Bound to have happened

I've left it for another few weeks again ... nothing new. I had fully intended to post but procrastinating was easier, always seems to be something better to do. Not that I don't have any excises I wouldn't like to use, like my internet was capped or I was in the middle of building my computer ... but that was last week.

Brand spanking new

Old Computer Fan

So what have I been doing for the past week then? Well playing games on my new computer that's what. Why do you suppose my first blog was called When I'm not playing games? I sort of played less games because my computer got outdated ... after 8 or 9 years which is actually pretty good lifetime. Still use it to play some stuff but can't play any of the newer stuff because can't run directx 10 or 11 ... something round that. Capacity wise it can but just only after a certain graphics card can you run the newer directx. I even got games because with the numbers I thought I could run them ... just missing the right graphics driver. It was pretty up there for its time, not the most expensive but pretty darn good. 

This time it cost quite a bit. Guess the price of parts went up while I wasn't keeping updated. Was also a lot harder to put it together than last time. Not saying last time I didn't have any problems. Burnt through 2 USB sticks before I figured out I had put the usb power in the 10 volt slot instead of the 5 volt ... duh. This time I returned and swapped parts thinking it was something wrong with part compatibility but instead it was a stupid mistake of not putting in the power for the motherboard ... the second power plug!?! How should I have known I had to plug power in the motherboard at 2 different points?!? Also the CPU this time didn't come with a fan/heat sink because it was just that high qua that I had to get one separately. Beast of a heat sink fan combo. In the end it worked and that's all that it really matters. Also it looks so pretty :D. Still not the best but think for price and power it should hopefully last me for some time. Also it has pretty pretty lights ... I'm not going to geek out and list the components but if you want to know just ask me. 

Anyways post wise I will be posting hopefully about volunteer work which I had promised ... also something maybe about camp that was on last week ... maybe one more thing that I thought I remembered but can't put my finger on it.

Wasn't sick this Monday so went swimming and brunch with the other guys so here's some pictures just because I want to post these somewhere.
