Upcoming Posts

It was a light week I know, but things have been busy at work, and I got a little behind in my posting.  I have some stuff planned that will go up in the next 2 days or so.  It may include any of the following:

• War Machine review
• Cloverfield review
• Pull List
• Messiah Complex Review
• Comments on D&D 4e

So keep your eyes open and I promise hope that I won’t lapse again in the following weeks.

An Odyssey Begun….

Well I’ve ordered the “first half” of my new computer. Ordered the following components:

Cooler Master Stacker RC-832

A big roomy full tower case with plenty of room for expansion

ASUS Maximus Formula

Using the X38 North Bridge, PCIe x16 2.0, DDR2. Solid looking board.

Seagate Barracuda 750GB HD (OEM)

Went OEM for the HD. Solid company. Massive Capacity.

Mushkin DDR2 800 2x (2gb)

DDR2 is still cheap as hell, got me four gigs on 2 sticks.

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400

Intel’s newest chip under the Wolfdale name. Small, cool, fast. Almost went with quad-core but I think I can wait a bit, until more software takes advantage of 4 cores.

I plan on ordering the rest (video card, optical drive, OS, and power supply) in about a week (I get paid next Wednesday). Now I only hope I put this shit together without having anything explode or catch on fire.
