So I'm back! I was thinking of going onto hiatus but well... once I went and had a look at peoples pages it made me just want to submit some new photos! So expect them soon!


So, only until recently I've been roughing it with an average computer setup, yeah it does the job and I love my baby.
But like all good things, it needs an upgrade.


Case: Stock
Mother Board: Stock
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2500+, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.8GHz
RAM: 512mb
HDD: 80GB
Video Card: SAPPHIRE RADEON 9600SE Edition
Sound Card: Realtek AC97 Audio
Screen: Compaq V720
Power Supply: Stock


I'm currently doing some office work with my uncle and earning my self a very nice $16.50 an hour. I'll be doing this for a total of 3 weeks and working around 9 hours a day.
So that's...
$148.50 a day
$742.50 a week
and $2173.50 over the 3 weeks.
(Note: This is all before tax of course)

So a good chunk of this money, combined with the money I already have saved, will be invested into upgrading my computer. Due to the age of my Mother Board I have no choice but to buy a new one, therefore I will have to purchase new everything.


New Specs as follows.
Case: Antec "Nine Hundered"
Mother Board: Asus P5E-X38
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
RAM: Corsair 2GB
HDD: Seagate 400GB
Video Card: Asus 8800GT-TOP 512MB
Sound Card: SupremeFX II
Screen: Viewsonic VX1932 (2ms response) I still need to check up on this one..
Power Supply: Still working on that..
(Maybe be subject to change)

So the Phoenix Mark II has been commissioned and I'll be waiting for the moola to roll in so that I can go out a buy all those shiny new parts. D
