New Built


Black Beauty, originally uploaded by kendoman26.

It's that time again It's new computer build time. I picked up this case at Best Buy on Sunday. It's an aluminum full tower case and has room for 6 optical drives and 6 hard drives. This thing is massive. Over the next couple of months I'll purchase my parts for this system. I plan to assemble it around Memorial Day.

I may build my first dual xeon system with this case. I've budgeted 1400 dollars for this feat and it will be tight the server motherboard alone is 400 and two Intel Xeon 5405's go for 480. It's just cool to think about what 8 cores could do for me. :)

Will that help with image editing?

It can't hurt :). If orderd the rest of the build, just waiting for the parts to arrive.

It's going to use and AMD X25200+, 4GB of ram and a 500GB hard drive. I still need to pick up an optical drive and a media card reader.
