Last week, I bought a Hitachi 400GB SATA3 hard drive and a (i think)LG SATA DVD-burner. Yeah! Serial-ATA frenzy!. I have 4 SATA connectors untouched in my poor old motherboard, so, its time to utilize the power of Southbridge to the max!.

Haha, to keep things short, last 2 months, my room's power connector suddenly goes black. The 4 plug adapter behind the CPU kept making some weird noise till one day, I saw smokes xD. It was like this:


Hehe.. The plastic inside of the plug melts!.

Here's a list of things that needs power from the main power point of my room:

- Fan
- 2.1 Altec Lansing Speaker
- Power hungry overclocked CPU
- UHF antenna
- VHF antenna
- ADSL Router Modem
- HP Printer
- Sony Ericsson charger
- Playstation 2
- Old TV
- Wireless Router

- 4-switch cable extensions
- 2 AVRs

These things should be sufficient to be the main cause of any electrical damages in my house, as well as the main contributor of the overwhelming electrical bill. In addition, my PC stays on and online for (merely) 24/7.

I've been on alternative power supply (I stole some power bandwidth from my lil bro's main power point) for nearly 2 months.

Last week (Monday I think), I bought a new power point and installed it on myself. Its a bit risky, but, its my room anyways. I'm not expecting some other guy to install the stupid power plug other than me.

Anyway, lets talk about networking.

This is my house's new networking plan:



I am forced to revamp the house's networking plan because of some certain things I cant evade it anymore. In these few days of network testing, I found myself in an advantageous position when using this router. I mean, the Aztech DSL router.



Here is my final verdict based on the current network plan:

D-Link wireless router modem sucks.



However: I miss college. Yeah, I'm missing it alot. I felt like stepping down from Maybank almost everyday, but I've made a promise on someone I will assist that person to acquire a new PC.

Did I get the point wrong? Or I just left out the word 'financially'?.



Blah blah.. nothing to talk much here. Everything is going as planned. Except, I miss Siti alot. We havent chat for quite some time already. Gwahhh..


Before I end this blog post, this is the picture I wanted to share with you guys.
* I took it @college
