It seems like it’s been forever since I’ve updated my blog, so I figured now was as good a time as any. I’m in the process of cleaning my home and re-organizing my life a bit so I’d like to start up the blog some more. Maybe even give it some direction. I have so many interests that I might even start up a few sections. We’ll see. I’ll make this my new years resolution. New Blog, New Website and starting today, a new computer 😉
I just ordered it from NewEgg for about $750. Here’s the specs:
- Intel Core 2 Duo 3.16 Ghz Processor (The beefy E8500 Wolfdale)
- Gigabyte P45 Motherboard (GA-EP45-UD3P)
- 512 MB GeForce 9600 256 bit Video Card (Gigabyte GV-NX96T512H)
- 4 GB High-performance Memory (2x2GB G.Skill 240-Pin DDR2 1066/PC28500)
- 1 TB 7200 RPM Hard Drive (Samsung Spinpoint F1, 7200 RPM, 32MB Cache, SATA 3.0Gb/s)
- Samsung Dual Layer DVD Burner (DVD+-R/RW/DL/LightScribe)
- 500 Watt Power Supply (PC Power and Cooling PPCS500)
- Windows Vista Home Premium (OEM)
And before anybody gives me any slack about putting Vista on the system, It’s time that I learn it! It’s been out a year and I can probably clock about 3 hours on Vista PCs. If it doesn’t meet my needs, I have a fresh XP disc ready to go.
