Well, great.

Finally had a chance to set up the new computer tonight. Fussed with all the cords and got things settled the way I liked them, then hit the power button.

It sounded like a freakin' death rattle. Had to power off before it even booted up.

Something's rattling around in there, and I suppose the obvious culprit is a borked fan, so sadly it looks like I shall be standing in the awful post-holiday sales return lines tomorrow. What a fun way to spend my day off.

I have noticed that the lines at stores tend to be nil when they first open, even if they are packed a half hour after. You might have better luck getting straight in and out if you are there 5 mins before the doors open. Just a thought.

Hm, thanks. Getting up early is SO not my forte, but it might be worth it just to get in and back out. I just hope they actually have a replacement to give me; with the sales, I'm afraid they'll have to order one.

*winces* Well, fuck-a-doodle-do.

Bleurgh, how sucky. Hope it's easy to trade it.
