My New Computer

So instead of buying a lift for my jeep I bought a new gaming system... and Really I am only into one game and that is Battlefield. The new computer also won out due to some work I need to get done.

Here is what I got for just under $1600.

ASUS A8N-E Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard
Simple clean easy install and despite the bozos at PC Club it is very overclockable.

SAPPHIRE 100149 Radeon X1900XT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card (AWESOME CARD) Why not just go with the best?

ASUS Atlas A-55GA ATX12V 2.0 550W Power Supply
It turns out that expensive video cards need expensive power supplies.

AMD Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego 1GHz HT Socket 939 Processor Model ADA4000BNBOX
I didn't go the dual core route to save on cost. I wanted to still be overclockable if I wanted to do it.

Patriot 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model PDC2G3200LLK

ViewSonic VA1912wb Black 19" 8ms Widescreen LCD Monitor (AWESOME SCREEN)
My old 17 inch CRT while still running and looking good. It was time to retire it to second bannana. It has served me well and infact I have had it 10 years.

BenQ 16X DVD±R DVD Burner With LightScribe Black ATA/ATAPI Model DW1655
Bang for the buck... It came with 100 free cdrs

Sony CD RW 40x 16x 12x
This is an antique I have had...for a while.

80 gb Seagate SATA Drive
I bought this drive for a client who didn't want the speed... so I traded him for an old 80 gb maxtor IDE.

150 gb Maxtor IDE
This gem is about the 5th maxtor drive I have had due to crashes and warranty replacements. Not bad for a drive that was originally a 20 gb that someone gave me.
