close calls

suddenly, out of the blue, the GPU-board (fancy name, hu?) fan made strange noises and that always means trouble is on its way. tried to get a replacement fan, but my attempts were in vain. no GPU fans in stock. darn. luckly the failing fan made those strange noises otherwise i wouldn’t have noticed it.
my paper is now two days behind the anticipated schedule, but i am going to catch up and try to finish it in time as soon as the new geforce fx 5900 (yeah!) arrives. (that should be tomorrow at noon the case!) i simply can’t concentrate due to the noise of the makeshift fans.
