NERD OUT!!!!!!!!!

last night i finally got the final piece of my new puzzle...

MSI NX8600GT Twin Turbo POW EDITION!!!!!!!!!!

doesn't that video card just scream: DON"T WORRY!!!! I GOT IT... JUST GET OFF ME!!!!!!!!!! GOSSSSSSSH!!!!

along with my new motherboard:

ASUS P5NSLI and my Core2 E4300 Overclocked CPU

my computer was pretty beastly before but this one just puts it waaaay over the top... its been 2 years since i did a massive upgrade and so here it is ladies and gents.. my new frankenstein...

so i wasn't online yesterday, i didn't do the pictures, i didn'tship out my laptop, i didn't play xbox live... what did i do? i popped in Lois and Clark and worked on my new computer until 4am... oh i also went to fry's with amy to buy some more nerdy stuff for ANOTHER computer i'm building... (for someone else) and i needed some nerd parts to get it all up and running.... (why am i cursed with knowing too much about computers?!?!)

i plopped in a new windows (Windows XP Media Center Edition) (i refuse to use crappy windows vista... and am contemplating about putting Linux and MAX OSX on my new computer as well...) and not really doing much to it yet because i know i'm reformatting in a couple days (i'm getting a new RAPTOR drive in a couple days from santa)



WD Raptor 150 Gigs The fastest / quietest hardrive on the planet... **drools**


so yes... i nerded out... hahaha... its so fun to do so... and of course... first time never really worked (that's always the case with me) turns out i shorted 2 pins together (good going adj) good thing is it iddn't blow anything up... i'm glad engineering has advanced to the point that when dumbasses like me connect something incorrectly that the board is smart enough to realize a reverse polarity on two pins and shut itself off... GOOD JOB!!!! i should give myself a pat on the back for being an Electrical Engineer...

anyhow, i'm posting up pics right now so don't worry socal peeps... the pics are coming.. (actually to tell u the truth they have always been up i just never made them public cuz i'm stingy like that... HAHA)
