IT'S ALIIIIIIVE

Finally got all the pieces together to replace my 6-year-old PoS Dell Desktop. It served me extremely well, but it's time to retire. And now, the moment you've all (or at least I've) very much been waiting for!!!

Dude, I TOTALLY had flashbacks to my old box (blue cathode, black case, similar window). That said, those specs are fucking unbelievable. I'm so yoinking it when you're not lookin Tut.

[jackalopemonger]

All that pretty in a single box, and you're installing Windows on it? :-P

[marlfox]

What else would you install on a gaming PC?

[jackalopemonger]

Depends on the games I planned to play. I'd want to be able to use OS X when I wasn't gaming, so I'd probably use Boot Camp for the Windows-only games, run everything else on the Mac platform.

[marlfox]

Yeah but then I'd have to have an Apple product on my nice clean computer. I really dislike Apple's superiority complex and ridiculous prices, not to mention OS X. I gave it a chance, tried using it for work for awhile because I wanted to be familiar with it. After a couple days I got so sick of it I started bringing my Vista/Ubuntu laptop every day. I'll be dual-booting Windows and Ubuntu if anything. Mac and me don't get along.

So now that you have a machine that is more in the modern age, when are you gonna throw down some Orange Box action?

[marlfox]

Picked it up today and just finished installing it! I seem to be having trouble running Portal though, so I'm going to try to get that hashed out. Will let you know.

[mad___skillz]

Well, hook me up with your steam username so we can kick some ass in TF2. Mine's TC-Atsuko.

[marlfox]

The old one wasn't. This is a whole new compy, case and all.
