Finally, I'm going to get a new computer \m/ Because while this one was awesome 7 years ago... that was 7 years ago. So yes, with my wonderful IT grad brother's insight, the various bits have been highlighted and come to a total of around $500. And because I know the geekery among the flist will be wondering, here are said various bits. I'm just typing what he highlighted from the MSY pricelist. Haven't got a clue what most of it means. This is why I have an IT grad for a brother, yasee <3
Motherboard: ASUS P5K Pro
CPU: Intel... something. Does E5200 mean anything? I don't even know what numbers I'm looking at.
RAM: 2 gig. Which will cost half as much as the one gig I got a year and a half ago. Go figure.
Graphics Card: Nvidia 512M 9800GT ASUS thing. Apparently this is pretty awesome. Not TOTALLY awesome cos my budget won't stretch that far, but pretty awesome nonetheless.
Power supply: because mine's noisy as crap and it's not worth buying an actual box because that's purely for aesthetic value.
Grand total: $500 give or take \m/ Obviously my screen is still sexy as, ditto the tablet, keyboard, speakers, hard drive and DVD burner. All that stuff's been installed within the last three years or so, 'cept the speakers, but they don't deteriorate over time like the innards.
I figure it'll take me about four weeks to save up enough that I'll be comfortable after buying it. THEN I WILL SQUEE. And then cry when I realise all those programs I'll have to not only install but crack D: Maya especially. That took as long to install as bloody Windows did.
ANYWAY. It will be awesome and I will be squee. So yay =D
