Very Bad Month

Usually I love August, the month I was born in, baseball in full swing. However this August has been a very bad month for me, at least electronic wise.
This month I have had three different high value electronics die on me. First was my Xbox 360, had to send it in to get repaired. Was without it for a few weeks while I was waiting on it to get back to me. Second was my cell phone, this one was my fault though. I jumped into the pool with my cell still in my pocket. What can I say, sometimes I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Third was my computer. This one is probably the one I hate the most, and the most expensive to replace.
Right now I have an old computer pieced together 600-800mhz processor or so running on Ubuntu. It works fine I guess..for basic web browsing but isn’t much good for anything else. Ever since my computer went down I have been pricing parts to build my new computer. Seems like most configs have been running me anywhere from around 500-700 the lower end is without and operating system and me just using Ubuntu on it as well. I am leaning toward getting Vista a little bit, just for support of DirectX 10 but maybe it isn’t worth it, might just go with XP Pro (or just use home that I already have) and wait until a late time to upgrade to Vista. that way I can at least wait until some games are out using directX 10.
Regardless I need about 600-650 to be able to build the new computer, I am hoping to get it soon, might have to sell all my worldly possessions. I need have someone “Buy me a beer” on my last post for $25 I am going to put that in the “Get me a new computer fund”
