New Computer Finally!

Posted by Ken at 3/01/2007 02:26:00 PM
My new computer is finally put together! It's been a sad month without a computer, but it is all worth it now!











The new box in all its glory


This machine just rocks!!! I can play Company of Heroes on the maximum settings with 4x anti-aliasing and 4x antrioscopic filtering! I am very pleased with my purchase!










The massive GeForce 8800 GTX video card


I know you all want to know the specs, so here you go:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Dual Core Processor 2.6 Ghz
RAM: 2x 1 GB Corsair XMS2 PC-6400 DDR2 memory modules
VIDEO: EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX with 768 MB DDR3 video memory
MAINBOARD: Foxconn C51XEM2AA- 8EKRS2H AM2 nForce 590 SLI motherboard
COOLING: Zalman CNPS9500 LED 92mm Cooling Fan
HARD DISKS: 2x WD1600 160 GB 16 MB cache hard disks in RAID 0
OS: Windows Vista Business x64

Windows Vista x64 runs awesome on this box! Windows Aero and Flip 3D never looked better! Microsoft seems to have done an amazingly good job on Vista overall. I am quite impressed with the capabilities of this operating system, especially when running on brand new hardware. I am very pleased with my new build! Now I'm going to spank everybody at the LAN parties! Muwahahahahah!

    I heard from kevin about this situation. It might be during the spring break. We might do a LAN Party during the day-time or an all-day LAN Party.

    Talk to the guys about this!! I don't know when but I know is it going to during spring break, probably on a Saturday of that week.
