Building a new PC soon

[billybob476]

Ah, makes the pentium D 3Ghz I want to replace looks pretty good. I guess my reasons are this is my main work/play machine. I literally spend 8-12 hours a day on it.

This new PC will be my new home machine.  My at work machine is a very low end Dell (doesn't even have a DVD drive in it).

P.S.  Currently I'm being tempted by some nice big Dell monitors too!

Yeah those Dell monitors are nice. I've got a 20" widescreen in front of me.

Since I work from home, I use the same machine for everything. It's running SQL Server 2005 dev edition, coldfusion server and a bunch of other stuff (not to mention playing some warcraft).

For anyone looking at Dell's, check out www.edealinfo.com.  Sometimes you can get about $100 off the sale price.

Well the new baby is built.  My computer area is a mess, but overall it went well.  I took some pics of the process and will post them soon.  So far Vista is behaving.  Lots to still load and move over but I'm pretty happy.  Only a couple of small nicks and cuts on my fingers.  But building a new PC isn't quite right without that.  I named the new machine "GALACTICA."
