motherboard

I just finished fixing up a temporary computer.Here's how the story goes in my frustration and angst.I went done to Sim Lim the other day looking to get a stack of CD-Rs for work and to return some to nicky. I bought a stack of 50s. Happy, i went downstairs to meet a friend and pass him his pay. He then suggested to get a DVD-Burner. I gave it a thought. 4.6 Gbs Versus 700Mbs. Yeah..... why not?... and my burner takes forever to burn a single CD. So we went up.... and I was convinced that I needed a DVD burner. I bought one at a good S$95. Which was alot to me.. coz i hated the idea of spending money on my PC. I also bought a stack of DVD-Rs to backup my work.I got home. And opened the cover of the computer. Opened the slot that is suppose to fit the Drive. I slide the DVD-drive in. and it was sticking out almost an inch. So i gave it a nudge in hope for it to "click" in place. It did "click"... but it wasn't the drive that made the sound... It was the freaking mother board.. one of the transitors or watever broke. and becoz of that... my computer was..... "un-workable".. Which to me is TOTALLY stupid. . i mean.. why create a slot to fit in your drive.. when your drive doesn't fit???? Absolutely brainless!... Macs doesn't have these problems.SO now.. I've got to spend a goot $400 to get a new motherfuckingboard and a processing chip to 'upgrade' my computer... I tot i nailed it when i bought the DVD drive.. thinking that i've absolutely cracked it. And know i'm spending so much more. SHESH!!!My cousin has an extra motherboard... but it's too slow fer anything more than jus to burn my stuff. Thanking fully it burns properly and fast. So once i'm done with backing up my stuffs... I'm so gonna get a new system. The worst thing is.. not only some of my data has been missing due to the 'restructuring' of the motherboards... I can't play WOW at all~!!.......more updates in the next entry.. i'm too tired to write and rant anymore....
