Is it the blood? Or the portable? Or is it the confidence?

:ashamed:
It's not something I' hated for or anything, it's just painful at times, and sometimes takes down my super high self-confidence.
If someone is going on about it, and insulting me, usually I beat the ever living flax out of them, and then no one talks about it anymore. They don't mess with me if I show them who's boss.
Sure, I get in trouble, but it's not bad when you had something to fight for.

This one isn't worth pictures, but I've been cleaning and fixing up an old laptop (Averatec 3200 series). Its fan was noisy as Heck, so I voided the laptop's warranty and cleaned it out. While I was at it, I cleared out TONS of dust from the radiator, which was blocking air from the fan from getting to it. It runs a bit more smoothly now, and I've cleared up the HD by uninstalling unnecessary programs and startup nonsense that I don't need.
The case itself has been given a serious scrub-down, too. Got every trace of grime off the thing, and I took off the annoying stickers that companies seem to love tossing on. Oh, and I sanded down the protective plate for the RAM. The paint came off (with a Heck of a struggle) and revealed the aluminum or whatever metal it is. Sanding scratched the metal quite a bit, but I like the effect. I may wind up sanding the rest of the laptop's metal parts for the same effect.
Assuming I even get to keep this thing, I plan on looking into upgrading the RAM. I heard someone's managed to install a 1GB stick into this brand/model. Oh, and I may be skinning this thing. Not sure what its theme will be, or whether or not I'll spraypaint its case. All I know is that the dull grey look needs to go. :/

Got Puppy Linux booting properly on the laptop, so now I've got an OS for the thing that doesn't take an hour to boot. >_>
Also, I finally got my gamebit in the mail today. Cracked open my N64s and switched around their cases. Now I have two half-black, half-purple N64s. I like the one with the purple top and black buttons myself.
I'll probably be using one of them for a portable eventually, so I may wind up selling one of the cases. Not sure which, though.
Oh, and for some reason I feel like stroking my ego: My PC is a HP Pavilion M8400F (AMD Phenom Quad Core 9500 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 720 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium) with an added NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT video card instead of the crappy 8500 that comes with the computer.
