I’ve been quite busy this week. Mainly with work and trying to get my frigging scanner to work again. Lots of distraction from my new computer too. I bought a new computer with the following statistics:
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 - It’s fast
- ASUS P5K motherboard - reasonably priced with innovative features
- 2GB RAM, 800 Mhz (each pair is a gig)
- Western Digital 320GB - I am quite happy with WD so I got another WD)
- Gigabyte GeForce 8600 GT - It’s silent. As in totally silent, cooled with a heatsink. It would be great for my room since I don’t turn off my computer at night sometimes.
- A new Microsoft keyboard…
- A Razer Diamondback - It’s a gaming mouse but it feels good and I just bought it to replace my Microsoft mouse
- LG 18x SATA DVD burner - I kinda trust LG in DVD burners, not in airconditioners though…
- Verudium PSU - It’s pretty quiet I think. Quieter than my old set at least
The whole set up is about SG$1340 excluding my operating system. I bought Windows Vista Business for this computer, it about about SG$240 I think. Bought it for shadow copies and Virtual PC.
I’m quite happy with the buy generally. The computer hasn’t crash on me yet. No hardware failures so far. I installed all the programs back and it all boots nicely now. I just need to get my scanner working and completing my work.
My work’s kinda stuck there a little but well… never mind that.
Congrats! Always good to have new toys!

Congrats, kid.
