WOOT! PC Upgrade

At long long last, I got an upgrade on my rig.

For a decent deal of Php14k, I was able acquire the following:
  • A-bit A17, semi-modded with additional heatsinks on the caps and such
  • Intel Prescott 3.2e
  • Zalman aluminum-copper heatsink fan (Them prescott's are notoriously hot)

All I have to do now is pickup my RAM reformat and I should be good for another 2 years.

By the time I'm done I should have the following:

  • Lian-Li PC-06 (old casing)
  • HEC 475w (old PS)
  • Abit A17 (2nd hand)
  • Intel 3.2E (2nd hand)
  • Radeon 9800 pro (2nd hand)
  • 1GB/2GB Twinmos DDR400 (haven't decided)
  • 1x 80GB + 1x 40GB ATA HDD (old drives)
  • Soundblaster Audigy (old card)
  • Zalman Heatpipe on my 9800 (2nd hand)
  • Zalman Heatsink fan on the Mainboard/Proc (2nd hand)
  • Standard dual optical DVD-R and CD-RW (old opticals)

Pretty basic but more than enough for my habits. All in all, I would have gotten a vidcard/mem/board and proc upgrade for only Php 25,000. Given the Zalman's and specs? Not bad at all.
