The new Tower. It is shiny. January 20, 2008

So this gamer chick has finally done it. She has bought a new computer. Granted the actual adventures in getting it were amusing at best.
It started out with getting home Friday, and being impatient. See Tia didn’t want to go outside with me to get it, so I had to get a babysitter. This is where good ol’ Swan, my partner in Anime Convention crimes comes into the picture.
It took about an hour, because he missed the 12:30pm bus from his place of residence to mine. Upon arrival I gave him instructions on how to keep Tia amused. In this case, it was the simple rm files of Sailor Moon Stars for Tia. (She’s a big moon fan, and considering I have everything except a few eps of S and Supers, it’s a given.)
I grabbed my daughters sled, dressed as warmly as I could and was on my way. The store isn’t that far at all from where I live. Just have to cross one street and walk down the strip mall to get to it.
When I got in, the guy I talked to last Tuesday didn’t recognize me right away, so a simple prompting of “I called last Tuesday looking for a system that could play wow.” He recognized me then and we started to go through the towers, based on price and specs. I had a $444.00 dollar budget.
We finally settled on a nice tower which is taller then my old one. Before tax it was around 2 hundred, bring it to around 3 hundred. I snapped it up. It looks really nice. Fits on my desk nicely. I have a good long warenty on it as well.
Getting it home was a pain though.
Due to snow there was constat risk of the sled I had it strapped to tipping, so I had to bend over butt in the air, and push the thing home.
Needless to say I did get it home alright.
But my hands were unbelievably numb.

I gotta wonder - have you settled on a name for the new machine yet?
