Wow, haven't updated this blog for so long already. For those who didn't know, I actually spent the second half of 2009 in the US. Got lucky to be sent for assignment there for 6 mths by Intel.
And the best thing about the US? Shopping for PC stuff!! :)So, a Happy 2010 to all of you out there. This year, I've decided to start a new PC project on my current system. Manage to buy my X58 system and all the cool watercooling stuff from US to kick the project off. Why older Bloomfield system instead of newer Lynnfield? I'm waiting for the next gen Gulftown 6-core processor tha tis going to be a drop in replacement for X58 boards (probably still needs a BIOS update).
I'll be going for a black/red theme for my PC. First off, a paint job will be needed for the internals of the HAF932 I'm currently using. Secondly I've carefully selected the below upgrade components to go with the black/red theme:
- EVGA X58 SLI LE
- Core-i7 965 3.2Ghz @ 4.2Ghz
- OCZ GOLD 6GB DDR3 1600Mhz 8-8-8-12 1.65V
- 1.5TB WD Caviar Green
- 2x XFX Radeon 5770 Crossfire (Factory OC)
