Dear diary,

Today i finished uploading windows 7 onto my new old acer , bought a slick little remote with mouse/keyboard capabilities, (http://www.amazon.ca/HDE-Multi-media-Portable-Wireless-Handheld/dp/B00CKSWBB6), and a
wireless lan cable setup to connect the desktop to my wireless router since it doesnt have a wireless card. Also bought a 6 ft hdmi cable :D.
Total purchase cost 142$, ( damn hdmi cords are overpriced in small towns fml )
Managed to score an extra 1 TB barracuda hard drive from work for free! So connected that shit fast,
unfortunately it didnt have an extra sata port for the new hard drive so i just disconnected the dvd drive... who needs a disk drive?..
and now the little acer that could is a storage monster,

Going to connect it to my 52inch tv tonight and start downloading some movie data bases for the new terabyte hard drive. And then stream halloween movies :D

** will probably over clock it some time over the weekend. **


142..... how much was the hdmi cable... you can get a 6ft cable on amazon for like 12$ or less

Too long, I'd use something else at that point.
