User blog:Jamdog/Computer Death

My old PC finally gave up the will to live a couple of weeks ago, leaving me without proper internet access. I am unable to play Gnometown, and my phone's browser gets redirected to a 'cut-down' version of wikia that doesn't allow for editing.

I have now replaced the motherboard and power unit (not sure which was at fault, so swapped both of them!), but the new motherboard only has one IDE slot, and therefore doesn't support all my old drives (2 internal hard-drives, DVD Writer and CD Writer), and the IDE cable won't reach from my main hard-drive to the DVD Drive, thus I cannot have both of them up and running to reinstall my OS.

The solution? I plan to purchase a SATA drive (either Blu-Ray or another Hard-drive), as I'm not using any SATA slots on the new motherboard. When I can afford to do this, I plan to have my computer up and running within hours, and will return to my daily editing of the wiki. Until then, I'm kinda stuck.

I'll try to pop in when I can, especially for spam removal, but cannot promise any regular internet access right now.

If you have any questions, my facebook link should be on my profile page, feel free to drop me a friend request, and ask me a question there. I check Facebook daily using the app on my phone...
