Computer Explosion!

Anyone ever have their computer explode before? I have been having problems for a while on my Intel P4 desktop for a month or so. Some pretty bad lightening strikes in the area and I'm sure a few power surges too.

Today when I turned my system on a large spark raced towards my head with galactic speed. Good thing I'm quick! There was smoke and a small fire inside my computer originating from the power supply.

As of now, the entire system is dead. The power supply is dead and possibly the CPU. The power supply was a hefty 1000 watt PSU that was very reliable too.

Well this gives me an excuse to build another machine that's even faster and not feel guilty. This build is 4 years old, so it was time to upgrade anyway. I think I'm going with the Intel i7 2600k and an ASAS motherboard, and 16gb of RAM. I also want to overclock the CPU just a bit.

All the parts were ordered with birthday money, so now I wait until they arrive. I'll keep you posted.

Last Day of Vacation Part 1

Well today is officially the last day of my vacation. Yuk! So I have to work a week and work the county fair. Oh.... Then Vacation Part 2 begins before school starts.

For those of you wondering if I was ever going to blog again after Mexico....... The answer is yes. I was on vacation remember?

Hope everyone is well!

Missing Mexico

The Mission Trip to Mexico was just simply amazing. It was nice to meet new people and spend time with some friends from last year.

The new staff at Niño's de Baja (Jerry and Robin) are great people, and I enjoyed meeting them as well. They were very helpful with are trailer issues.

So I have been back almost one week, however I'm still feeling a bit sad about leaving. It's a strange feeling that I get when I leave. Everyone in Mexico was very nice and kind to all of us that it seems very much like home......except for the heat, and not having my family there.

Looking forward to next years trip. The date is already on the calendar, so it's just a matter of time now! Yay!
