It needs to be a week later! Now!


I am waiting for my tax return to buy the parts to finish my computer! Sadly I have all of two parts so far. My Antec 900 case (seen above) and a power supply.

My obsessive personality is making this pure hell for me. Every day I pick out different parts. I vacillate over spending more money or which DDR memory to pick or what color scheme to try to go by (yeah I am sick.)

So here is what I picked out tonight...

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775

This board is awesome at a really low price. It has the same chip sets as most boards up to 200$. It supports a lot of memory (16gig) and it just looks cool. I hear its easy to Overclock on it too, though im not really sure if I will be messing with that.

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775

Pretty much the cheapest Quad Core on the market by Intel. I don't really trust AMD and for no good reason (I'm just crazy). I am a little hesitant to go with Dual Core, lol what if I missed out on something because I didn't go quad!

Video Card: ASUS ENGTS250 DK/HTDI/1GD3 GeForce GTS 250 1GB

This card looks hot! I just had a scary thought though. The memory on it is DDR3 what if my mobo wont run it because of that? Maybe im just being crazy. But it totally looks hot, awesome stats and the fan should keep it very cool.

Memory: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) x2

I think that this will cover all my memory needs (maybe overkill).

Other than that im going with a 500g HD and a DVD burner, yawn.

But I can't ******* wait!

About Me

I am 22, or 35. I am a Tiger after all :P

I am a gay male, but that in no way defines me. I think the word "Selfish" would work better. I love to be creative and crazy but usually I just sit around reading and playing video games. I play Dungeons & Dragons and I am the Dungeon Master! I also play World of Warcraft, though I am on hiatus. Otherwise I play a lot of RPGs like Final Fantasy, Xenosaga and most any Square Enix game.

I like to write too. I really suck at it, but if anyone ends up reading this maybe they can tell me. I want to write on par with Carol Berg, Robert Jordan and Tad Williams. So far I just have a ton of ideas and ramblings that don't really add up to much.

I also love Gundam. I really like the UC universe. One day I hope to learn how to use the Lightwave program so I can create my own Mobile Suits. That would also end up here. I have a crazy idea that they should make a Gundam show about a universe/s that has nothing to do with Earth. It would leave a lot open to work with plot and variaty of races, Mobile Suits and Factions.

Other than that I want to build computers. My income tax return is coming in soon and when it does im buying all the parts from New Egg. And I found a very awesome and helpful forrum giving me advice on parts and possibly over clocking.

Anyways I think that this is enough rambling.

My Very First Blog Post



This is my very first blog post ever. And my inspiration for this was actually a tv show. I was bored today and I turned on the television to the first interesting thing I saw, which happened to be Build it Bigger. It was very interesting about some Chinese sky scraper that would be the biggest ever built. I could not really pay that much attention to what the host talking about, I just kept staring at his face.

So I went online and found the shows web site and got pissed because it never showed his last name. Then I got smart and I tried Wikipedia. Turns out his name is Danny Forster.

He was very cute up in the sky scraper freaking out about the height.

(Losing his confidence)
Bye :P
