Geekness
I've been playing with my new computer. Due to the new motherboard, I had to reinstall Windows so I've been doing that while working and "playtesting" the new hardware.
Here's what I've got so far:
Antec Nine Hundred case
eVGA NF68 680i Motherboard
Intel Kentsfield Q6600 w/Zalman Fatal1ty HSF
2 GB DDR2-667 SDRAM
BFG 8800GTX 768MB vid card
SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro
BFG 1000W PSU
74 GB 10K RPM Raptor (boot)
400 GB, 300 GB, 250 GB SATA drives for misc storage
Here's the stuff waiting for me when I got home from the Bay Area on Tuesday:
The 750W PSU on top of the case was DOA (dead on arrival) so I had to send it back. I decided to upgrade the PSU now so that I'm ready when I want to add a 2nd 8800GTX for SLi hawtness.
