Earlier in 2008 I picked up a printer. We had one just like it at work and it had functioned really well. Fast, responsive, good quality, etc. The one I got never worked quite right. It had problem after problem. Driver issues, power problems, and it would print insanely slowly. Well, after a complete cock-up of replacing an ink cartridge there is blue (read: cyan) ink every where. So the printer is finally so completely unusable that I had to get a new one.

Enter newegg.com. I love newegg. They sell me things I want at really good prices and get them to me very quickly. As we speak my new printer is whisking it's way across the US to find me. I had looked at the various options for printers and came to the conclusion that toner was only marginally more expensive per purchase than ink, and (I didn't actually do this math) probably cheaper per page. So I found a good color laser printer, and hit the buy button, but not before picking up a cheap video card upgrade as well. My current card has been showing it's age, and I had been waiting to get a job before picking up a new one. At $89 it was a good buy, and I'll probably get a second one to hook up in SLI before too long (at that price? yeah).
