Things of mine to see:

---

My compy is being nicer today. It only needed to be smacked a few times and have the drivers reinstalled. I still hold a grudge against this thing, though. I kinda blame myself sometimes for something I did to it. I busted the antenna off. It still seems to work fine, but for the time being, it has an antenna from our old wireless router. (the wireless part was going bad.) I still turn off the Linksys drivers because they're no good, hogs all your memory, which I need, only having 384 MB.

I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do for the order in which to buy parts for my computer. Right now, I'm thinking like this:
• Motherboard (Has "good" Vista support)
• Windows XP, if I can find it at the time
• Processor
• Power Supply (I need a powerful one)
• Hard Drive
• Case (Since that doesn't -REALLY- matter...)
• Video Card (Something good, hopefully.)
• Audio Card (Maybe, just to upgrade from integrated)
• Anything else that fails to come to mind.

I want to hack up a Mac Pro case (Or really modify it to make it work for me) and put my new computer in there because I love the look of the Mac Pro/PowerMac G5. They're pretty slick, designed only as Apple can. If I had some $2500 to spend, I would just get a Mac itself, but I don't. :(

Here's my reasoning for buying those parts first: The motherboard is the best one on the market for me, AMD (I like AMD) and DDR2 RAM, not to mention hundreds of little things that I like too. Then, I want Windows XP because I'm a sucker for XP. Third the processor because I don't know how long the Socket AM2 will last. Everything else is semi-randomly chosen, though.

Anyways, I need to get showered and in bed. This time next week I'll be in school again, and I won't be able to do this 3AM internet browsing stuff.

If you think I should buy my computer parts in a different order, let me know how you think it should go. And sorry for making another nerdy post. I can't really help it.
