Acer X203H Happy then SAD ...

I have finally managed to buy a LCD monitor, not my first choice nor preference but beggars can't be choosers. Best bang for buck, the Acer X203H a 20" widescreen LCD with DVI, speakers, 16:9 and 10000:1 contrast ratio. With some help from a friend's friend, i managed to lower the price shown for retail. Friendly and knowledgeable guy, if in future i have any PC related things to buy, i will be sure to seek him.





Never liked Acer since it existed but in this case i really have no choice, with my wallet filled with only 8 pieces of Rm50, that is the max i can fork out for a LCD. The speaker is at the back so not gonna expect much sound from it. One down side to this purchase is that it has a dead pixel, i was told that it must have 15 dead pixels then only its eligible to claim for warranty? :(

Sometimes i really think im cursed, as soon i as i have setup and configured the PC with relevant softwares, the HDD died!!! I fucking flipped out!!! NIAMA CCB, just when i just settled down to enjoy a long dormant PC, it just fucking stopped working. To make matters worse, that was my biggest HDD, really KNNCCB!!! Fortunately though, i did not have much data on it, unfornately though i have just lost a 120GB HDD. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Although the prices of storage are crashing worse than the global stock market, i still can't see where i can squeeze enough money to buy another new HDD. This coupled with my lazyness to reinstall everything again. Maybe, just maybe if and when i have shifted to my new house, i might want to upgrade this machine and install it with Vista Ultimate SP1, which i got from a Microsoft event quite some time ago.

After struggling the whole Sunday evening to find another HDD to replace the dead one and the tedious work of reinstalling ALL the things which i had configured nicely JUST THE DAY BEFORE, here i am typing in this entry. Fingers crossed that this HDD will last me until i can move into my new house.
