Building a wood PC case on a budget

          After running a much-loved-but-aging desktop with a GTX 660 and a CPU over a decade old, it was finally time for an upgrade.  I got a great deal on a desktop with a middle-aged i5 and an AMD RX 580 graphics card - still nothing top shelf, but doubling the cores and over doubling the graphics processing power is nothing to scoff at.  

          Problem is, it might have had the speed, but it didn't have any style (that, and it sounded like a 747 about to take flight in my bedroom).  Buying a better case and fans was the obvious choice, but this seemed like an opportunity to be unnecessarily thrifty and add some personality to the build.

Random Band Name Generator Program

          A few months back, I compiled and posted a few lists of words of various sorts, over 10,000 of them all in all.  Shortly afterwards, I started putting them to use in various Mad-Libz style generators.  Now, I'm far from an expert coder (I've only taken two courses), so it's little more than some simple Java random functions in a choice framework, but eventually I'll get around to porting a Javascript or HTML version so you good people of the internet can take advantage of it as well - if anyone shows any interest, that is :)

          The result was a remarkably fun and even possibly almost useful band name generator that can spit out a couple thousand ideas per second; a bit faster than you can review them, at any rate.

I've recently gotten into computer programming and was looking to create a wild "Mad Libs" type of word generator.  Maybe you're looking to do something similar, maybe you're training word generators, or maybe you have some other higher calling necessitating some large unformatted lists of words - I ain't going to judge.

However, I didn't find it as easy as hoped to get some convenient lists of words sorted by type, so after assembling a few collections of my own, I figured I might as well share them and save you the trouble!
