Super blehness multiplied by uber gehness multiplied by the size of my ass.

ya..that's major. Ok..so for those who don't know..lemme recap. I fried my motherboard. 7 capacitors on the board...5 ballooned out like tin cans filled with nasty gas...2 cracked open completely. What does that mean? *cries* Time to buy new shit. So....i go to the store...buy a new motherboard, a new cpu to fit the mobo and 2 sticks of 1 gb ddr2 ram (cuz my 4gbs of existing ram were ddr and..the new board doesn't take ddr..only ddr2. joy). Ok...so that was 600 dollars. Omg right? wait..it doesn't end there. I install all this crap..looking forward to getting back up and running..and no go. wtf is wrong?? So i break down and take this expensive pos into the shop...the mobo is bad. Bent pin under the cpu. No..i did not do that..it came like that. So..labor + mobo replacement + a clean and LEGAL install of windows vista..and im looking at another 600 dollars. Ok..when i take the bad mobo back to the store i got it from, i'll get 200 of that back. will bring my total from 1200 dollars down to 1k. joy. I'm looking into selling the old cpu, which is still perfect, an intel pentium 4, dual core lga 775 chipset. And I'm looking into selling the old ram, also still good..4 matching sticks of pc-3200 ddr 1 gb ram. I have a few ppl interested already, just gotta get them from interested to purchasing. Ugh. I'm sooo not happy right now. In the meantime i finally got my back up computer up and running today. So I'm running on an older 1.4 ghz system with 768 mb ram and a 64 mb nvidia graphics card. I'm really not very happy but...it could be worse and at least it's something. And.....there ya have it. *cries*
