New Gaming ComputerMay 28, 2005Whoa, the last few days have been ultra-busy, especially juggling last week's NIH conference and research stuff. Anyway, in more pertinent news, I just purchased components for a new gaming machine! This is actually my first build, but I had a ton of help from blood-brother Kungfucius, who is the awesomest person ever ^_^ First off, here are the parts I ordered: PROCESSOR - AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 939 pin The grand total for all of this (with shipping) is $629, which is quite good -- I'll be migrating my old DVD burner, PATA hard drives, and HDTV monitor, so all said, I'm happy at the way things turned out. Just as a quick fyi, the following sites were quite useful in finding computer-part deals (ranked by usefulness)
In any case, besides all the computer's inconsequential technical details, the *real* question is at hand is . . . what shall I christen it? Kabitzin has me edging towards Kawachi or Sirius, but I need a name that reeks of angst and bile. |
