Wow, I really suck at making up my god damn mind. I think, and hope this is the final spec.
OS: Windows XP Professional SP2
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (Conroe) E6400 2.13GHz
RAM: 2GB Corsair DDR2 667MHz 240 Pin - Dual Channel +
HDD1: 320GB WD Caviar SE16 Serial ATA II 16MB 7200RPM
HDD2: 320GB WD Caviar SE16 Serial ATA II 16MB 7200RPM +
Graphics Card: eVGA 7600GT 256MB GDDR3
Mother Board: Gigabyte GA-945P-S3 +
Cooling: Intel & Nvidia stock coolers
Monitor: Samsung 20" LCD Syncmaster 203B 8ms 1400 x 1050 (native res) +
Sound: Realtek 7.1 High Definition Audio
PSU: Fortron Source Blue Storm II 400W +
Case: APLUS 188A Midi tower (Black) +
+ Means it's changed from previous spec loadouts (below)
I managed to find a 20" monitor with a lowwer native resolution for fairly cheap, so I wanted to get that instead of a 19". |

I was trying to deicde between a 19" monitor with 1280 x 1024 (native res) and a 20.1" 1600 x 1200 (native res) I would save for the 20.1" but it'd take some time so I decided in the end for the 19" I will be buying a seperate PSU, the default wattage is 400W. |

I am no longer building my own computer. I searched around, and with the help of a friend, managed to find a powerfull system which is already built.

I cannot wait for this thing. It'll rape every game I plan to play, and every app I intend to run!
With that graphics card, I'll be able to get a solid 80-120 fps in games such as Counter-Strike: Source, BF and splinter cell Chaos Theory with all settings turned up high and maybe some AA & AF |

First post of 2007...
... yeah, I've been busy. School work, not school work, and it goes on. This year is going to be awesome, I can't wait for the summer.
Let's see, in June I will be buying all the parts for a new PC which I will be building for myself :P
Can't wait for that. Finally, a decent computer... and it's a desktop, not a crappy laptop. I'm just about done with laptops now, I think.
The PC is specially designed for heavy multimedia editing since that's what I'll be doing in my gap year besides getting a job and learning to drive.
Here are the rough specs as of now. They may well change.

Processor: 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
RAM: 2GB DDR2 800MHz G.Skill 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM, Dual Channel
HDD: 250GB Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 7200 RPM, 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
Graphics Card: 256MB GDDR2 Nvidia GeForce 7600GS
Mother Board: Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
Cooling: Zalman 9500CNPS Heatsink/Fan
Monitor: Samsung 940N 19" (Black) 8ms LCD
PSU: SeaSonic S12-430 ATX12V 430W
Case: Antec Performance One P180B (Black)
