I was gonna write something clever making you think it's a girlfriend at first but I didn't have the imagination for it.
Anyway, it's a new computer. Got her yesterday and my god it's so nice to have a computer that counts as "modern". I've been on laptops for the past 5 years. I love laptops (nothing better then taking a shit while browsing youtube) but I also love starcraft. And since I didnt feel like putting up a shitload of money for a gaming-laptop I had to go with a desktop. Since I know nothing about what hardware you want these days I asked a friend to put together a nice one for me.
Specs:
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3
HDD: 320GB Samsung Spinpoint F1 T HD322HJ
CPU: Intel Core i3 530, 2.93GHz
RAM: Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) Value Select DDR3 1333MHz
GFX: XFX Radeon HD5770 XXX 1GB
Fan: Noctua NF-S12B FLX
PSU: Fractal Design Tesla 650W 80+
Case: Cooler Master Elite 334 Black
DVD: Optiarc AD-7240S DVD±RW Svart SATA, OEM
Now again a friend of mine put it together so no "why'd you go with X when there's Y?" I know very little about hardware.
So anyway it's been a while since I last assembled a computer so it took me 2½ hours to get it up and running. My back was pretty sore so I sat down and played SC2 until I couldn't keep my eyes open. So day 2, I played happely all day right?
No, tomorrow (today TL time) is my birthday. So I had to go back to my hometown. So now I'm stuck here for atleast 3 days. It hurts since I have a brand new computer with the beta on it at home. So today, instead of playing SC2, I spent 5 hours baking. Now my back is even worse and I still have to clean up. So so tired >.<
But this Sunday I'll put down some serious gamingtime! oooh I can't wait!

Nice! Just wondering though, how often do you get "presents" that are immediately taken away, or something of the sort because of April Fools?
|
Congrats, what are you going to name her?
+ Show Spoiler +Also can someone get me his IP address so I can check her ports and benchmarks when she gets a bit older.
|
Happy birthday and congrats on the baby!
PS: I miss your weight loss blog, bring it back.

These two actions are, in fact, one in the same. You cannot perform the same action twice in the same span of time. That is rather impossible.
But congrats on your new cyborg

Desktops > Laptops
Laptops are lame...especially for gaming

Not a fan of i3 but that's still a cool comp.
|
Damn, I actually thought it was a newborn baby.
Congrats on the build though, always the best way to go.
Looks like a great budget build that will run SC2 perfectly.
|
Might be dumping a bit too much into the PSU (only need 500W) but it looks solid enough of a build.

nice rig ! how many cores are there on the i3?

First of all: thank you guys so much for the congratulations!

Nah I don't need to overclock it. Runs SC2 perfectly and that's really all I need a new computer for.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I said "today TL time" because in KST the time was 1:48am April 2nd. I managed to get out of beeing a april fools joke  But I did have a childhood friend who was born on the 1st of April but we never did any jokes towards him :/

Well you have to consider that she's black, so I named her "Latosha". We're gonna be on Jerry Springer someday!
+ Show Spoiler +I live in a very gated community. If you try to check out my external IP, all the ports you'll "check" will belong to Frank the fat security guard who smells a bit funny. But I guess he could benchmark you all day!
