My perfect pc



Coolermaster HAF 932. A full tower casing with a lot of room and a lot of potential. This casing allows me to place 2 internal power supplies. Can even support 9 120mm fans and 5+1 Hard disk drives. even enough room for a water cooling system. This is huge! Its Net Weight is 13.2 kg / 29.1 lb.






The Nvidia Geforce GTX 275. What a pretty sight. The video processor has 896mb and capable of 448bit , also has dualDVI,HDMI. Its bigger brother is times 2. Thank god they decided to use the 55nm video processor. Meaning it runs cooler then older cards like the 8800gt. Thats still using the 65nm processor.



The latest processor from AMD. Phenom II X4 905E 'Energy Saver' 2.5ghz 8mb cache Quad-Core. This new addition to the amd family uses less watts. less power doesn't mean less performance. It means better cooling with the same performance. They utilized the Intel way in this. By using a 45nm technology.


The coolermaster V8. It use to be the biggest and baddest CPU cooler on the block till the V10 came along. Heat pipes crossing through aluminum fins! Sandwiching a 120mm fan in the middle! Its like a processors wet dream! hehehehehehehhehehehe!

I'm still uncertain what monitor i want to use. Size? maybe 22inches. But i'm just wondering how it would be like to play games on a 40inch TV. Hook that up and be amazed by its awesome size! hahahahahhahah!

I'm still using this motherboard. because its still a very good board. Its compatible with new video cards and new processors. It is can us windows vista and windows 7 and i don't really want to get into the DDR3 memory modules at the moment. Once i find something better goodbye old motherboard and hello to the new one!

I currently have 3 hard drives that i am using on my PC i will just transfer those over and with the cooler master power supply. since the HAF 932 can handle 2 power supplies. I will just add a generic 500 watt power supply on a daisy chain and just split all the power between the 2 power supplies.

The Gamer's Life

The life of a gamer is a hard one. Between the risk of getting carpel tunnel syndrome and loosing your eye sight and the occasional upgrade for better parts for your PC (aka. your rig). Burning that hole in your wallet to get that PC part you have been waiting for. Or sometimes pre-order that game you have been waiting for since last year. Its one of those hobbies that are expensive to keep.


But you still keep doing it. Just wanting to immerse yourself in some fantasy. Some people have movie marathons. I have gaming marathons.


During 2009 alone, I might have accumulated around 300GB of games alone. If that's not a addiction i wouldn't know what is. But playing these games is great and safe. Being able to go through the jungles of the amazon. Or having a Dog fight over Russia's capital city during the 1940's. The different genre's they have for gaming will suit who are.


FPS (first person shooter) , RPG (role playing games) , RTS (real time strategy) even the most interesting of genre, the god game. Now most game developers have did a combination of these genres to leave you on the edge of your seat at times. Because it feels like that your really in the game and that you are that person saving the universe from utter disaster.


Game companies are improving the standards of the quality of the games. Just playing a hi def game on the highest settings requires a lot of powerful hardware and cooling. You have a wide variety of companies to choose from. Making the right choice pays off in the long run. But making the wrong choice you might end up. Upgrading your parts every couple of months.


So good luck in your gaming adventures and have fun.
