My P4

My P4 die after 4.5 years
I bought it on 14 February 2004...what a lovely day ya..
My VERY FIRST personal computer..

7 days without PC..
trouble shoot for a few days..

Everynite I went back first thing I did was retart the PC to see if thre is any suprise..
Apparent nope...No display still..
I, surrender....
disassemble every single parts from the casing..
don know what to do with it..

It is Socket 478, AGP,SATA 1.........
Yes. I don know it is old...
everyone said it is old..
but it serves me well...
occasionally it gave me some troubles..
but i learnt to troubleshoot the pc ..

anyway, I think the MOBO die; or may be it could be the CPU.
The rest of the other components work well...

I was living in Telok for 3 years without PC. How amazing..
Move along this PC to Penang..
since then it company me everynite I stay in Penang.
It sound as though how boring the life in Penang huh ... :-p
That's why I cant imagine how bad Kulim could be...as compare to Telok. hahahahhaa (apparent a telok fren said it might be that bad..)

So now my options open...
1. replace the mobo if it is MOBO <200RM... (don laugh it is my first PC so quite memorable... =p)
2. build a new desktop
3. get a notebook
4. get a ready desktop..

very much wanna repair it..
but as of now pc getting cheaper (thats what everybody said)
RM1500 could get a quite decent desktop.(thats wat everyone said)
so I KATAk

Intel vs AMD
core 2 duo vs Quad
E8400, Q6600? Or Phenom...
P43,P45,AMD770, AMD780..
HD 3850,HD4870,9500GT,9600GS0....
All sound damn alien to me...
I am not gamer so I not need a gamer pc...
however my p4 was built about gamer spec except the gc.. (still very proud of it hahahhaahhaaa...)

Dell? Acer Atom?
12.1', 13.1',14.1',15.1'?

oooo there is new launch.... Asus Eee-box?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
A Boring nite...
