I'm getting somewhat of a bad feeling about my computer. It's been functioning a bit slower as of late, and some oddities have developed. Most notably, my audio becomes scratchy occasionally after reviving the computer from sleep mode. In general, response time has become somewhat halted; I'm not sure if that's due to computer age or to Windows Vista suddenly hogging more memory than usual. To be fair, the majority of components in my computer are more than two years old, with my sound card being even older (it was a legacy carryover from my previous desktop, which survived three years) and my backup internal hard drive and the graphics card being the only newer pieces.
All in all, though, it may be time to do an overhaul sometime in the winter...for the first time in a long time, I looked at computer parts and pondered how a new configuration would look. While I do enjoy my case a great deal, not all of the fans works, and I think it'd be better to go with a case that had more airflow (read: bigger fans) or had water cooling (probably not, as it's beyond my technical expertise and comfort level to set it up on my own). It's all fun thoughts...for the time being...
