New computer, built and functioning!

Posted by blue213 on Oct. 5, 2007, 2:20 p.m.

So here's the specs:

Processor:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (£172.50)

Motherboard:

MSI P6N Platinum (£102.76)

RAM:

Crucial Ballistix DDR2 PC8000 1GB x2 (£127.01)

Graphics:

PNY Geforce 8800GTS 640mb (£260.00)

Soundcard:

X-FI Elite Pro (£193.46)

Power:

OCZ GameXStream 600W (£67.98)

Screen:

Viewsonic VX922 (£159.93)

Mouse/Keyboard:

Microsoft Business hardware pack (£20.07)

CD/DVD + Burning drive

Liteon LH-20A1H-487C 20xDVD1RW/DL (£23.59)

Hard Drive:

Western Digital RAPTOR X 150GB (£140.88)

2x 250GB WD Caviar (£86.65)

OS:

Windows XP Professional 64-bit

TOTAL: £1565.25

Some of the parts are missing from this list, though.

So what does 64D think so far? Was it a good choice to go for 64-bit?

Anyway, to game making. Recently in BlastForce I've been revamping the engine, making it faster, and the like. The view angle is now behind the player, and rotates with it. Enemy turrets now rotate towards targets. Still a lot of work to do, though. Perhaps I'll post a few screenshots later.

Oh yeah, my keyboard and music software arrived. I've hooked up the keyboard to the computer and installed the software. YAY. I don't have a stand for it, though. At the moment it's precariously balanced on top of two stools.

Thanks,

Blue

Errr… I don't have a camera.

You'll probably never use all that power.

Perhaps, but I also use it for music production which can get very power hungry. At least it'll last a while, though.

If your computer is up and running, you'd better go catch it.

Functioning, then.

That computer will last you for a decent amount of years before a need for a major upgrade, specially the Quad Core and nice Ram and Mother Board.

If you have the money best to go for a high end decent computer, so there be no need to upgrade in a while.

Aha, thanks APlusHost.

Not bad, not bad at all. You're running the pretty much same stats that I am with the exceptions of you having a weaker PSU. [:P]

But that cost…I built my system couple months ago for half that…
