Time For A Break

I’m finally home for Thanksgiving Recess!  The drive was long because it rained the entire way (didn’t help with my mood).  Hannah rode with me so that was fun.  She kept busy by knitting her a scarf.  Hopefully she’ll knit me one, they’re pretty cool.

So, to say the least, this break from school & people is overdue.  People tend to become cranky when you spend too much time with them.  Some time away from friends is always a plus, especially when you live in a dorm and have a hundred things to do.

I can’t believe I let my blog lag like this!  It upset me so, and I tend to correct that by posting more frequently.  It’s just that I’ve been so occupied with school and the dorm.  All I want to do when I have down time is relax.  Relaxing = napping, TV, listening to music.  Relaxing does not equal endorsing drama or listening to it.

Anyways, I’m home now.  All is well.

Night!

Computer Build Post #2

I know I promised a second build post so here it is.  It takes me a bit to publish new posts.  I guess I’m too picky about my wording, etc.  My specs are as follows-

• EVGA 01G-P3-N959-TR GeForce 9500 GT 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card – Microsoft Flight Simulator FSX is my game of choice.  This card does its job!  The scenery, etc. is amazing…
• Sony Optiarc Black 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 2MB Cache SATA DVD Burner with LightScribe
• Acer X223Wbd Black 22″ 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 2500:1
• G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
• Thermaltake V9 Black Edition ATX Computer Gaming Chassis with Dual Oversized 230mm Ultra-Silent Cooling Fans VJ400G1N2Z Mid Tower – Don’t use the tool-free plastic reinforcements for the bays or slot areas.  This case has great cooling.  In total, there are four fans and an air duct.
  
• ASUS M3A76-CM AM2+/AM2 AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
• Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC 430W ATX12V Power Supply
• AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor – Currently, the highest temperature I’ve seen with this CPU is 41° C.  Not bad in my opinion.
• HITACHI Deskstar 7K1000.B 0A38005 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5″ Internal Hard Drive

Computer Build Post #1

All of my parts arrived from Newegg.  I successfully installed all components, and the machine booted on the first run.  This is a short post, but I promise a Computer Build Post #2 with my specs.
