The Yesterday

Thursday, May 11th, 2006 | Stolen

So here’s a question for you:

Q: How much does a $7 cooling fan cost? …. Think you know the answer?

A: $367

If you are wondering how I came up with that answer, it’s because I discovered this to be the price today when I went to buy a fan from Fry’s Electronics (as big as 18 best buy’s) only to end up also buying a new power supply and a 500GB hard drive.

The real bitch of it is, I didn’t even get the fan I needed. I had to get a 3 wire fan instead of a 2 since they didn’t sell 2 wire fan’s, so I will have to do some sodering. This fan was the only reason I drove to fry’s yesterday.

On the way home amidst the heavy traffic I decided my break pads / rotors were shot so I also had to stop at auto zone and buy some replacements. I bought the cheapest crap they had but that was still $88. Oh well, I can do it myself for less than a mechanic can.
