Da Goods

Still the same ol' 2008 mobo and RAM, with a few more upgrades:

CoolerMaster HAF932

Silverstone 1200W PSU

EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 460 GTX [stock clock]

Zalman 110mm CPU Cooler

Intel Q6600 2.4GHz [stock clock]

4G OCZ Reaper X HPC DDR2, recognized @ 2560MB

DirectX 11.0

Creative X-Fi Extreme Gamer Soundcard

Win Vista/7 Ultimate

Win XP SP3

Win 98 (!!)

Cyber Acoustics 2.1 sound sys

ViewSonic 22" 1680 x 1050 (with silly integrated webcam!)

Logitech VX Nano wireless mouse

Razer Mamba

Ideazon Merc Stealth gaming keyboard

Dell keyboard of awesome, L100

Giant ergonomic Microsoft beast keyboard

Wacom Bamboo Fun, first gen, black

Rosewill multi-card reader and floppy

Now using bias lighting with an LED strip, go me!

Downsides:

- No overclocking

- Two optical drives, no BluRay

- Oldschool DDR2!

Upgrades:

Will need to upgrade mobo sooner than later to take advantage of, oh, current times and all that. The reinstallation of the soundcard about blew my socks off. Still desire a joystick/throttle and rudder setup; wheel, pedal + clutch and stick setup; eventual new monitor
