Putting On My Geek Hat

Thank you to all those that have offered help, but I'm putting on my geek hat and venturing down this road myself!

My husband's computer died today, and I'm rolling up my sleeves and building him a new one. I've done it before. It's fun and exciting to get all the components you want and assemble it - resulting in a fast, mean machine!

I always get nervous though.

We just spent two hours at the store picking out this and that and more of this and more of that and a dab of something else until our cart looked pretty darn full.

If all goes well, my husband should be sitting pretty later on this evening!

I always get pampered when I have to dive into computer fixing. I hear lots of, "What can I get you?", "Do you need anything?", "Want me to pour you some soda?", "I can watch the baby, sure!", "Are you hungry? I'll go pick you up food...", and the list goes on.

Personally, I think this is to trick me into tending to all the annoying installing that's involved after the system is put together.

So, wish me luck Internet!! I just hope everything is compatible...because otherwise I end up swearing too much, as if that somehow will make things suddenly work right.

Now, if I could just get the baby to nap so I can start on my project at hand!
