Greetings from my new badass machine
Well, parts of it anyway...
I normally don't spend that much money, so most of what I earn goes into savings or to pay off the interest on my college loans...but earlier this semester a power surge left my laptop unusable for a few weeks (I had to send it back to Dell to be fixed) and I realized just how dependent on computer I am.
So, I decided to do something a little earlier than I had planned - build a new computer
With Christmas right around the corner, I knew that any extra cash I needed would become available soon, and my parents who are always stumped on what to get me had some new things to add to their list.
What I have so far is my KDS 17" Flat Panel Monitor, Seagate 120GB HD, and a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse/Wireless 108 Button Keyboard (using them all through my laptop, of course)
Yet to come is...
- Athlon XP 2000+ 1.67 GHz 266FSB
- Infineon PC2700 DDR333 512MB
- CREATIVE LABS Samsung 16x DVD ROM
- SONY CDRW 52X24X52
- 64MB GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 4X DUAL VGA NV72
- X-GEAR Beige 350wt w/ USB Ports (6)
Should have it up and running by the new year
Just in time for Winter and Spring Sessions
