With the tvlessness and roof falling drama came the need for a new computer. I know that none of those things sound connected, but trust me, they are.
We are satelliteless, monthly bill-less, but we now have dvr capabilities on network channels through the wonders of open source computer magic.
When checking out new computers and their prices, my tech-y hubby quipped, “I bet I could build a $1500 computer for $500.” Uh oh. I know a Parker adventure when I hear one.
He's so happy.
Hard at work.
My wired living room. Order will eventually reign again, but until then I'm patient with all the computer innards.
Sure enough, $550 later we had all kinds of boxes arrive with cool colors and blinky lights. All I know is that I can now skip through commercials on American Idol nights and watch The Middle and 30 Rock anytime I want. Really that’s all that matters. That and PBS has become my mid-day friend.
Man dats one fancy puter case, i don't want to get all technical on you Laron but that mother broad done got fused to the microprocessor.
Cool! My husband's a geek, too… and I don't think I ever once have bought a whole computer. But Matt made some pretty good choices – I think we have the exact same case. And you picked an AMD processor! Yay yay yay! My hubby works there, so I'm a bit partial
And YES! Isn't DVR amazing?! Life has never been the same!
My Dearest Wife,
That Phenom XII 550 is pimpin! Tell Sara to tell her husband that I said to tell you to tell her to tell him, “Thanks for making a great product!” … or you could just improvise something if you can come up with anything more eloquent.
Thanks,
Me
Can your “geeky” husband share more details for other “geeky” husbands out here? We do something similar, but I showed this post to my husband and he said he would love to hear the details. If he doesn't want to post details can my husband contact him via email?
he said absolutely – his name's matt – email him at matthewlparker@gmail.com
We're just wannabe-geeks over here. That looks amazing. Um…wow.
my geeky self is soooo excited for you! way to go matt!!!
Hm. I left a comment a day or two ago but don't see it. It basically said 'wowI'mimpressedwithyouguys!', only it was more clever when i said it the first time.
What a great excited geek face~
