Finally, after much deliberation I have a new computer. I would just like to thank Mr Neo_VR for being kind enough to buy £1100 worth of parts before I actually gave him the money!! Thanks Col, very trusting of you! I hope the money has cleared now!! lol.

So here it is! Well overdue.......

Quad core processor, 2 gig of RAM (I wanted 4 but Col wouldn't let me, something to do with not needing it and at least I can upgrade it when I get bored?? :confused:), and of course the main event - 24" Dell widescreen monitor which CG found for a bargain price for me! :D

P.S - I don't care if you aren't interested! I just wanted to tell someone and say thanks!

So what's the spec?

So what's the spec?

Intel Q6600 SLACR Quad core 2.4gig (tested stable up to 3.1gig)

2gb Corsair XMS DDR2-800 ram

Abit IP35-Pro Intel P35i motherboard

500gb Maxtor SataII hard drive

XFX 512mb 8600GT

BenQ 20x DVD burner

Silverstone Temjin5 case (fecking hoooj!)

running Vista Home Premium rather nicely on the Dell 2407wfp-HC screen

But what are the box of tissues by the screen for???

For my nose :P

For when Col got excited while overclocking it

Nice

Trust me, you'll soon get bored and fancy an extra 2GB.

Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, you are bored and need 4gig. Look into my eyes

Modern overclocking is far too easy.. the uguru tool in windows does it all

sounds like a very high spec for browsing briskoda!

P.S i wouldn't worry about the box of tissues, i would be more concerned about the picture of the car in a picture frame and on the desktop.. thats a weeee bit obsessive! :P

Well I have no photos on that PC to use as a background, and I love that pic and wanted to try my SLR pics as my background so just transferred it over to use it. It's also a rather good pic of my car It was among some pics I printed out one time, so I put that and the photo of my and olivia into the glass fram. the pic of my and little black horse has been there years

yes it's pretty uber. And the power is for photoshop and premier pro, not briskoda :P

My room in the new house is black but I will be having a 'computer room' anyway.

Which motherboard did you use for this system?

Abit IP35-Pro - Ooops didn't see that post

Awww, what a nice pair of puppies you have Loz.

Yeah, i chose the IP35-pro because the Asus boards (ive *always* had asus boards) are not as good as they used to be quality wise and the IP35 is more stable at high FSB, and has better mosfets and voltage control

sort the cables out :eek:
