Ode to excess or meet my new computer, Princess Luna
13 years ago
It's funny I don't follow tech obsessively. I haven't built my own system or upgraded since 2005. I think it's overdue.
So I call her Princess Luna after a certain hot lil pony. I'm going to make her glow all pretty blue soon. }: ) I've also got a cool picture on the side. Always customize!
I'm taking photos as I put her together. Damn there's a lot of wiring to do. I think there's more in there than my car.
Samsung S27A350H 27-Inch Class LED Monitor $340 Also using a dell 19" LCD I got for free from work but I like the new one. I think I'll pick up another 27 incher in April or May. I want to go tri display off of my GTX680 anyway.
Windows 7 (64) Pro $140 (I can't believe I actually paid for a microsoft product. First time for everything. I was going to pirate it, but not worth the effort)
Intel i7 3820 3.6Ghz LGA2011 $320
Corsair Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler $109

G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory $400 I'll double this next month bringing it up to 64GB. Why? Because I can.
ASUS GTX680-2GD5 GeForce GTX 680 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card $500 brand new and shiny as of the 22nd.
COOLER MASTER HAF X Blue Edition RC-942-KKN3 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case with Black Interior and Four Blue LED Fans-1x 140mm rear fan, 1x 200mm top fan, 1x 200mm side fan, and 1x 230mm front fan $210 This sucker is a monster. It's huge.
Corsair Force Series GT 120 GB SATA 2.5-Inch SATA III Solid State Drive (For the OS and stuff) $165
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1502FAEX 1.5TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive x2 $150 each so $300
And of course all for...... Skyrim $53 cause I want to play a horse.
Wow uh $3200 just to watch my little pony. No wonder I haven't been eating out much this month. Heh dragoness' take it to the limit.
Hmm it's been about a month to get delivered and assemble all these shiny new parts.
Now I just need a rubber piggy!

Cool, the SSDs are the neatest thing I've seen. They're so....tiny. I was amazed at how small those guys are.
