Woe is me!

I impulsively went to Microcenter to look for upgrades for my linux desktop, since that was my bribe for myself. It looks like the spare processors I was going to use are old enough that I can't use them with a new motherboard, so I didn't think I'd get out of there for less than $150 (motherboard, processor, and power supply--I have RAM and other parts). Woe!

On the other hand, perhaps Microcenter isn't the best place to do this. (Funny how whenever I'm looking at pre-built boxen I can't get the salesboyz to leave me alone, but when I'm looking at components I can't get their attention.) I think I need to go to a real computer part store instead.
