here are some of the parts that went into my new rig. nothing fancy, all basic basic stuff. this is by far the most practical and least exciting comp i have ever gotten. even less than my dad's work computer. -.-" but it was easy on the wallet, and that counts for some thing right?
palit n73pv mobo
dual core intel chip (also very basic)
4gb of Team Elite Ram
now to wait for my cashflow to improve so i can hoot my x-fi titanium soundcard and maybe a 3850 gfx card. ooh, and maybe another screen too! :)
