New Beginnings, and a new Toy

Posted on October 28, 2008 by jaypoc

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.

    Sounds like a nice computer. All you need is a printer, and you should be all set! (Everytime I’ve been out there, we’ve needed to print something, so yea…)

    Glad to see you back on LJ. I, too, decided I needed a place to vent, hence I started using my account again. If you haven’t already, don’t forget to add me as a friend.

    Take care, have a good weekend and I’ll ttys! <3

    The sad thing is, there’s 3 printers here. 1 $3,000 network printer which will probably cost me $200 to get Xerox to come look at. a HP Laserjet printer which probably works (but most likely needs a toner cartridge) which a friend gave em that I haven’t even tried yet, and a HP all-in-one Scanner/Printer which works sometimes. I think it only needs authentic HP ink. I bought aftermarket ink and it didn’t work so I don’t wanna invest in new ink for a possibly dead printer (A new printer costs less than the ink!)

    Eventually, I will get one. Microcenter has a bunch for $30 – $60, I may pick up one of those.
