Arghhhhh... it sucks. Living on the 3rd story of an apartment complex, no insulation, direct sunlight, and an air conditioner that doesn't work along with 90+ degree days with tons of humidity.... my case temp hasn't dropped below 39 in a week. And considering my overclock my CPU is always running about 5-8 degrees warmer than case temp anyway (when idle) so right now, its just way too hot! My idle temps are in the low-mid 40's and under load it will just crash or lockup. Had to resort to my default speed of 900 just so I can play video games again... so sad. 🙁
Also, while I'm busy bitching, I've been without an internet connection since early may! Moved into an apartment, called to have cable installed. Oh, sorry they can't service us with cable. But, that's total BS! Someone in the same complex has cable, but after 2 weeks of fighting with the cable company, they still insist we cannot get it. Also, me and my roomate don't have a phone service since we both use cell phones... so we can't even use dialup or get DSL! But we found this DSL provider that you can get locally w/o having phone service through the usual Ameritech... we get a cheap DSL modem on egay for 40 bucks... it comes in the mail and we call up to get DSL hooked up... the only way they do it is with a 1 year contract! AHHHHHHHH... we're only in the apt. for the summer.
So here it is mid-June and I finally had to break down and call Ameritech (which I hate) and sign up for a phone service we aren't going to use except to dial-up into and just leave it connected. Its so frustrating... and using the internet at work just doesn't cut it.
Sorry I'm done now.
