Just finished building my first computer!

[bmxmon]

And I gotta say im pretty happy. Its a pretty sweet rig, intel core 2 duo E4300 1.8ghz processor, though I will be overclocking it tomorrow to about 3.0-3.2 hopefully. MSI P35 platnium board, 2gb of ram, 160 gb HD, PNY 7900GS GeForce graphics card, and a honkin Cooler Master Gemini II cpu cooler (looks really sweet btw, like it has a header coming out of it, haha). All that shoved into a cheap, plain looking case, since all of the expensive ones are quite ugly IMHO, plus I cant stand doors on computer cases. That, plus some of the other less cool stuff I didnt mention cost me about $800, all from newegg. (though I have about $130 in Mail in Rebates...) I also got a tv turner card, hopefully i'll be recording the cool car shows and then post them on the net The reason for the new computer build was that my laptop died on me, so it was a good reason to learn how to build a desktop. Still gotta go update and DL all my old programs, right now im on an old version of IE and its kinda driving me nuts....

(Ignore the mess, lol)
