I finally built myself a new computer. So far I’m more than happy with it, and have just been configuring things how I like them and testing out a couple of games. I am, of course, afraid to get too involved in any games with the schedule I have lately…especially ones like World of Warcraft. Anyway it’s running one of the new(er) Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfendale processors and a pretty decent NVIDIA video card that happens to be gigantic. Case is an Antec Sonata III and I’m happy with it.

One thing I’m really impressed with is the onboard sound quality. My old computer was about 6-7 years old custom-built (Athlon XP 1.6GHz, GeForce Ti-4400, EPoX 8KHA+ motherboard, etc.), so I really noticed a huge difference in the sound quality even with my low-quality speakers. And, now, I don’t have to close every single application that is open when I want to play a game.

The plan is to turn my old box into a fileserver for my dad’s business.

Other than that, my schedule has been super busy. I bought an organizer to replace my Moleskine pocket notebook to-do lists, and have been trying to keep on top of my tasks.
