Oni Kidou's blog: "Random Blogs"

Finally some good news. I got my computer fully fixed and upgraded which means that O.K. Studio is now up and running again. Here's a list of the stuff I had to get. New power supply New motherboard (ASUS M2N32-SL Deluxe Wireless Edition) AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+ New RAM (Patriot Viper DDR2 - 4 GB total) New graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Alpha Dog Edition 512 MB DDR3) Total cost: about $600

I got my new power supply but guess what. WHile installing it, I noticed a black mark on my motherboard and thought that wasn't good. I was hoping it was nothing to be worried about but when I turned the computer on, I could smell something burning. Good the the new power supply automatically shuts itself off if there's a power failure or whatnot. I moved the power supply out of the case and had it laying on the workbench and turned it on again to see if i can figure out where the burn smell was coming from. It was coming from near the CPU area. So now I have to get a new motherboard, but not only that, I have to get a new CPU since finding motherboards and CPUs that are socket 754 are almost impossible to find nowadays. So I'm gonna be getting a new ASUS motherboard and new Althon 64 CPU that are AM2. So that will be great. However I have to wait about seven days for when I get some money then about another three to five days for the new parts to get shipped from Newegg (geek paradise XD). So yeah. That's what's going on right now. O.K. Studio is still shut down but hopefully will be back up in no time.

...Not! Well this is was happened. Earlier this week, I was copying an edited version of Halo 2 over to my modded Xbox (which I had called Xbox Red). I leave for a moment to go to the bathroom while it was copying the files over to the hard drive on my Xbox Red. Suddenly after finishing my business, I hear a loud *POP* and I said to myself "what the fuck was that?" and then rushed into my room to find my Xbox Red with smoke coming out from it. I unplugged the power cord from it without even having to think and I took it to the kitchen and took the cover off to find even more smoke. I found out what happened after the smoke cleared. A compasitor popped and the "blood" from it burnt the motherboard and melted some wires. I was annoyed by that. Luckly I have more than one Xbox. I still had my other Xbox (which I call Blue) and decided to mod it again since I use my Xbox 360 for getting on Xbox Live. Now tonight, the power supply of my computer fried and now I am minus a working computer. This really sucks because now I can't work on my music or anything for listening and for video game productions. So now I have to get a new power supply from either Newegg or go to a local store like Office Depot and get one there. At least I still have my Wii for browsing the net and my Xbox 360 for getting on MSN Messenger. Man this week sucks. I hope next week will be better.

Okay. So my dog chwed through my network cable to my computer. Now I can't get online through my computer. So now I'm on my Wii right now typing this blog up. Not only that. I can't play on my Xbox 360 online either as I had my two NICs bridged to share my Internet connection to my Xbox 360. At least tomorrow morning I'm going down to Radio Shack to get a new 30 foot network cable. Yes. A 30 foot cable to reach from them the room the cable modem and the router is, all the way to my room and into my computer. At least I have my Wii to surf the Internet with. And I have my PSP to listen to online radios (it's modded, if anybody's wondering how). So in short. Oni's not a happy demon. I will be in the morning. Don't worry. See you all later then.

Yeah. First blog entry. 'Nuff said. :p
