When the container arrived, the door opened and out popped 5 Mexicans called Sancho. They were very efficient and put all the boxes in different rooms. It took a couple of hours and we were left with a house full of boxes wondering where everything was supposed to go. It's not due to a lack of room but down to a lack of creative design on our part.<\/p>\n
We took a break from looking at all the boxes yesterday.<\/p>\n
A quick survey of the computer parts that came out of the container revealed that we needed another trip to Fry's.<\/p>\n
For some reason, the expensive PC I ordered a couple of years ago only came with a 230v power supply but the cheap little PC I hand-built came with a switchable one. Go figure.<\/p>\n
I replaced the power supply with a 500w one which is definitely switchable and comes with detachable cables so that you only install the cables you need rather than the one nest of cables that usually comes with a power supply.<\/p>\n
That and it glows in the dark under UV light.<\/p>\n
I also bought a couple of 500w step-up transformers to allow us to use the stereo and DVD player in the living room. This is a short-term plan because the TV we brought over with us doesn't work completely. I knew this beforehand but chanced it anyway. Sam is telling me to get a plasma TV and I'm never one to refuse her every demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
