I’m Hearing: Stone Sour - Inhale

I tried my roomie Brian’s Radeon 9700 pro in my current motherboard just in case…and it worked nicely. MEH! So yesterday I requested an RMA for my video card from the place I ordered from and sent it back. I was planning on shipping it Federal Express since that’s how it was sent to me…but it would have cost $25US for a 3-pound package! O__O So it went out USMail instead for about half the cost. Still damned expensive. Sheesh.

All this hardware stuff has gotten me pretty angsty and on-edge. I’m not mad that things aren’t cooperating though…it’s more accurately annoyance and irritation. <shrugs> I’m a little worried that my mobo/cpu haven’t been shipped yet and the company hasn’t replied to my email… And the fact that that case won’t be coming in anytime soon…

It is soooooooo freaking humid these days. It’s not just that the temperature is very high, but that there’s condensation on everything. I sweat just by breathing. It’s like a freaking rainforest, without the pretty vegetation. I wish it would rain, just to lower the temperature for awhile…

Spent the majority of the afternoon looking at forums to see if other people were having the same problems I am with the freezing issue, then I went searching for 9700 incompatibility issues, and there were hundreds of posts on both topics. <sigh> I wonder if the card I sent back was really busted or not… :\

Oh yeah…and it’s a week until my double-deuce… :o
