Buying Used Cars

I was looking at autotrader.ca the other day, and I found a deal on a Pontiac Sunfire. The Sunfire isn't my first choice in cars because I feel it has a "mass-produced" image (there's too many of them!). However, it is one of the cheapest cars you can buy...lol...so... The car I found was a 1999 Pontiac Sunfire GT, black, with pw,pl,pm. There's alloy rims, a spoiler, and a cd player. It has 150,000 km on it...not bad. And the sale price is $3900 (that's in Canadian dollars).

FINALLY BUILDING MY PC!!! OH YEAH!

Here's something that's really cool - I'm finally ordering parts for the new computer I'm building! YEAH!!! I got the Nvidia 7800GTX videocard off ebay...let's hope it works. I say that because although I have received the card, I have not been able to test it out. That's because the motherboard in my current system doesn't support the newer PCI-Express connector the 7800GTX has - it only has an AGP slot. So...here's the list of stuff that's going into my new pc.

CASE: Thermaltake Tsunami (All Aluminum, Windowed)
POWER SUPPLY: Antec NeoHE 550 (550W)
MOTHERBOARD: Asus SLI-Premium
PROCESSOR: AMD X2 4800+ (DUAl Core - 2.4 GHZ, 1MB Cache per core)
RAM: Corsair 3500LL-Pro (2GB low latency - 2,3,2,6 @218Mhz, LEDs)
VIDEOCARD: nVidia GeForce 7800GTX (256 MB)
HARD DRIVE: Western Digital SE16 (250 GB, 16MB Cache)
CPU COOLING FAN: Artic Cooling 64 Pro
OS: Windows XP Pro (w/service pack 2)

I plan on overclocking the CPU to at least 2.6GHZ...:)! Can't wait!

It's Been A While...Again

I really need to update this blog more often...
OK...I've been busy with work at Calabogie Peaks ski hill the last couple months. The job is drawing to an end now, though. So...it's time to find a new one. Exciting, eh.
