So! Good news! Got my computer up and running Dell finally came and fixed it. Only took them 2 weeks. Two long hard freaking weeks. And a special thanks to a special douche named Steven who came and fixed it (4192348511). He wasn't that bad, just seemed kind of anal that someone actually made him do his job. BTW it was him that apparently made it two weeks. Dell said if it wasn't for him it would have been fixed in three days. Great job getting cheap labor from outsourcing Dell.

So I thought maybe I would take the time to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate after this. While I have a fresh HDD. But guess what!? No stores actually carry a full version of Windows 7 Ultimate. The upgrade from Vista yes... not Windows 7. So I eventually moved against that idea, without a comp long enough. I will just go ahead and use XP. So I installed Guild Wars, which installed and was up and playable in under 10 mins. And I started DLing Star Trek Online, which was still DLing when I left for work two hours later.... Difference in scale? Also started the tedious process of Security and Service Pack updates. And got a new Firewall and Anti-virus up and running.

Hopefully will be back and playing on STO tonight. Then Starcraft 2. Looking back on the whole thing though. I should have realized something was wrong, my computer kept getting louder. I thought it was a fan though, but in retrospect it may have been the HDD failing. Hrm...

At least it wasn't the video card or the motherboard.

Anyways, back to the gaming grind stone tonight.
