Today a Silverline Courier rang at my doorbell bringing a large cartboard box containing some goodies:

• AMD Athlon 64 3200+
• 1024 MB Corsair memory
• ASUS EAX 700 256 Video Card
• ASUS A8N-E Mainboard
• 200 GB SATA Maxtor HD
• a hefty bill :(

After some tinkering and sweating I was ready for my first boot. Lo and behold: no errors (I seriously kick behind :P). So now I just started up IE to download Firefox :P) and post my first message from this new sweeeeet setup of mine :D

Sorry about the bragging bit, but I'm quite satisfied, having been working on a Celeron 1.3 Ghz-machine for 4 years now... I didn't go for a supreme l33t configuration, but still I'm quite content and ready for another year of DOS games :cheers:

I feel better now. With my second child about to be born and the finances starting to get tied down for awhile..I was mad that I wouldnt be able to build myself a new computer for awhile. But now that I see your new computer is the same as my old one..I feel better :P Cept I have a Radeon 9800XT 256mb..and 2 smaller HD's that about equal yours.. :P

Anyways, I didn't mean that as a "rain on your parade" type thing.

Congrats on the new PC..should be plenty of power for awhile :P

As a student I don't have much money at all :P
I could have spent all my dough on one of those dual-core athlons or on a massive € 400 videocard, but decided to restrain myself. Ik hope AMD sticks to the 939 socket for awhile, so I can do a CPU-upgrade in a year or so :)

Oh, and good luck with your second. When's it gonna be born?

How much did all that stuff cost you, and from where? I'm quite interested in buying a new PC and that one looks just right.

The whole lot was around € 600,00

I bought if of a Dutch internet-seller: www.cool-prices.nl

I must add that I allready owned a Big Tower Case/400w Power Supply, a NEC DVD-rewriter and also had the dual monitor setup...

I definately wasn't knockin/bashin the computer :P You paid 1/3 prolly of what I paid for mine..so you should be laughing at me :P

As for the baby..she's due on Aug6..but most likely will be born within a week or 2...we hope. My first was 2 weeks early..and the 2nd is usually the same or earlier. We'll see though :P Thanks for the congrats :P
