    I went to best buy today, needed a new DVD driver. Damn is for good damn and bad damn.
    Good Damn: BestBuy.com said 30, they said 50. They also said they would match the price of their website. IT WAS A TYPO! Got it 20 bucks cheaper!
    Bad Damn: Its SATA, my computer is only capable of IDE:cry Hasta return it.

    But oh well, good day:)

    "Mom, the IDE controller doesnt match the SATA port on the dvd drive. Also the ip address of the gateway wont let me buy a different drive because RIPv1 doesnt allow VLSM, because it doesnt pass the subnet mask through its routing updates! I need a new computer!"

    Trust me, itll work.

    Surely you should've known it was IDE before buying? Epic noob failure!

    That is a pretty epic noob failure zdawg you've been here for two years now.:-D

    Get a plain business card and draw round a sata connector,then draw round an IDE connector,label them IDE and SATA.

    Laminate,then put on your keyring.

    Despite the 'Epic N00B Failure' nature of that purchase, of course you could always use that as an excuse to upgrade your mobo. ;)
    - Then again, maybe not - you'll 'prolly end up buying a Commodore 64 mainboard on the cheap, or something.LOL
