THE PARTS
So my credit card finally made an appearance and with it came the power to finish my BRAND NEW COMPUTER!!! So here's a rundown:
Asus K8N-E Deluxe mobo
AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 512KB L2 Cache 64-bit Processor
Crucial 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200 (x2)
Western Digital Raptor 36.7GB 10,000RPM SATA Hard Drive
Allied 400W Power Supply AL-A400ATX w/ Two Fans
Saitek PC Gamer's Keyboard
Logitech Laser Cordless Mouse (Blue/Black), Model "MX1000"
Microsoft Windows XP Professional With Service Pack 2
And all of this will fit nicely inside Xerxes' old case. I didn't replace my DVD drive or CD burner because The DVD drive is new and there's no point in getting a new CD burner unless I'm going to get a DVD burner instead.
I'm painfully hooked on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's all Katie's fault. But if I were to recommend it to anyone, I'd have to say buy the first AND second season before you pass judgement on it. The first season introduces the whole thing but it's also the weakest in terms of stories. Season 2 is much better. I'm on episode 11 (of 22) of season 3. I've watched 11 episodes in 2 days. Really, it's all Katie's fault!
I've also made some progress on Silent Hill 4 (not as much as I've wanted to but that's because the game has taken a VERY sad turn for the annoying) AND Knights of the Old Republic! Hey Chris, I made it off the first planet! I'm moving on up! P.S. The dark side RULES.
