Oh, the Antec 900. Feel the black steel

Yeah, okay. I've gone to the dark side. They had cookies. And better computers. Here are the specs:

Antec 900 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower computer Case

Asus P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.6 GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

Asus EN9800GTX+ DK/HTDI/512m GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Antec Signature SG650 650W ATX12V/EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

OCZ Fatal1ty Edition 8 GB (4 X 2GB) 240-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PS2 8500)

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU cooler

Western Digital Caviar SE16 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s HD

MS Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit English for System Builders


And there's a Phillips DVD burner going into the new rig, and my regular keyboard, and a new trackball mouse, the new headset that Sis & Shawn got me for my birthday to use for Vent.


The old system? Being converted into a Linux box, and I'm signing onto the Fresno Linux group, as I'll be needing to learn it, and that's the fastest way I can think of. Guess it's time to embrace my inner geek, and accept that I truly do want to be educated about some things in a more technical fashion.

But that computer's gonna be sweet. Will post pics once I have it up and running. Rest of the parts will be here Monday. Only the case is here so far.
