It all happens together

The last time I checked in I was talking about the computer being ordered. It arrived! Hurrah! Very stylish piece of kit... until... It kept switching itself off and rebooting time and time again. I wasn't fussy on sending it back as we'd go through the 'did you do this? Did you try that? Can you wrap it up and put it by for our delivery man to turn up somewhere between now and 2014? You know the gist. Anyway, I thought that it couldn't be too much of a problem so I did lots of research and came up with a faulty ram stick. I contacted the guy who supplied it, he agreed wholeheartedly. I took each one out in turn and all of a sudden it was working 'champion' once one stick in particular had been removed. I've just got to pop it into the post and he'll send me a replacement. Dead easy. Then... Martin went out for a day mooching about in Carlisle with his mate, Steve. When Mart came back, he mentioned something about a sound system that Steve was wanting to put onto Ebay. Of course, I've been sort of looking for something now I know what outputs the computer has. I gave him a ring and to my HUGE joy, it was exactly the system I'd been coveting but not wanting to pay full price for or buy off the internet. He did me a really good deal. Steve being Steve, I knew that they'd be in the same condition as he got them so I had no worries whatsoever about condition. Brill, I've got the Bose Acoustimass 5 series iii. Wonderful. Now, I'll have to get an amp to run it through. Researched again. They're expensive. Hmm, not this month. You know what I'm like. I thought 'well, you could be dead next month' so out to Peter Tyson's (a local electrical/audio/visual company). I got what I wanted with best part of £100 knocked off. Still cost me £200 mind so don't think it was bargain of the century. This evening I've been faffing around AGAIN. Wiring up here, wiring up there, moving this here to there and back again trying to get it all to fit. It looks pretty hysterical at present as there's a lot going on but it sounds absolutely fantastic. My next project is getting a video up on this blog of me playing. If you're really lucky I'll even take my gloves off!
