It finally dawned on me to put up the specs for my brand spanking new computer system that I got this past weekend. I bought it at Memory Express - which is a store I was really impressed with. The store featured amazingly good prices, friendly staff, a nice clean wide open atmosphere ... and had all the parts I wanted!

Here are the specs:

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 motherboard
Micron Original 512 MB PC 3200 DDR ram
Seagate 200 GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive
MSI NX 6600GT-TD128E video card
BenQ 16x16 DVD+/- RW DL PRO optical drive
Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu CPU cooler
Antec Sonata case with 380 watt power supply
Panasonic 1.44 floppy drive

The package cost me about $1200 canadian which is a pretty darn good price for a fairly powerful system like this one. Its not top of the line, but top of the line is not something I think I'll ever buy ... its just too expensive.

The nicest thing about this setup is its the quietest computer I have ever had. With my music on or when I'm playing a video game, the normal volume sound coming out of my speakers renders the fan noise of my computer undectectable! It is unbelievable, and something that I am so happy with for this new system. Hooray!

So that's my new system. Oh, and it runs World of Warcraft oh so nicely!
