I have purchased a new computer! It has a 3200+ AMD 64 bit processor, 1Gig of RAM, GeForce 6600 Overclocked Videocard, 160 Gigs internal storage space. Regular DvD drive, Samsung 17" 8ms 600:1 monitor. Including rebates, came to around 850 bucks.
By the way - I wanna know who got the brilliant damn idea to allow the same corrupt degenerates who put plastic spinners on their cars to design computer cases. All the cheap cases that had the requisite power supply were stupid irritating flashy trash bins with front pieces you had to open like a cupboard. I had to go up to 80 bucks - from 40 - to find a case that wouldn't make me look like a 12 year old with self-esteem issues. On the bright side, it is a solid satisfactory case with few problems. It wasn't suited to larger graphics cards (had some wierd switch system to remove the plates that couldn't lock the card) and I could have done without the blue lights on all the fans. But they don't seriously irritate me, so it's no big deal.
Now I need the soundtrack for Rome to get here to I can install it and send hordes of men against one another.
Also, I am playing World of Warcraft on it. Though I've only played for about an hour in two days owing to schoolwork and other distractions.
I won't be the lagger next time we play Dawn of War or Rome, guys!

that's a pretty decent price, built a comparable system for jeremy last week for $650 including shipping, amd 64bit 3500+, 7200 RPM 120GB 8MB cache SATA 150 disk, gigabit ethernet, 5.1 channel sound, 1GB DDR 400, Dual layer DVD burner, 450w PS, good full size case. He already had a monitor and vid card, so, that would easily account for the difference, so, ya got a decent deal on that machine!
So, wait for ben to get a new box together, and throw a lan party!
