Just brought her home. And yes, I am the proud father.



AMD Athlon X2 5200+ 64bit (AM2) CPU
2GIG DDR2 PC4200 RAM
320 GIG X2 SATA WD KS 7200RPM HD
Creative SoundBlaster X-FI 24-BIT
ATI X1800XT 512MB PCI-Express


Plus all the keyboard and mouse and power supply stuff that no one is interested in reading... All for the low low price of $2000 CAD (Plus tax.). Monitor is a 19" Widescreen Panel LCD, which cost me just over $295 CAD with tax.

:hyper: Can't wait to get it all setup!

One thing- I would have gone for a DX10 card with smaller memory than a top-end DX9 card with more memory. Having said that, I just bought a 7600GS so I can't comment.

Hello

The single AA battery on the bed looks a bit lonely.

Considering the amount that CPU must have cost, I would have got something a little quicker than PC4200 memory. Some nice CAS3 PC6400 would have been much sweeter.
I'm only running CAS3 PC5400 myself since the single core chips don't support the 800MHz memory.

nice, you must be happy where did you get it from?

Even though I'm an AMD fanboy I can't approve of this purchase since C2D would be much better. Nice rig anyway

Have to agree with Davo. C2D is the way to go these days, especially for the price you paid for that 5200+.

C2D E6400 and an ASUS P5W DH Deluxe WiFi for the same price. MUCH better motherboard, too, and same Crossfire support.

Yup, would of went core 2 duo, hell i would of even waited a month or two until intel slash there prices.

duuuuuuuuuuuudewicked on the other hand , I see hotWheels ....

oh man your gonna love that setup! Congrats! Looks like you got a good collection of hotwheels to

I got the 5200+ for cheaper I'll upgrade when I need too, this will do me for a while yet.

Local shop; been going there for nearly 12 years now I think. I basically got this computer for cost.

[EDIT] Oh yes, the batteries. Those are from my digital camera; gotta recharge em. :P
