Ya, with that broken CD-rom, its hard to do much more than surfing the web, emailing... writting exams and watching some movies from the net...
In the meantime, I try to stay informed for my next purchase. I discovered directcanada.com a few months ago, as well as ncix.com. I find that the latter is much easier to navigate, but they have shipping fees, that's why I try to check when they have promos where some items give free shipping for entire order. That combined with their price matching policy makes them hard to beat. But generally directcanada is only a few buck pricier in this particular scenario, otherwise its plain and simply cheaper.
btw thanks for the comment on the sig... I wrote that about the PSU cuz I read somewhere that u could get the UL(I think?) on your PSU to know the real manufacturer. Well, I did, but apparently it was impossible to find it.
