Computer Parts

This past week Little Kat's laptop overheated. We need this laptop working 24 x 7. Little Kat uses it for his homework. He used to have some external computer fans which kept the laptop cool. Little Kat said they broke.

Today we took a trip to Five and Below. They had a bunch of laptop cooling fans for $5. Little Kat chose one of them. We will see if it keeps his computer cool. Then Little Kat talked me into going to Best Buy. We went in search of computer parts to build a computer ourselves.

Everything seemed a bit expensive. They did not have any motherboards or CPUs. A guy who worked they told us they did not cater to computer builders like us. He referred us to New Egg on the web. We priced a bunch of hardware. Total cost would have been $320 without the CPU or motherboard. But we found some cool stuff for that price. Next stop is New Egg.
