Well after putting about $1000 on to my Visa over the last couple weeks, My new system is finally almost complete.
From an old bulky stand up case that worked better with the side panels off to a short horizontal black box that looks like an oversized Gamecube.
From a mother board that was old when I got it 3 years ago that I needed two video cards in because it no longer liked to run a monitor directly from the mother board to a new ASUS board that supports two monitors onboard.
From a old pentium II to a duel processing CPU
From 4 sticks of old RAM that pushed about a 1/3rd of a gig to one gig stick.
And lastly as of last night I have donated my old 15 and 13 inch monitors to Anime Evolution as I now get to look at twin pair of 19inch flat panel monitors (which has also given me back about 2/3 of the desk space the old monitors used.
Suffice to say, I am finally using the computer I wanted to build for the last 2 years. It feels good to have completed this task finally. The only remaining tasks are a couple of software updates and the odd thing to fiddle with.
And for anyone that used to joke at the fact my old system was still running on Windows ME, the new one is running XP Professional so you can stop laughing now.
I hope to rejoin Jakobo's journal postings shortly.
