New Build, It was time to replace the Pentium D box I put together in June of )^ (talk about bad timing...):
Processor: Intel I7-860 Quad Core MB: ASUS P7P55D Deluxe Memory: G Skill DDR3 1600 8Gb Video: H.I.S. Radeon HD 5770 1Gb DDR5 Case: LanCool K58W Power Supply: Cooler Master 600W Silent Pro Hard Drives: WD Black 750 GB x 2 Raid 1 WD Black 1Tb Seagate 640 Gb (This is the one drive I moved from my last build) WD Green 1Tb (external) Optical Drives: LG 22x DVD Burners x 2 Mouse: Logitech G500 Keyboard: Logitech Illuminated Keyboard Windows 7 Home Premium
There's also the obligatory GD stealie sticker as well...
Everything went together with no problems. This PC is fast, quiet and it doesn't use a lot of juice. I have to say I love the LanCool (I think they're Lian Li's budget brand) case. There is lots of room, the tool less bits all work as claimed and cable management is a breeze. -- Team Discovery »lonls.wordpress.com/ »mysite.verizon.net/vze3jq4f/ »lonls.livejournal.com/ |

 beerbumobscurum per obscuriusPremium join:2000-05-06 Eastern PA 1 edit | reply to dragon My Christmas present to myself:
I-INC iH-282HPB 28" Widescreen Active Matrix TFT Display
»www.i-inc-usa.com/Product/iH282hpb.htm
Now I need to rearrange things in order to get a new desk so's to have more desktop space then I can use my old 24" as a secondary. Too bad the 28" doesn't have remote control capability as it would be perfect to use as a regular TV.

 8800GTS 640MB (G80) vs 5870
I thought the 8800GTS 640 was HUGE three years ago. Year after year manufacturers keep moving the bar up on size. |
