Three Days. // Awarded.

Posted by Firebird on Dec. 6, 2006, 2:37 a.m.

Finally, the end of the school year is here. I don't have to wake up before 12 for another 7 weeks or so. The Christmas holidays are so long here. Well, the summer holidays.

It's three days until Saturday the first day of the holidays, and, of course, the 9th, which means all my computer parts arrive and I start building. Here's a quick recap of the specs -

CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz (Conroe)

RAM - 2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 RAM 800

GFX Card - XFX nVidia GeForce 8800GTS 500MHz 640MB PCI-E

HDD(s) - Western Digital CAVIAR SE16 320GB 7200RPM SATAII 3.5in HDD (x2)

Case - NZXT LEXA-Classic ATX Mid Tower (No PSU)

PSU - Antec Trio 580w

Monitor - ASUS PG191 19 inch Built-in: Webcam, Subwoofer, Touch-pad, Stereo speakers

Keyboard - Logitech G15 (15 programmable keys, backlight keys, LCD display)

Mouse - Logitech G7 (2000dpi laser)

OS - Dualboot: Windows XP Pro and SimplyMEPIS 6.0

Unconfirmed motherboard name (bought by my friends at the computer shop though, I trust them)

Unconfirmed CD/DVD drive (same as above)

We couldn't get the HDDs, so we had to skimp out and buy better ones. We also found some ram that was 25% faster than the original decision, so we got that. We being me and the guys at the computer shop, who are getting the stuff from wholesalers and warehouses.

I won some medals today and a trophy. The trophy was for winning the Junior Championships for debating, and the medals were for various academic achievements. I missed the award presentation night though, so I got them later.

Keep L337,

Firebird out!

[Merry Christmas]

P.S. Computer image dump!

Yeah =D!

Oops, I just notice the image of the gfx card is the GTX. Oh well, it pretty much looks the same. just imagine it says 'GTS' instead.

This is the awesome keyboard. I've been wanting one over a year now - its still in concept.

Bwahaha I have a G15 too :) It's damned sweet for playign music while in full-screen applications; it displays the current song info on the LCD.

There's only one problem with my G15 so far, the goddamn M1-3 buttons at the top left get stuck sometimes.

*cry* I want a new PC sooo badly… and I want to build it.

No offence MrPacman, but those keyboards don't have all the features of the GI5… and they have a lot more novelty, that'll wear off faster than the G15.

And DF, I've seen it. It looks awesome.

Rawr, my computer owns.
