Welp, about an hour ago, one of my dual monitors just completely up and died out. First the screen glitched to hell, and then it completely burned out, I can't even get the thing to turn on anymore in any way.
And just to make things worse, it was my main monitor, the larger one that had the speakers built into it. So now I have no sound except through my headphones, which gets very painful to wear for long periods of time.
Focused on paying rent for this month, I can't afford to spend any of what I have right now for a new monitor. No, this doesn't actually stop me from getting any work done, but it does make my life significantly more difficult P.C. wise.
I'm going to see if any of my roomies have a spare I can borrow when they wake up, otherwise I'm fucked for a while, or at least until I can raise money for a new/used one from somewhere.
*sigh*
UPDATE 1: So it turns out my roomies can't help me with a spare monitor. however one of them did have a pair of external speakers I could borrow, so I at least have sound back. That's something.
UPDATE 2: So we went to Goodwill, and it turns out that they did have used monitors, but none compatible with my PC without an adapter, which they didn't have any of. Uuuuuughhhhh.
