No, I'm not that skilled. lol I am selecting the components though, but I think I'll get the shop to put it together. I want a computer that can do some 3-d rendering with ease. Also it seems unless you have a pretty nice setup you might as well forget about running vista smoothly.
I *hate* running vista on my gf's laptop. SOOOO slow. *edit* Woohoo, 500th post in this thread!! *edit* IronWorker |
i have not tried vista on my new box yet. but it was kinda slow on my old one...but now i've got 4 times the ram and and a faster processor.

I'm looking to buy a system that will last me hopefully 4 years so I can justify the $.
I'm going with 4GB RAM for sure, I'm thinkin a quad core processor... the Intels are nice and faster but the AMDs are quite a bit cheaper. So I'm still on the fence there. I'll probably go with 1TB of storage so I know I'll have enough. I'm going with a good video card (512mb min.. not sure which yet). Also I'm probably going for the 22in wide monitor and maybe if I keep my old I can keep it for a 2nd.... lol But ya, thats neither here nor there. lol IronWorker |
I run an older AMD dual core,does the job nicely,runs vista ultimate no probs.Highly reccomend them.

Deads -60kg x 5 -80kg x 4 -100kg x 3 -120kg x 1 -140kg x 1 -160kg 2x1 -165kg x 1 (old PR) Pretty happy about this outcome. Makes me pretty confident that I should be able to hit 170kg next week. DE Parallel Box Squats -bar x 5 -95lbs x 5 -115lbs x 3 -135lbs x 3 -155lbs 8x3 (~60%) I worked out pausing on the box and allowing my weight to fully sit onto the box. This made a huge difference. I could definately feel the muscles activating on the acceleration out of the hole. Planks front plank - 1:15 min side plank - 60s each front plank - 1:15min side plank - 60s each Side planks are killer! Oblique Work - Cable Twist 3x10 - 40lbs, 45lbs, 50lbs Will go a little heavier next time. Thougths The workout went pretty well today I thought. Side note: I bought a computer after work today. Here are the specs: -Intel Q6600 2.4GHz Core 2 Quad processor -4GB DDR2 Ram -ASUS Mobo, GB Lan, Firewire, etc etc -750GB Hard-drive -20x DVD burner w/ lightscribe -Geforce 9800GT 512mb graphics card -22" widescreen monitor Should work well for me I believe. It will definately kick the ass of my old computer. Here it is to compare: -2.9Ghz Single core intel -160GB HD -512mb DDR RAM -no graphics card -17" LCD IronWorker |
You should get a splitter and use both monitors. :) That's what I'll do when I end up building my computer. Definitely worth it IMO...
|
I was thinking about that actually. I might as well now as I have a 17" LCD just sittin around.
|
i got lucky when i built mine...i got a buddy that works for a company that designs rugged servers for the military...so i got a free WD 500 gig hard drive, and 4 gig of ram for the small price of free :)

Shocks, pegs,... lucky!

Weight: 183.8lbs ME DB Bench Press -22.5lbs x 8 -30lbs x 5 -40lbs x 5 -50lbs x 3 -60lbs x 3 -70lbs x 3 -75lbs x 5 -80lbs x 3 -70lbs x 5 Upped the weight a bit on DBs this time. I should probably make lots of PRs with this since I have never really done them heavy before. How much should a guy be DB pressing compared to BB? BB Push Press 45lbs x 5 75lbs x 4 95lbs x 3 115lbs 6x3 I did mostly all CG work but I played with it a bit. My shoulder said no when I got wide so I quit that. Pull-ups bw x 3 bw + 10lbs x 3 bw + 10lbs x 3,2 bw + 10lbs x 2 bw (chins) x 4 Well my pull-ups have really fallen off lately. I have been avoiding them so I guess thats what I get. Overhead Cable Tri Extensions 40lbs x 12 60lbs x 12 80lbs x 12 100lbs x 10,8 High volume = PUMP! Feels nice. Shoulder Re/Prehab Front Raises, Standing Flys, Bent over Flys (15lb DBs 2 x 10 each) Super setted these in with tri work. Thougths Well i will continue to work DB presses as much as I can for another couple weeks for sure. Then I may try to ease back into the BB work. I thought I should mention that my new computer is sweet! I'm loving the dual monitor setup. IronWorker |
