I have my new Pc! :D

[C.Brutail]

Hell yess, after a month hard work, some luck, and many many days of waiting, I have just finally bought my new pc!

Screens of da little baby:


Holder on the top:



Front of the house with opened USB hatch:



System specs:
MB:: P4 Gigabyte 8N-SLI S775 DDr2 PCI-E
CPU: Celeron D 3000/533 S775
RAM: 512/533 MB DDR II
Optical: DVD R+RW LG GSA H10
VGA: Gigabyte NX73G128D-HR 7300 GS 128MB
Tv-Tuner: Leadtek Winfast2000XP (with remote control)
House: Midi ATX P4 Codegen 6102L CA 300W
Mobile Rack

There are currently two ATA harddrives in, 10 BG Seagate for systems, and 160 Gb Samsung for stuffz. Thsi will change when I can spare some money for a bigger hd fro systems (then it will be SATA), and then the 10GB goes into the rack.

Teh full price was brutto 430 euros.

Nexuiz runs pretty well on it, when I get back from vacation I'll provide some benchmarkin gnfo abut it

Lucky him that Nexuiz usually is not CPU limited

[Urmel]

oh, it isn't

Anyway, will have power enuff. I'm just worried about the lame 10gig disk doin the system stuff

[GreEn`mArine]

yeah, idd

I would NEVER EVER use a 10 GB harddisk (because a hardisk that has 10 GB capacity must be very old) because it is very slow for sure. But as you said, you are going to get a new one and replace that anyway

[tChr]

I have disks as small as 80MB still in use here and there

[GreEn`mArine]

and how fast are they ? 500 kb/s ?

I can even say that my 250 GB harddisk is 2-3x faster than my old 40 GB harddisk, how slow must a 10 GB harddrive be then, and how slow a 80 mb drive ?

[tChr]

Does it matter.. In a nice setup i very rarely read from/write to disk anyways

[tZork]

new celerons is fine for most stuff. celeron if not neray as bad preformace wise as back in the days when they was retarded p2 cores with no cash at all. and its a socket S775, so it can proly take a core duo cpu after a bios flash should you find yorself cpu limited.

the best thing to use a old drive for is systemdrive, its the thing that mattars the least if it crash and burn. The speed of a drive is not only dependednt on its age, but also how mutch it has been used. As drives get mor wonrn down more reads/writes needs to be done per request becuse of errors. Once this level gets high enougth the drive fails. I have 6 gig drives i use, from left over parts that never got used (md raid for backup) thise work just fine.. ofc they are not sata or udma 133, but if you think a normal drive can diliver 300/150/133m/s you got another suprize comming anyways xD

Anyways, nice rig - see ya in nex soon =)

In reply I wanted to have a P4, but I have an out of cash. Anyway, I'm very proud of this rig, as I have bought it from the money I have earned in the pharmacy where I was working for a month. Nearly all, I got about 55 euros from my parents to get the full price, but the majority is from my earnings.

I know this sounds lol for most of you as you're almost all working ppl here, but this was my second job, and I never thought I would learn (and earn ) so much there.
