My PSU (power supply unit) finally kicked the bucket the other day. More accurately the fan in the PSU kicked the bucket. It would seize up occasionally causing the computer to crash, but I could just "jump start" it by sticking a pen or something in to rotate the fan and then it would run fine on its own. This time though, there was no recovering it. So I ordered a new one from NewEgg today, this neat one with lights in fact. I hope it arrives soon because not having the tower makes it difficult to print at the apartment, let alone it totally messes up my comic and programming aspirations. However, having to use the laptop with the grindy-growly fan, might just motivate me enough to send it in and get it replaced.
I already received the e-mail saying I've been charged for the PSU, so hopefully it will soon be followed by a shipping notice.
I was thinking about upgrading the RAM since I had the tower cracked open, but I'm not about to plunk $100 down to double the RAM from 1Gb to 2Gb, when there are no real performance hits to the system.
