Almost a week early. I thought, oh, cool, I'll just open it up now and help set it up, since I took the day off anyway since [instagram.com profile] sashagee wasn't feeling well and I needed to watch Laila.

Well, I cracked open the packaging, asked [instagram.com profile] sashagee to help me a bit since Laila's at school and get it out of the casing, and when I pulled it out I noticed there was condensation on the case. Oh, that's a bad sign, I said, and then when I opened up the case to take out the packaging they put on the inside I noticed there was condensation on the inside of the case, which is a really bad sign.

It did not post, of course. The CPU and RAM lights were both on on the motherboard, and when reseating the RAM didn't work I figured that if they can't send me a working computer I'll request a refund, so that's what I did. Just annoying that I have to walk through the snow with a 40 lb computer to the UPS store to ship it back.
