New PC!
Yay! Finally got myself a new PC~ After months of using the school's laptop, lugging it to and fro work and home, I finally bought a new desktop.
Why a desktop instead?

Well, actually, I was in-between of getting a laptop and a desktop. But what made me get a desktop instead was the thought that it lasts longer. Yes, a laptop can be very convenient especially now that I've started my UniSIM. But I still didn't like the idea of lugging it around. With a desktop, I have a proper and complete workstation as it comes with a photocopier-printer-scanner.

I think I got a good deal. The NEC Powermate came with a free upgrade to 2GB ram, 4GB thumbdrive and the 3-in-1 printer. The mouse and keyboard are wireless, which means no more knotty workstation. The monitor and CPU are together, so no more bulky CPU on the floor. There's even a compartment to keep my keyboard after use. I can set up a slideshow and put it in the living room and my pc becomes an electronic photoframe.

The total cost of the PC was about $1.9k (after adding the 4-yrs extended warranty and MS Office) but since I'm paying by instalments, it didn't burn a big hole in my pocket.

So now, I'm more motivated to do my assignments! *grinz*
