Back to the computer part again...went to my first computer show in many years today. Realized I'm not missing much anymore. It felt like a flea market of people trying to get rid of old stuff. Only two vendors had any newer systems. Didn't stay there long, but decided to look on newegg this evening to see what I could build a system for myself.
Here is what I came up with.
Rosewill Conqueror RPS-01-WB500P Triple 120mm Fans Steel ATX Mid tower Computer Case with 500W Power Supply
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA
SAPPHIRE 100283-2L Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model
Intel Core i7-860
GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD4P LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard w/ USB 3.0 & SATA 6 Gb/s
Total after shipping comes in at just under $900. I think all I am missing is a DVD drive, but I can take that from my old machine.
Now I just have to decide if I should pull the trigger, and if I want to spend the time building this myself.
