NEW COMPUTER!

[tnyhwk900]

Yep, that's right, I'm finally on my brand new self built computer. And it is sooooo fast despite costing around $500 overall. Specs:

AMD Athlon XP 2600+
Corsair 512 MB PC3200 ram
Abit NF7-S mobo
Radeon 9600 video card
80 gig Samsung SATA HDD (I did 80 because I was short on money)
NEC 8X DVD burner
Win XP Home

Lets put it this way: AIM installed in 5 seconds. XD

I'll post pics later.

RE: NEW COMPUTER!

Get 512 more RAM... get the 64 bit Athlon... get another hard drive, preferably 120... video card should be fine...

If you think that's fast, I shudder to think what your old one was like.

I'm going to upgrade to a gig later, I'd have to buy a completely new mobo for the 64, and I'll buy another HDD when I need it.

And yes, you do shudder to think what it was. 2.4 Celeron (128K CACHE~) with 256 MB PC2100. And integrated graphics with a 40 gig HDD.

And my whole family uses it.

RE: Re: RE: NEW COMPUTER!

Congrats dude. How long ago was it when you said you wanted to build one? A year, I'm guessing, all the wait was worth it wasn't it?

RE: Re: RE: NEW COMPUTER!

I need a computer. I use the "family" computer because my dad thinks technology is the devil and we should be outside working all day every day and any more than two hours a day on the computer is too much and ok I'm done know.

I'm guessing those are nice specs but I don't know what half of it means.

I custom built mine last August.. so it's a bit outdated now...

Abit NF7-S MoBo
Radeon 9800 Pro
1 Gig Ram (Corsair xms 2800s or something I forget)
80 GB Western Digital
Athlon 2600+ (2.08 Ghz - sucks now but it's ok :P)
LITE-ON LTR 8x Burner
19" NEC LCD Multisync (It's really nice ^^)
Logitech mx510 mouse & logitech keyboard, logitech surround sound speakers, logitech quickcam (webcam) :O
Cost me about $800-900 without the monitor which was about $500-550, but keep in mind this was well over a year ago.

corsair ram is aweseme im running dual 512 sticks of the xms proseries its so good

[hydrojakep]

Is it hyro's old one?

[QreepyBORIS]

I need a better video card. Problem is its a Dell computer, owned by the University, technically. So there is NO way I can install one legally.

[Squeek]

512 ram is not enough for anything now. It's about the minimum requirement for new games.

80gb storage? You really need that boosted. I filled a 160 in two weeks. Considering RAIDing in a 300.
