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.
