…well, mostly new. I bought a new CPU, motherboard, RAM, network card and optical drive. The last three high priority parts I need to replace for it to be 100% new computer are: graphics card, power supply and sound card.
Anyways, I made the switch from AMD to Intel and I'm damn happy about it, even if it was harder on my wallet. Specs:[new] Intel i7 3770K @ 3.5Ghz[new] 2*8GB Corsair Vengeance Blue[new] ASUS Sabertooth Z77[new] Intel PRO/1000 CT (network adapter)[new] Zalman Z9 Plus (case)[old] OCZ Vertex 2 60GB (SSD)[old] 2*500GB (Hitachi Deskstar, Seagate Barracuda)[old] Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme[old] ATI Radeon HD 4600[old] Cooler Master 500WThe Sabertooth motherboard is fucking awesome. Three big reasons I picked it: it's just damn nice overall, it supports 32GB RAM and has 8 (internal) SATA ports.Other stuff:Samsung SyncMaster 2343BWX 23" @ 2048*1152Sennheiser HD558250Mb down/15Mb upParts I intend to get:ASUS Xonar Essence STXGigabyte GeForce GTX 6702*8GB Corsair Vengeance BlueCorsair Enthusiast Series TX850M 850W2*3TB Toshiba HDKPC08 or Western Digital Red128GB Crucial M4Cooler Master HAF X EATXCorsair Cooling Hydro Series H60After 6 years, I finally built a new computer

Why does everyone have magical alien space computers? My case looks like a rusty briefcase.
Everyone decided that it was time to build their PC's, I guess.
I built one too but I'm too lazy to put it up.Man, everyone's building awesome PCs these days.. Looks awesome.
*grits teeth* I'm sure you two will be very happy together.Guess it's time to go buy another gaming laptop and say I did something cool.
That looks epic btw. Red and blue LEDs?Having one is beyond cool. There are some things you need to understand, Chi.
My computer doesn't even have fans, I just pour cold water on it when it gets hot.
One of these days, I will actually build a PC.
That case looks like the one I planned to buy before I spent all my money on a car.
