  Desktop PC summary

  Ok, my last blog was a long time ago before I even had all the parts together.

  
  Now I have all the parts and here is my review for my own computer:

  
  

  I got WAAAAAAAAAAAY More than I bargained for. It is, the best financial investment I have ever made.

  
  

  Total cost: 640 dollars beetches.

  That's right, I spent under 700 dollars for a well functioning computer.

  Already having a monitor helps, (and my monitor is a sick 1400 x 900 px screen ty very much.)

  I also already have a speaker system, inherited from my Dad. It's old speaker system: One subwoff and two treble speakers, but the sound is still amazing.

  
  

  My computer: runs super cool. Max heat I've seen is on the Graphics card, at about 140 F.

  Processor stays beneath 95 degrees F.

  My computer has enough fan power to keep it cool.

  I have two disk drives: one I had to buy and the other was a dvd player, gift from a friend.

  It has alot of USB, but the front panel for sound doesn't work, so i don't use the head set I bought.

  I'm planning to fix that tho.

  The interior is BLUE. The blue led from the Massive fan I have installed lights up my computer's insides with a blue light.

  It's sweeeet.

  This computer: will play EVERYTHING. It can play any game, any setting (with reduced frame rates of course).

  I'm thinking of getting a duplicate graphics card to buffer frame rates, but that will come at a later time.

  
  

  My computer is one sick beast, and it will boot in 44 seconds or less, and shut down in 20.

  
  

  I run windows 7 32 bit beta. I want windows 7 64 bit when it comes out, then my computer will be maxed out.

  
  

  My mobo has an onboard cooling system. My computer will never overheat. Of course, I'm not overclocking, so i'm not afraid of that either.

  Internet is freaking sweet: 1 gigabit ether net port and 2.4 gighertz wireless internal I got for 30 DOLLARS.

  And my internet kicks butt with 2 bars. Imagine 5 bars when I get back to my dorm.

  Photoshopping is excellent: i'll never use my laptop for photoshopping again.

  Images load fast, it's filter ready, and it has enough memory to boot.

  
  

  Only upgrades I look forward to making are:

  Windows 7 64 bit
  another GeForce 9800 GT
  And another 4 gigs of Ram.

  that should aboot do eet for my sick computer.

  
  

  Only problem i've had was the Antivirus: bit defender gamesafe: it can't even upgrade.

  I was several dissappointed in wasting 30 dollars on a defective antivirus. I look forward to getting a new one when i nuke the drive and reinstall everything. xD
