So, when I returned from my Bishop trip, I experienced some computer issues. BSOD - Blue screen of death computer issues (the not so good kind). Long story short, it turned out my ram modules went bad. However, for me to reach that final conclusion, I pretty much did a near complete tear down of my custom built PC. And in the course of tearing down the PC, I got to learn a lot about custom PC building. Wow. Obtaining all this knowledge was pretty fun but the process of trying to get the PC back in working order was pretty stressful. I had some deadlines and I need to push photos outs. But I don't all this information to go to waste/go moldy in my head.
What does that all entail. I'm going to build me a newish PC for myself. I'll take the existing hard drives and the Ram modules from my current PC and use them for the new build but I do want some new parts.
I want raid'ed SSDs as a boot drive, I want CrossFireX or SLI video cards (maybe - the cool factor is high but for CS5.5 - a Cuda video card might make more sense), and I might want a water cooled cooling system. And I'll probably switch off from an AMD chip and splurge on a Intel Core i7-2600 Sandy Bridge chip with a SATA-6 enabled motherboard or as the cool kids call them, a new mobo.
The Chinese-ness in me doesn't and won't allow me to go retail price on these goodies. So, seeing how I have a fully function PC to keep me occupied, I'll piece together a new piece as the there are specials for the respective parts.
Parts I've amassed so far.
I got a gaming tower.Rosewill GEAR X3 Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, Support up to 15.36" Video Card, with Three Fans-1x Front Blue LED 140mm Fan, 1x Top 120mm Fan, 1x Rear 120mm Fan, Option Fan-1x Top 120mm Fan, 2x Side 120mm Fan.
And I got a power source. KINGWIN Lazer LZ-850 850W Modular 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC W/ 3-Way LED Switch and Universal Modular Connector Power Supply.
Don't be jealous of my geek-dome. I'm cecy like that.
