Fun i have had of late.
Quote from Blade on September 2, 2024, 7:47 pmOk, first off grab a coffee before reading any further, hope you will be amused of what i have been through the past week or two.
My Computer Chair finally died, it actually exploded with me it... leaning back and boom, I'm on the floor cursing.
I order a new Gaming Chair, in fact i ordered 2 as my flat mate wanted one as well as he had a Birthday coming up in a week.The Delivery driver didn't deliver it, we got a message 'customer not home' when we were home at the time... so off i go the the Post Office to collect my package.
Nope, it has been moved to another Depot. I go there as it's 24hr I'm told, get there and it only has 24hr lockers no one to contact or collect...
Next day to go back and collect package, bring it home open box and wrong Chair.Contacted Seller for return, repackage and send back to them, they sent another Chair to replace it.
Finally correct Chair arrives, flat mate sorted.Second Chair due to turn up, this time they delivered it to the property, again wrong bloody Chair, this time a different company. So we have had 2 wrong chairs delivered. This time they wanted me to send it back to China at my expense which is not going to happen. Lot of emails and message back and forward we finally agreed on a deal of 50% refund and keep the Chair which i hate. Ok, so i ordered another one from a 3 business, turns up in the next day or two, oh my i hope it is the right one. So for now I'm sitting on an old plastic Garden chair lol.
Moving on, TAX Return time, so i ordered the parts for a new PC build.
I have 2 PC here, one was the TIO Server Computer and the other my personal PC.
I wanted to put everything from PC1 case into PC2 case and the new build into PC1 case. This way i have 2 good PC's as PC2 was out dated.
And the PC wont boot up now, worked fine 5 mins ago in other case.... Long story short it turned out to be the Power Supply Unit was Faulty in PC2.
Sorted and Fixed we have the old PC working again.Parts arrived for new build, all excited!
Start putting it together, CPU in and .. where is the CPU Cooling Fan? Oh they don't come with them anymore. So off i go trying to find where i can get one on the Weekend... Lucky find a PC parts guy had a Twin Fan Water Cooler, just fits in PC case. All good to go now, I think...New PC together, boot up and Orange light on Motherboard... 3 days later after trying every option and idea we got it going. These new PC are so different from the old stuff i know lol.

Quote from Blade on September 7, 2024, 8:57 amWell the Correct Chair turned up yesterday, yay! Very Comfy.
New PC Is running Great.
One thing I didn't mention in the previous post, I went down played the Pokies (Slot Machines) which i don't do that often. Won $1000, which is a lot for me to win... Next morning the Starter Motor started playing up, so off i go to fix that.... then the Car Key went funny and had to replace the FOB (Key Head) and finally on the way home the remote for the Garage Door Button fell apart lol, Ok so all this adds up to $1000.
