Well folks, its a new blog. Mainly around getting my new computer... well... yeah, mostly about that.

Lifes been good, been grand. Shouts out to EightBit for his Mom's, glad she's okay dude.

So heres the deal, I had my last computer for 2 years... slightly over that. Here were the Spec's.

* Denotes Original Prefab Parts

Dell C521
*Dell Branded nVidia nForce 430 6150LE Motherboard w/ PCI-E 2.0
*AMD Sempron 3400+ Socket AM2, @ ~1.8GHz    Overclocked too ~2.2GH
*(2)
[Place wacky Chinese Company Here] DDR2 533MHz 256MB RAM (1)[Some Random Company bought at Staples Here] DDR2 667MHz 1GB RAM
*ATi Radeon X1300 128MB, then to nVidia GeForce 7300GS 256MB w/ Turbocache (so it ran like it had 512MB), then to nVidia GeForce 9600GT OC 512MB w/ Turbocache (so it ran like it had 1GB)
*Hitachi 7200RPM 70GB sATA HD
*Panasonic DVD-ROM Drive
*280W Dell PSU

The Case is a Dell C521 BTX Form Factor Case (now mutilated from having put ATX-Sized Parts into it)


AND NOW WHAT I'M RUNNING IS

Stry8993 Custom Edition
ASUS M3N78 Pro w/ Hybrid SLi   ~ nVidia nForce 750 Chipset w/ onboard GeForce 8300
AMD Phenom 64 X3 8750 Black Edition Socket AM2+ (each core is 2.4GHz, Tri-Core, 2MB L3 Cache)
(2) Mushkin DDR2 800MHz 1GB RAM
BGF Tech nVidia GeForce 9600GT Overclocked Edition 512MB w/ Turbocache (so it runs like it has 1GB)  '-Was in the old Dell'
Hitachi 7200RPM 70GB sATA HD (will be replaced by a Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB 7200RPM)
Panasonic DVD-ROM Drive (will be replaced by LG Blu Ray & HD-DVD RW Drive)
Corsair TX 750W PSU

The Case is a an Antec Nine Hundred Advanced Gaming Case



I'll update with some Pictures once I find my damn cell phone.

I'm not exactly trying to brag, but if you remember how dire straights I was in way back when on GS, I think you guys will be proud to see that I've been kicking ass, and taking names.

And honestly, I couldn't have done it without your support, in the way of pay pal, of friendship, of kind words, and encouragement. Its been a long road guys. Thanks. And sorry EightBit, I didn't buy a PS3/360.... I know. Beat me later.

You finally put the big computer thing together! That explains where you have been hiding the past two days, deep inside the caverns of your secret hardware lab, YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING TO PREPARE ME FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THE SUPER COMPUTATIONAL GAMECABINET.:P
