Feel myself like a computer technician these days. Two days service 3 computers and quite sien about it too.

Nothing to update on weekends. Same boring weekends just that Sunday had a great buy from Carrefour roadshow. Western Digital My Passport Essential 500GB cost me $73. Thanks to my cousin who happened to promote for WD and help me reserve 2 pieces for me for MC and myself.

Den at night ran some rounds around stadium with usual people. Long time never exercise and stamina drop...

Monday:

Went to Sim Lim Square with Joseph and Yihao to shop for Joseph desktop parts. Went to a particular shop at 5th floor (quite near to my previous workplace) and bought the parts and ask the person to assemble there (i lazy to assemble myself and assembling skill rusty).

Joseph budget computer specification which i help him to source before buying:

Processor: AMD Athlon II X3 445

Motherboard:Biostar A780L3G

RAM: Kingston DDR3-1333MHz 2GB

Hard Disk:Western Digital 500GB blue

Optical Drive: Samsung SATA 22X DVD Rewriter

Power Supply Unit: Aerocool 500 watts

Casing: CM Elite 341

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (those who know me well in IT should know how i get :D)

Total damage include "assembling" fee: $420

If any reader looking for budget desktop just for surfing net, watch video, play non-graphic intesne game. Can consider the following specification and parts

Seriously i like the Biostar motherboard i mentioned above, cause the colour quite nice and easily overclocked.

This time choose AMD platform is due to the budget he gave me and the processor mention above is a triple core processor. Can say on par or better than i3 processor depending on the model and usage.

The picture of the motherboard (i like the colour and one of the best for buck motherboard with integrated graphic):

But sort of dun like the service from that particular shop. Although the price is cheaper than other shops, but how they handle customer parts, trying to steal some components like SATA cable, CD driver and screws from joseph's desktop I am speechless. Luckily I was at the shop when the person is assembling and check every single parts, CD drivers and cable before leaving Simlim. To those who really idiot about Computers especially DIY desktop, please ask those who knows about this area before going to that particular shop and buy from them. Or else kena chop carrot then u know.

Also, I will not even patronize that shop again unless I am buying individual components from them.

Back to jo's house and put in another 80GB harddisk salvage from his old desktop as a backup hard disk. Spent 2 hours installing everything for him before i went home.

Return home still have to reformat and upgrade yy's laptop..

Tuesday:

Help pl to upgrade her desktop and return yy her laptop. Gossip quite alot and had my very full lunch. LOL.

Next 3 days have to go back school to prepare competition.... There goes my Semester Holiday :(

The picture of my desktop (green light coming out), my laptop and yy laptop:

Anyway next time anyone want to upgrade or buy DIY desktop, feel free to approach me. I will charge you cheaper than outside rate or even FOC depending on the project u give me.

Darn. I spent like $20 transport fee just 4 days. ZzZZzzZZzzz

And got a screwed timetable for my sems 2...
