The New Build!

I have been wanting to do a fresh build on my gaming machine for a long long time. About 10 years ago I entered the foray of custom build computers and I LOVED customizing machines and doing the research on each individual pieces to get the ultimate build for the lowest cost.

I used that machine for 7 years before it finally popped. Well, everything didn't pop but enough that I knew better than to waste the money on buying old parts and decided to start saving my samoleans to do a new build. The problem is that my parents are very over generous and they caught wind that my machine had popped and went out and bought a newer Acer (this was almost 3 years ago) and I have to admit I am really impressed with the upgrade capabilities hat come standard with their base models. Rather than doing a complete rebuild I upgraded the machine they bought me and have been using that up until now.

While doing some packing/cleaning for the move next month I uncovered a computer case that I had completely forgotten a friend had sold to me for cheap. It is still gorgeous and I decided to start fresh with it as the foundation. Here is a pic of the case (pulled from the internets):

As you can see it is muey gorgeous and I love the sleek design. :D I am really stoked about putting this bad boy together. Tonight I ordered one of the TB HDDs and the processor. This is about as much as  I could really afford with rent due today but with the next paycheck I hope to have it up and running. 

A month from now I will be in full upgraded computer mode.

Happy Friday all!
