So, it looks like I'm buying a new computer - finally! I hope everyone is interested in the stats, because I'm about to post them. :D
Processor: AMD XP2500+ (This is good because these not only are good fast processors, but have great overclocking capability)
Memory: 1GB DDR 400 Hynix (2x512MB Matched Pair)
Mainboard: MSI Delta-L
Cooling: 4xPanflo Fans, Vantec Fan Bus, Thermalright Heatsink
Video Card: ATI 9800 Radeon Pro 256MB
Case: AOpen H600 Black
Power Supply: Enermax 350W Dual Fan
CDRW: AOpen 52x24x52x Black
Hard Drives: 160GB WD Special Edition 7200 RPM 8MB Cache (2x80GB)
Sound: On Board
Speakers: Altec Lansing 5.1 Surround
Keyboard/Mouse: Logitech MX Cordless Duo
Software/Games: Win XP Pro, and a crapload of games and other software all included.
I dropped the monitor from the system because I'm just going to keep using the 19" I have right now, and save up for perhaps an LCD in the future. The total price is low: $1900. That's tax included.
I'm happy...so very happy, to finally be getting a new computer! woooooohoooo!!!

Damn, nice deal for that price. Kick ass man. Only one optical drive though?
I have those speakers, they're pretty kickin' for their price point.
At times I wish I would have just built my own, but I'm still very happy with the one I ended up getting.
Good call splitting your RAM into two sticks... take advantage of that dual RAM access feature on your mobo. I have 512 split that way in my system and let me tell you, it smokes.
You better damn well be playing Thief 3 with that machine. Also, you should probably just buckle and get the Warcraft 3 Battlechest. I suppose you also have to play Doom 3. Not that it's going to be that great (?), but it'll be a nice justification for having that beefy Radeon. In addition, Halflife 2 would be a nice showpiece should it come out before you buy your next machine.
Hell yeah dude! Man I can't wait to play Thief 3...and all the other games I'm having put on/will be purchasing. Thief, Call of Duty, UT 2004, Doom 3 etc etc. Tycho from PA was raving about Doom hey? Can't wait to give it a shot.
"Halflife 2 would be a nice showpiece should it come out before you buy your next machine."
lool, so true.
Hi, this is to your last blog. Keep on supporting Canadian Football. Don't be like other fans start something. Get the atmosphere up. Be the one man wrecking crew towards the other team
Rangers and Brighton 1 baby
