Post by: Zimbacca on June 27, 2005, 10:50:31 PM
I finally got around to ordering my computer and it should be here some time next week.  Its slightly different from the last time I mentioned getting one.  The official specs are:

3.2 GHZ Pentium 4 processor
2 gigs of DDR2 ram
80 gig hard drive
256 MB Radeon video card (I would or rather had G-force, but oh well)
On board sound card (I don't really care about the sound card)
16X DVD RW with software
16X DVD ROM with software
Floppy drive
LAN Networking card
Wireless Networking card
4 USB ports
and windows XP

and some pictures of the case and key board

Very nice looking. Where did you get it? And what are you doing that you need 2 gigs or RAM? Video editing?

That will be quite a nice PC.  You'll be able to do just about anything you could want to on that thing.  Video editiong, photo editing, audio editing, all three simultaneously, actually be able to run Doom 3 with everything turned on and not get slowdown, play Stunt Driver, etc.

The whole thing's costing me $1414 including shipping.  The lighting came with the case and the case was only about $50 or 60$.  I guess I did go a little over board, but whatever, I like to have the most powerful PC I can.
