You should all be happy to learn that I have finally ordered a set of hinges for my DuctTapeDell(tm). With a little luck, I might get around to installing them sometime in the next couple of months...

Foxconn A7GM-S
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+
4GB Patriot RAM
200GB Seagate/30GB Samsung (SATA II/I)
nVidia GeForce 8600GT because I'm too cheap to upgrade
Windows Vista HP X64
Also, its beige. Yes, that silly color everyone wants to get rid of. Am I crazy for missing the beige boxes?
Nothing special about my Acer laptop beyond Windows 7 and its sluggishness regardless of what OS it has.

Just got my ol' junker back on it's feet...sort of. The hinges I bought weren't the right ones, but with a bit of Yankee Ingenuity I made 'em (mostly) work.
