A small upgrade

Rebel_Rouser · Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2005 1:13 pm Post subject: A small upgrade

Well it all started with a new graphics card, but that needed another thing which needed another thing which turned out to be a small upgrade for the whole computer.... so here it is

right now my HP case is "ghettofied" front panel won't fit on etc lol

From a Geforce 5200 to the XFX Geforce 6800GT $300

(newegg.com)

From a cheap 250w ps to an Ultra 500 X-Connect ps $70 w $30 rebate

(tigerdirect.com)

From a standard HP case (14.5 by 14.5) to XION Ultimate Engineering XON-002 case $64 w $20 rebate

except mine is black and silver
(newegg.com)

here is mine (on its way)
Newegg Xion case

LOL
I already received the exact same case, and my PS (same one mind you) arrives on Monday supposedly. Didn't get the graphics card though.... I like my ATI 9800 pro.
Now, to figure out what to do with all this, will be fun, transferring everything from my HP case to my Xion one.

It is a little longer than the HP one I have atm, and it is really nicely made, imho. Also, you will like the way it slides on and off with just two thumb screws

very nice

Mine is justified as a birthday present to myself, using money (well, will be using that money as I currently took it out of my account) I am receiving for my bday from family... then going to send them pics showing them what I did with it, since normally they complain they don't know what I spend it on

Guess this means we have good taste?

heh, it all started with me just getting a video card, then I bought a powersupply, a new case, a sound card. I will probably end up getting another hard drive in the near future. Then eventually a new motherboard and processor
