Holy shit, guys. My step-dad just showed me his latest Popular mechnicacs magazine. There's a contest to win a computer worth over $7500 fucking dollars! It's fucking awesome!
Software: PM's work hard/play hard combo pack: Doom 3 ($40); Half life 2 ($55); Microsoft Office ($500); Adobe Creative Suit and Video Collection ($2728)
Case Silverstone TJ06 Windtunnel ($139)--it's grey with blue lights inside and a glass side window. Plus extra fans.
CPU The New AMD Athlon 64 FX-55--runs at 2.6Ghz ($827 fucking dollars!)--These suckers are new and fucking hard to get! They're awesome. We just got a couple of the lower grade 64s at work.
Motherboard: ASUS A8n SLi Deluxe ($265): Badass nervous system for a badass CPU
ram/memory: Four Corsair Twinx 512mg (#137 each)--This is the GOOD shit! We have to special order this stuff at work!
SATA Hard drives: Two 74bg 10k RPM Western Digital Raptors ($240 each) + two 300bg 7.2k RPM Maxtors ($250 each) + one 400gb 7.2l rpm seagate ($387)--That's over a terabyte of fucking storage people. Holy shit. Just the hard drives cost more than it did when I built my fucking computer.
graphics cards: Two nVidia 6800 Ultras ($500)--holy shit! Two of these btiches!
optical drive: NEC ND-3500A duel-layer, dual-format DVD writer with 48x cdrw ($100)--OK, DVD burner = cool, but I'll add it to my drives
