Built a new computer
Here's the specs:
-8gb ram
-3rd gen intel core i5 3.4 gigahertz
-CD/DVD Drive (I ripped this out of my current computer, the one I'm not replacing, because none of the drives in the other computer were sata)
-Nvidia geforce gtx550 ti 1gb
-60gb solid state drive (for booting)
-1tb hard drive (not in yet, need to take it out of the old computer)(for media)
-500gb (i think) hard drive (not in yet)(for files and non-media)
-video capture card (not in yet, the media center we were gonna hook it up to got destroyed in the hurricane)
-3 fans on case 1 of them has LED
I put it together myself because my dad was in Florida. Haven't booted it yet, waiting for my dad to get back and look it over.

It was $600. I didn't pay for it though- my dad did. We got tons of deals. I guess I could have afforded it, but honestly I'm fine not having my own computer. Anyways, I'll probably be the only one who uses it everyday.

Re: Built a new computer
I should really, really start putting together the other computer downstairs now.
Mainly because dad says I can install linux on the old one when I'm done.

Re: Built a new computer
My dad got home from Florida and we booted it up. It kept crashing after a few seconds. Eventually we got it onto the BIOS setup screen. Everything was okay for a little but then it crashed. After an hour or so we finally got to windows boot. After it had prepared the files we got BSOD. I did some googling and found it was a memory error. We took out a stick of RAM and then it booted properly. Now we only have 4gb ram. We will probably return the other stick.

Re: Built a new computer
What version of Windows is it running?
If you want something to do while Scratch is down, check out tbgs.tk! It's the new version of the (closed) Scratch TBGS, run by Scratchers! I'm going to spend most of my time there, anyway.

They're metrofying everything. D:
Pretty nice computer. You need a replacement for the broken RAM stick badly, though.

I got it to work. When my dad got home it put one stick in a different slot. Later I put it back like I had it and it works.

I actually have no idea how we got it. I don't think it hasn't even been released to the public yet.
But its probably going to be released before 2013 so parents can get it for their college kids.
