I have so many pending web design/web development projects, SEO projects, and also trying to still catch up with two SEO contest. My rankings are going down, my web projects are barely done, and my PC never stopped rebooting. My PC just never stopped rebooting whenever I run WAMP. For some reason it kept rebooting my PC and I was barely getting work done. And I just had it. I squeezed the last cash I have, and the little left of my credit limits on two of my credit cards just to get a new CPU. Fixing my computer and buying new parts would be just too time consuming and I barely had the time to fix them and still get the job done.
After briefly checking prices online, I decided to go to Office Depot, Frys and BestBuy. Office Depot was mostly out of stock, also with a small variety of CPUs to choose from. BestBuy had a good selection, but just before buying at BestBuy, I checked Frys too. Frys has cheaper units that were $30 cheaper than BestBuy. But I had no credit card there and I had a BestBuy card. So I went for BestBuy.
Although I really want to buy myself an Alienware someday, I just did not have the money and I just need a CPU good enough to get the job done and last for a long time again. So I got an eMachines Intel Pentium D 805 with 1GB DDR and 200GB Hard Disk. It was not a SATA drive so it was still a bit slow. But at least it is more stable that my PC that kept rebooting. I needed the power of dual monitors too so I bought a NVidia 512MB AGP card. So now i have no money.
And payday is still on December 20. Good thing I got Adsense, TLA, PPP, Kontera, ReviewMe, and other stuff that is keeping me alive in the meantime.
