Yah its been ages since I last posted here, I know. Well I don't consider myself a "blogging" kind of person, and I seldom visit LJ either. :X
Anyways I just 'hooted' $1.5k on a new home PC yesterday, to replace my ageing 6 & 1/2 yr Pentium III setup. Intended usage: gaming, photo editing, digital photo storage, perhaps also running Office applications as well as Net surfing. Parts all acquired from Sim Lim Sq. Wallet feels so much lighter now. :(
Here's my new rig:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 (2.13GHz stock speed)
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (motherboard)
Corsair Value RAM 2 GB 667 (2 X 1GB sticks)
Xpertvision GF7900GS 256MB PCie (graphics/display card)
Seagate 320GB + 160GB Hard Disk Drives (SATA 2/7200rpm)
Integrated floppy drive cum card reader (internal)
Silverstone Strider 560W Power Supply Unit (PSU)
Cooler Master 534 mid tower Casing (black)
Dell keyboard + Razor Habu gaming mouse (coming soon hopefully!)
19" Fujitsu Widescreen monitor
Total damage: approx $1865 :~~
Now its all in bits and pieces waiting to be assembled at a friend's place. I can't wait! :D
On a side note, the Net has been slow lately...especially oseas websites. Strange.
Will try to post pics once my new setup is installed. Prolly in a week's time?
