// parts
i went ahead and bought some new computer parts. this all started because i was debating on buying a new 5.1 speaker system for my computer. i can get a 100 system for pretty darn cheap thru circuit city, so i didn't wanna pass it up. this in turn lead me to think about my computer's sound capabilities. i wanted to use the 5.1 for is max potential, so i opted to buy a new sound card. thinking about the sound card made me remember about my scsi card needing to be upgraded. thinking about my scsi card got me to think about my noisy scsi hard drives. this in turn made me think about my noisy and monstrously huge case. i bought a new case. so the stuff i bought was:

ordered
hercules fortissimo III 7.1 sound card - $43
lsi logic u160 scsi controller - $45
antec slk3700amb tower case - $68
pending
altec lansing alc 251 5.1 speaker system ~ $65

yeah.. :) sung is going to end up getting my old speakers, cd burner and scsi card outta this deal. trickle down upgrades.
