So here's what I got...


I finally changed my damn computer and got a brand spanking new one and tadam! I have a somewhat monster of a beast.

I know alot of you told me not to go with a package deal from any maker really.

But I was assured by one of my tech friends that the one I purchased was entirely upgradeable, the case can be changed, pretty much everything can be changed. In fact, although it comes with alot of bundled shit, most of it will be removed in the next few days by my friend and it will be striped to basicly be a brand spanking new computer... I just got it at a lower price.

I got the HP m7860n media center. So I have media center free, all the accessories for it, a free vista upgrade (premium, and ultimate for 250$ more...) and alot of fun features.

I have a core 2 duo 6400 running a 2.13ghz... I'm confused about the whole core 2 duo thing so I'm guessing it runs better then a 4.0ghz... I can also overclock it...

It came with the so-so card 7300 ls from Nvidia but meh... better then the 9250 from radeon I used to have...

2 gigs of DDR2...

500 gigs of hard drive...

As a whole I didn't lose anything... 1150$ canadian... and I got all that... I also got insurance for it for 5 years... basicly allowing my friend to do any work on it for free... 250$ also got the eclipse 2 keyboard from saitek... fucking sexy for 65$ (I would of gotten the g15... but he was out of them and the damn thing is huge for my desk...). and a 20$ mouse from logitech... not my choice mouse but he was out of g5's.

So all in all with tax about 1600$... (the taxes in canada are 13.5% so... yeah...)

I have a computer that blows my old one out of the water... some glitches will have to be worked out such as the shitty looking case and the so-so graphics card. But it's so fucking quiet and does everything better and quicker then my old piece of crap.

You can rant away on my bad decision. (I still love it)
