School just started, and i no longer need my old giant machine anymore...
Just all the extra things that was in there that i never use and don't really care for.
On top of that it's taking up WAY too much space >:( so i decided to downsize the machine
(just sent off my cam for repair i'll post pix in a little)
CPU -
Core 2 Quad Q9300 M1 - L805A907 didn't really need all that extra horsepower from a i7 six core chip
Mobo -
Asus P5K-2 Wifi this is the only 775 board i have that's got 6 SATA ports that's letting me hook up enough HDD to a motherboard... don't judge me! i have issues
RAM -
CMG4GX2M2A1066C5 DDR2 i just sent off my RAM for RMA so what ever OCZ is gonna give me next is going in here
VIDEO -
FPD1810 Gateway 18in LCD screen +
40in. Sony TV the 18in screen is my normal bench screen as well that's the only screen in the house that allows me to run 3DMark06+ with the right res :(
VGA -
EVGA 8800GT with MSI cooler for now soon i'll be switching it to GTX260 after i find it and done LN2ing it
Sound -
Audigy 2 ZS as sound card, didn't have a space in the case for the the front panel
Speaker System -
Logitech Z-5300 5.1 +
BOSE 321 hooked up in 7.2 surround
Case -
Antec Sonata Proto not much to this, got it as a gift and it really fits the space i was hopping to put in. the only prob is it can only hold up to
3 5.25in +
4 3.5in and that's a problem i have 6 HDD, and i keep one in the removable trey, and 2 in the Antec HDD cooler and they are both 5.25in bay and now i don't have a single space for my BD-RW
