When the nephew asked for some Tornado Headgears for Christmas – I said to them – ” say what?” and did a double take hahah! silly aunt here – the nephew must be thinking. Well, I did find out that the Headgears were for wrestlers – duh! and I should have known for the nephew had been taking wrestling from a local club here for 2 years now. I had even gone to see his mini-tournaments last year and followed him to practices when his parents were too busy to chauffeured him around.
Anyhow, we did managed to find him his headgears and also some wrestling shoe skin and a motivational dvd for Christmas. I don’t know why he loves wrestling this much – but he was definitely a very happy boy on Christmas morning.

Yes! the disc repair machine arrived from the States today and poorer by $2000 after paying for HST here and custom to UPS – it’s all ready to go. So the spouse played around with it – to see how it works and then showed me how easy it was – that even I can do it without waiting for him to come back and work on the customer’s disc.
This machine can repair even the most minor scratches and can do your DVDs and game disc and usually only takes 30 seconds to get your disc repaired with just a push of the button.
No messy sticky stuff to put onto the disc – because the solution is on the bad of the machine and does it own thing. You don’t even need to wipe the disc down after you put it in the machine – unlike our old and bulky machine we bought from Movie Gallery when they closed it’s door. This machine is called the Eco Pro and the spouse came back to say it was definitely worth buying the machine in the evening and no messing around like the old one.
I’ve always envied those who knows html & CSS because they can build their own website from scratch – and to learn how to do stuff like that – one can go to school for it and pay tons of money and waste a lot of time. Last year, I helped a local business with building his website for his restaurant – but because I don’t know the html stuff – I was unable to do it correctly – but as a blog style. I really don’t think that it looked professional enough.
But with an online website builder , one can build their own website professionally and at a reasonable cost. What if you are too busy? or you already have a site but want to transfer the old site to the new ones? Well, people at this web building site can help you do that too – plus they host the website for you with 99.95% up time and they do all back-ups for you from their very own stand alone server based in Las Vegas.
So if you own a business – like ourselves – I would check it out for they also offer 24/7 support and give the ordinary people like me and you – SEO tips and marketing tools as well. So no need for all those html jargon and know hows – you can proudly say – you build your own website. Pretty cool eh! and it’s free to try it out till you are satisfied and pay only when you go live – no harm trying it out eh.
2 video cards and 3 hard drives and a 1000W power supply – now this is what I called the ultimate gaming system but it’s not ours – it belongs to a customer – and this thing is a monster! hhehe! I know the spouse would love to get something like that but for $7K – $8K for this beast – he has gotta hold his horses – after all, we have employees and a store to take care of eh.
We do sell power supply for your computers but they are normally between 350W and 550W – so when you see a computer come into the store with 1000W and it’s a Corsair – you will know that the customer is a gamer and a die hard one. This beast could easily cost about $200 or more while normal power supply is between $45 – $65 but you pay for what you get and it was a really quiet computer – even though the computer itself was a monster too. HX1000W main cooling system is 14cm fan, comes with thermal control, fan speed and noise is very low when loading is light. The noise is acceptable when heavy loading. HX1000W fan comes with high quality CORSAIR mark board. An interesting eye opener for me – the customer paid about $6K for this machine – a few months ago.
We see many computers come in and out of our store for repair – but recently a high end one came into our store for reformatting. So when the spouse opened the case – and showed me this huge case fan – i was quite amused. You see usually the fans are used inside the computer – but this one has a huge one for the casing as well. I see our customer really did spend a lot of money on it – this computer in total cost a good chunk of money – can you guess how much?
