Yeah, so I had a long absence from posting. I think my motivation just tanked this month for some reason. Busy with work, new achievement pack for Team Fortress 2 and just a general malaise I think...
But anyways, I'm back and starting to write shit again. First off, 没想到因为有了同事的link，就有其他的同事也过来探访我的blog.以后写东西要更加谨慎。能用3种语言来写这个blog就是有这个好处。虽然有时候没有人知道我想说的话，也有几次我说的话，不想让人明白，只想发泄一下。
In any case, because of the said achievement pack and because Street Fighter 4 is coming out for the PC AND because it's already 2.5 years old, I think it's time to start looking for a new PC. I was just messing around on newegg to see what OEM parts cost and then I went to Dell to see what a pre-assembled PC would cost and I think Dell has damn expensive labour...
As you can see, Dell charges a $200 premium on upgrading from the core i7 920 to the 940. That's almost 100% more expensive than the OEM upgrade. The upgrade to the i7 965 is even more bullshit. It's over $400!! WTF. They must be hiring all the retrenched Wall Street brokers to install these processors or something... Just by looking at this comparison, I think I'm going to have to build the next one from OEM parts. This way, any savings can be put to the "Fly home and see friends get married" fund. I doubt there will be much dissent here regarding that course of action.
Ok, that's enough for now. I hope to spec my rig by next week and then I'll start to talk about more important things like housing. Lol.
