I ordered some hardware so I could build my new PC earlier this week. I wanted to take a moment to describe the anticipation that geeks nerds tech people go through when they order new computer hardware. It usually involves checking the tracking numbers every few hours, starting only a few hours after making the initial order. Personally, I also read reviews about the specific components I ordered to convince myself that it was worth the money spent.
When the shipments finally arrived (only 2 days after ordering…thanks newegg.com), my anticipation of receiving the parts was shortly replaced by the anticipation of getting it all working. I decided to utilize my lunch hour (or 2 hours on this particular day) to put it all together, and after it was finished, my anticipation continued when I pressed the power button to power it on for the first time. My hopes were short-lived however, as it didn’t power on correctly the first time. This problem only served to prolong my anticipation, only this time it was the anticipation of fixing the problem that was inevitably caused by me.
So, after having built this new computer, was it worth all the money spent and time consumed? I can’t say I can legitimately say “yes” at this point, but I’ll reserve judgement until I finish my first LAN party with this new beast.
