New PC

I know this doesn’t have anything to do with marketing, but I thought I’d share anyway. I’ve had the same old HP desktop computer for 5 years, so last week I decided it was time for something a little more modern. I ordered all of my parts from NewEgg (great deals, by the way) and just got everything assembled tonight. This is the first time I’ve ever built a PC on my own before, and it scary and at the same time awesome. So far it’s all running swimmingly, except for the spark I saw when I first turned it on…I haven’t discovered what got fried, yet. Anyways, here’s what I got:
COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UB Black /Blue Computer Case
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 2.1GHz Socket AM2 65W Processor
GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3 ATX AMD Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB 3.5″ SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Memory
MSI GeForce 8600GTS NX8600GTS-T2D256E-OC Video Card
SAMSUNG 20X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA Model SH-S203B
And the grand total of that was $504.93. Not too bad, I guess. It nearly tore my heart out working enough courage to order everything. I’m a huge tightwad and I spent all day fretting over whether to spend that much money. But, in a frenzy I went ahead and clicked the magic button and I’m glad I did. Now I can be more productive and get more into video editing and stuff. Also, I play a game or two occasionally.
