My Mother's work friend (him being a PC tech guy) visited our house so he can fix my Mother's laptop for reasons in no need for explanation. He took a rest from the fixing process and wandered around our house with peaceful permission. He went into my room just to see my (past) PC that he oh-so built back in 2003/04. He asked for my PC's status. I responded with an A-OK. His response: "Does anything need an upgrade?"
There most certainly was. My PC had a single-core, Pentium4 processor that is nearly impossible to buy , now that all computers--from business purposes to the like--had dual-core processor. So yes, the processor had to go. As for everything else, I was fine with it. I just had to get a better CPU.
"Alright, Tim. Give me the PC and I'll get it done!", The man said with cheerful glee.
As he built and upgraded, I traveled to LA to visit my Great Grandmother's funeral, for she ceased to live at 98. After embracing the sorrow and unbearable temperature of LA, I finally made it back to my home town, Fremont. By then, I forgot about the whole PC business. I finally remembered after witnessing my PC's nonexistence. So I waited for a day, and that's when the tech-guy-dude brought a giant box containing something way beyond my knowledge. But despite my dumbfoundedness, I was excited and happy at the same time.
Now, we all know what that box contained, so there is no need for blunt explanations. The topic that should be stated are the specs. And by all reason and logic, are they gawk worthy.
- 2 Terabyte HDs (One being my original)
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
- 4 GB of RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 (GeForce GTX 285)
- LG LCD Monitor. 1920x1080 21''.
And better yet, I bought a VGA cord for my 360 and connected it to the back of my monitor. I can now play my 360 games at full 1080p. How freaking awesome is that? And despite the monitor and VGA cord, it was all free. Apparently, the tech-guy that my Mother's friends with won the lottery and had the ability to upgrade my PC just for the hell of it. Or heck, he wanted to give me an awesome gift. I give my thanks to him.
I hope I didn't make any of you lads and laddies jealous. Sometimes I regret having "cool, expensive" stuff, simply because it makes me look like a brat. But I seldom get things like this, so bear with me here. This was a once-in-a-lift-time thing, and it sure makes me happy.
Thanks for reading, folks. Have a great day.
