I made a new comp this past weekend! :D Though my last one wasn’t too bad, I didn’t treat it too well and it heats up really fast. Everything takes a 10-second thinking time before executing, and Photoshop even started doing the built-in-coffee-refill-time trick after a while. There’s also a lot of shit piled up/left over from previous installs/abuse and whatnot as well, so I decided that I should get a new one (with my AN money HORHORHOROR)
It hurt my wallet though; I spent around $600 on these new parts )=:
- - Asus P5something motherboard
- Intel Core 2 duo 6xxx 2.13 Ghz
- 2G DDR2 RAM
- new case
- Seagate 250gb hd
- evga GeForce something7600 with 512mb memory
I kept my yellowing CD-rom (not even rewritable LOL;; it so ruins the appearance of my new case), display, mouse/keyboard and stuff. It’s so awesome now; maybe it’s cus there are 4 fans (and a vent hole on the case?? LOL) to keep everything cool. Programs don’t choke anymore (so far) and I actually have space to download stuff O: I wish I have the time to try playing some games on it.
/o/!

zs: yea I understand… I really should, but it feels unnecessary almost xD I will buy one when this one explodes or something LOL

When I got mine, around 2~ years ago, it was around 80~90 SGD. I`d safely bet the same model would retail around 50 USD, or maybe 50 canadian dollars if the price dropped further. Mine is some BenQ DVD-RW. If you find that out of your budget, you might be able to find some even cheaper model. But as with all things computer, you pay for what you get.

zs: I am actually fine without even a CD drive until I needed to install some of my drivers/programs ;;; cus cheap still kinda means $50 ish maybe?
GE is kinda fun, but most importantly I can afk in it and level up while drawing LOL

that looks like pretty expensive.
And you should really consider upgrading to a DVD-RW drive, if not a Blu Ray.
It`s quite cheap now for a decent quality one.
Is GE that fun?
