘hardware’ person. Sure, I have a BSC in Compsci, but that doesn’t mean I’ve ever touched the inside of a computer before. It was pretty awesome to see the insides get put together, and figure out what did what to make my machine as AWESOME and POWERFUL as it is!
Not only is my new machine made up of TEH AWESOME parts (think a ridiculous amount of RAM, a quad core cpu, one of those ‘serious’ graphics cards and a stupid amount of hd space) but according to the box, it’s also Rock Solid. And Heart Touching.
Which really, is what you want in a new shiny computer. Something that’s powerful, fast and solid. And heart touching.
I’ve never loved a new machine so much. :)

This made me laugh! When upgrades and tech-stuff happen chez moi, I try to avoid the scene of the crime. Because otherwise when my husband’s brain explodes from dealing with whatever I’ve screwed up it will get all over my shoes.
Our office often looks like this — computer parts and happy people all about!
@Sarah – haha, it made me laugh too :) And yeah, usually The Boy does this kind of stuff. But I asked Stevie to help, cause that meant I was more likely to get a hand in whatever was going on. The Boy is very serious about his hardware, much like your husband, I think :)
@Desiree – yay for happy people all about! XD!
