Adventures in computing

I had fun tonight trying to fix up an old Sony VAIO PC. Its power supply died a while ago and I haven't had much time to work on it. Since tomorrow is a holiday, I decided to spend some time on it this evening. It was really, really dirty again, despite the fact that I cleaned it very thoroughly before we started using it last year.

Once the power supply died, I went in search of another. What a surprise...none of the power supplies would fit in my oddball VAIO case. I bought a new case with power supply. This one has a 24 pin connector and the motherboard only has a 20 pin connector.

Now I have to order a part and start this trek over again when I have more time. It should be fun.
