I’ve been drooling over computer parts recently. Well, I usually do, but I mean more than normal. The problem is that I am a computer snob, so I cannot settle with just a regular computer, and therefore it gets quite expensive. If I were to buy today, here is what I’ve got lined up:
1 Athlon 64 X2 3800+
1 ABIT KN8 SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI
2 CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200)
1 Western Digital Caviar SE WD2500JD 250GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150
1 MSI NX7800GTX-VT2D256E Geforce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16
2 NEC Black IDE DVD Burner Model ND-3540
1 Lian Li PC-6070BPLUS Black Computer Case
1 SeaSonic S12-600 ATX12V 600W Power Supply
Total cost: $1837.98 before shipping and tax.
Yeah, so that is a lot of money, and I should really hold off, although I’d be selling my laptop to raise about half of that money. I figure I should squeeze at least a couple more months out of my laptop. I think a good way to enforce this for myself is to plan a wild case-mod that I don’t have time to do right now.
This post motivated by this case mod.
