Time to bring my thread back!
Anyway I was able to snap some shots today of my new rig. All in all, I'm pretty happy I'm getting solid dual-core performance for around $700($830 after I get another gig of ram next week
).
Full Specs:
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 1.86GHz(stock)
- Intel DG965WH
- 1GB Corsair XMS PC6400 DDR2 RAM
- 160GB WD SATA Hard Drive
- eVGA GeForce 7900GS w/256MB GDDR3(PCI-e rulez
)
- LITE-ON DVD+/-RW w/Lightscribe etc.
- Acer AL1716 17" LCD
- Standard Microsoft KB and comfort mouse
Everyone has this case, but whatever. It looks clean, and even though it scratches, shows fingerprints/smudges, and is kinda heavy, I dig it. The adjustable speed fan in the back is great since I can't stand fan noise and always leave it on low. It doesn't sound like a tornado, it just kinda gently hums(except when the VGA fan kicks in.) I replaced the 450W PSU that came with it because of all the horrible reviews I read on newegg.com about how it died prematurely, some being DOA. The Mad Dog 430W PSU I got at work for $47 should hold me over for a while. Plus, it has blue LEDs in the back!
Anyway, enjoy and make sure you post anything new you might have added...I missed reading this thread.
