Mine is getting ready to kick, you can tell by the sounds it's making. ='[

Dell Dimension 2400 desktop
Intel Celeron 2.4GHz
768mb RAM
80GB harddrive
Creative Sound blaster live ed.

The video card is some crappy built in thing and the cd/dvd drives are both near shot. meaning, when I stick a cd in I have to restart the computer before it will read it without freezing up.)

It has a crappy floppy drive that tends not to work.
Most of the USB plugs on the back panel got shot a while back.



My computer is getting ready to bite the dust.
But man, this thing has run for four years with me putting God knows how much pressure on it.

I love it dearly.
But I do need a new machine.


I'm looking at one like this:

Intel 2 Quad Core 2.4GHz
4GB RAM
nVidia Geforce 9800GX2 x2(Crossfire/SLI)
120GB harddrive
CD/DVD/DVD-DL Burner
Apevia X-Dreamer ATXB3KLW case
Creative Sound Blaster


^^^$1909

Someday....someday...

Nvidia is always SLI, ATI is Crossfire.

Just making sure there aren't people out there buying SLI bridges for ATI cards and what not.

Any reason for only a 120GB HDD? 3.5" HDD SATA-300 750GB 32MB Doesn't cost alot anymore.

Oh, certainly. I know I once bought some ram that totally didn't fit. Made me a tad bit unhappy. I would hate to go and throw some cash into something that wouldn't go, something that expensive, lol.
Would suck. haha.

Well, It doesn't cost a lot but I was willing to sacrifice a little harddrive space for the upgrading of some other things. Plus I have a 250GB backup drive.
Kind of one of those marketing schemes ya know?
Marketing my need for a new computer to my mother and playing up the fact I sacrificed the functionality of one part that wasn't needed in the hopes she will see the fact that I didn't go for the biggest baddest machine possible.

Which, with this computer build guy, would have been with 1TB drive, dual monitors, and such unnecessary things.

I've lasted out the last 4 years on an 80gb harddrive so I think I'm fine.

Windows Vista bus. 64 Bit
Intel i7 920 processor 2.66 ghz (gunna overclock soon possibly, I'll probably just go up to 3 ghz, but right now my first core is running at 2.66 while the others run at 2.25 so I might just set them all to 2.66 ghz)
Evga x58 motherboard (e-leet utility)
6 gigs of ddr3 1333 mhz
xfx geforce gtx 260 896 mb ram (overall, I have 2.9 gigs of vram shared)
Monsoon 3 lt cpu cooler (this things huge, about the size of a large power supply)
1 TB western digital hard drive

Just built it today, vista 64 bit is actin funny tho, I already dislike it.
The cooler was a pain to install, barely fit.
However, my pc started up first time no problem.
