My buddy Jarrod has been bugging the shit out of me the last few weeks because he wants a computer. Apparently I am the designated computer geek for my small circle of friends and this has put me in a precarious position. Earlier tonight he came over, mentioned the computer thang again, and me being me I finally broke down and said, "Fine, lets hook you up with a computer." He's got the money, and I got the know how. He told me what he wants his computer to do so here is what he is getting (warning: tech specs ahead).
-- Intel Core2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache,2.4GHz,1066 FSB)
-- 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1067MHz - 4 DIMMs
--nVidia GeForce GTX 280 – 1024MB
--Seagate 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache
-- Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium
-- Razer Copperhead Tempest Blue Gaming Mouse
-- MERC Stealth Gaming Keyboard
--16x DVD-ROM Drive + 16x DVD+/-RW w/ dbl layer write capable
So yeah. He wanted, he's getting. I could have went really nuts (dual GTX's anyone?) but he gave me a dollar amount and I stayed under it. Luckily he already has a monitor and a surround sound system so I didn't have to muck with those. That being said, I am hooking him up with a gaming rig that I am slightly envious of. Not tippy top of the line but still pretty damn decent. It's all good though. Someone helped me out once with a computer and now I am returning the favor.
