A busy Day!!
Well, today was a fun day for me. I got a lot done and I bought a lot of stuff. I ordered all of the pieces to build a PC (computer) on Tuesday, well, almost all the pieces. In all of the excitement I forgot to order a case, so I ordered that this morning. Anyway, a lot of the other things that I ordered came today. Here are some pictures of them.
For anyone interested I will give a quick rundown of what I ordered at the end of this post. I also bought a desk which you can see in the picture of the monitor and speakers. I used the iMac that I have here right now to test the speakers and monitor, both work well althought the iMac will not display in full resolution on the external monitor. I also got a chance to work in the garage today. I spent most of the time unpacking boxes of tools and other garage stuff and putting the tools on my pegboard. Here is a picture of everything I have up there right now.
I still have a long way to go, but at least I am making some progress. I sure am glad I went with the full 8' pegboard instead of doing 6' like I considered!
Alright, here is the rundown of what I bought.
- Cooler Master Centurion 5 Case
- DFI Lanparty UT nF4 Ultra Motherboard
- AMD Athlon 64 3200+ CPU
- Radeon X600 Pro Video Card
- 2x 512mb Kingston PC3200 Ram
- Maxtor 300Gb SATA Hard Drive (16mb cache)
- Maxtor 80Gb ATA 133 Hard Drive
- Ben Q DVD RW burning drive w/lightscribe
- Lite On DVD Rom Drive
- Sabrent 42 in 1 Card Reader
- Logitech LX 300 Cordless Keyboard and Mouse
- Logitech X230 Speakers w/subwoofer
- Westinghouse 17" LCD Monitor
I am excited to get the rest of the pieces so that I can put this thing together and start learning about PC's. I bought this so that I could go to school and hopefully earn a degree in computer networking and that type of thing. I am excited to start learning!!

Wow, you have alot of tools.
I tried reading the list of computer stuff you bought...but I got bored. I do like the word "motherboard" though, it's funny. So where did you put your new desk, is it in your big hallway/small room with your other desk?
DANG!
Wow! That garage looks great -- a lot like my dad's. You're not allowed to see ours, and Aaron is not allowed to see yours because he would be too jealous!
I started reading your list too but then I just decided that if desk was on that list then I wasn't going to speak to you anymore. How dare you blow off our wonderfully laid out plans to make millions, just so you can get a degree!
Wait, wait, wait.. Learning? And Zachary?!? And....... Excited?!? HOW can this BE!!?!
Cool. Here's a list of what I bought.
Good luck, Dude.
Are you going to school soon??
Sweet Computer. I couldn't figure out all the jibberish you had on that list but I gathered that you got the dual disk drive. You have the same sound system as I do. The sub makes a huge difference. I have never been "excited" to learn but if it makes you money in the long run than I can see why you are enthusiastic.
