My laptop died. Again.

I ordered a brand new, fully customised PC yesterday, because my laptop’s power stopped working. AGAIN! Apparently, I’m doomed to forever have broken power adapters, if indeed that’s the problem this time around.

Never mind though, because this new computer is giving me a geekgasm. Check out the sexy spec.

  • Memory : 4GB DDR2 Ram ;
  • Hard Disk : 1TB SATA Hard Disk; 32MB cache ;

On top of that, I’ve spent a few days setting up a home office in my bedroom. It’s looking good but not yet finished. I’ll try to remember to post a photo once it’s ready.

    By the way, I chose Win XP for a reason ;)

    I did a new one back in December.
    Core 2 duo E8500, 4GB DDR-1066 mem, GTX-260 (Core 216) video, DL DVD-RW drive, 640GB WD Black series HD, beautiful aluminum case from Lian-Li, Samsung 24″ LCD display @ 1920×1200. Still keeping my old faithful IBM “Model-M” keyboard and standard MS optical mouse.
    $800 for the box + $329 for the monitor. Quite fast. :)
    Congrats on your new machine!
