[108] Proofread My New Computer Specs

Posted by takua108 on Aug. 16, 2006, 5:44 a.m.

Like I said in earlier posts, I'm getting a job. As in, 75% chance of me getting this job I've been talking about.

So assuming I get $8.00 an hour (which is what I was told), work eight hours a day and five days a week, I'll get somewhere in the $1280 range (before the evil that is taxation) after a month.

This, of course, is sufficient for me to get an awesome new computer.

So for the past three hours or so, I've been shopping around NewEgg.com for good prices on pwnin' stuff. Below is the stuff I came up with, and I need any hardware wizards to check and make sure it's all compatable. I'm <i>pretty</i> sure it is, but I'd rather not be wrong. Also, I already have a hard drive, speakers, a monitor, and I'm assuming I can just use my current machine's power supply (because the case below doesn't come with one).

In the meantime, I need to figure out how to kill the nl2br() that 64D uses. Any ideas?

Umm… I know I'm a n00b, but what's nl2br? And why do you want to kill it?

It's a PHP function that converts line-breaks (i.e. you press <Enter> in your blog somewhere) into < br / >'s. This sounds good, but it messes up your format if you do cool HTML stuff in your blog, and in order to make it look right you often have to put multiple lines on one line. Look at Halibutski's latest blog.

I hate nl2br. I echo'd it and it worked, but then it went a bit spaz (in my news CMS).

So I just used str_replace and boom, it worked perfectly.
