I had a fight with my cat last night. She scratched me in the face and I threw her in the bathroom. The thing was she did it for absolutly no reason. That really pissed me off.
I need to keep listening for Upstate SGNY stuff. Getting kinda bored!
I'm building a new computer for my brother. This system is going to be sick. When I say sick, I mean goddamn, motherfucking, holy-shit, fucking straight-up blazing fast. Of course, I'm building it from scratch. For the case and power-supply, I went with a company called Diablo Tek (also known as Power Max apparently). 550w power supply that has SATA power connections. The meat of the system is an MSI motherboard (socket 939 dual channel supported), Athlon 64 3400+ (2.2GHz). 1GB of dual channel Kingston Hyper-X memory (low-latency). Dual SATA Western Digital 7200RPM hard drives in Raid 0 (I would have liked to go with WD 10000RPM Raptors, but cost was high). Read-only 16x Sony DVD drive with 512kB cache. A rather large heatsink from Thermaltake (Water-cooling seemed too much for the effort since I will not overclock). The weakest part of the system is the video card: ATI RADEON 9600 XT. As you can see, this system is soley for gaming... I would have liked to go with some higher end devices, but cost was limited, and for under $1000 this is an extremely good system. I am guessing I could get about an equal performance system for $600, but it would be an overclocked Sempron without the 64-bit instruction set and dual channel support. You would still need to get dual channel memory, as you would be overclocking and dual channel memory is much better at overclocking. I figured though, I would go to the extremes for cooling an overclocked system, so the cost be about the same because the cooling supplies would balance the cost saved from parts. Now if I forego the extra cooling parts, the cost savings would be tremedeous. I still need to get rid of this $350 computer I built first though.
