So my brother called today, and as we were talking we got on the subject of computers. I know many of you know about my current computer status, but not everyone does. So I decided to post something! (Plus I've been a slacker here for a month..) So I've put some pictures in the gallery, so check them out as well.
So now I'm running dual monitors. I love it. It took me about a day to get completely used to it, but now I don't know what I'd do without it. They are both 19" flat screen CRT's running at 1600x1200. So my new computer consists of:
- Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
- AMD Athlon64 3500+ (Cooled by my trusty Zalman 7000 Copper CPU fan)
- 2GB Corsair XMS Ram (CAS 2 latency)
- 2 eVGA nVidia 6800GT 512MB PCI-Express 16x video cards running in SLI mode (when gaming as SLI will only work with one monitor)
- Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS with I/O Drive (Soon to be replaced with an X-Fi once I get a black faceplate for my old Live! I/O Drive)
- Promise ATA133 Controller card
- 2 120GB Western Digital ATA hard drives
- 1 200GB ATA hard drive (Video)
- 1 40GB ATA hard drive (MP3's)
- NEC 3500 16X DVD+-RW
- Pioneer 4X DVD+-RW
- Antec TruePower 550 (custom sleeved by me)
- Lian Li PC60B-Plus case
So that's everything that is in there. I got this new system as one of my buddies needed to raise some cash, so he sold his gaming machine to me. The only things I had previously that a put in this machine are the hard drives, optical drives, controller card, and sound card. I did get a new case though. Needed something black. Take a look at the pics in the gallery to see just how black it is!
