Thanks for holding My money IRS! I got a new PC!

Just a quick post to let everyone know that my old PC held up its end of our bargain and stayed completely functional until this fine day when I purchased the computer you see here; the Gateway DX4200-09. It’s not a monolithic black box and it doesn’t have glowing blue LEDs or a window to see inside like my old PC, it’s just new and runs great.

Maxx is the one that built that old PC of mine, way back in 2004. It was a different time then, a time when PC games simply had to be played and their releases actually meant something. It was also the heyday of blue LEDs and dazzling USB 2.0 performance. Since then it’s been my hands more than my aging hadware that put an end to my PC gaming. Things have finally improved, though, and I just may be able to WASD it up for a little longer nowadays. The new PC helps too.

I wasn’t looking for a monster gaming rig since most of what I wanna play is from 2004 anyways (I have a burning desire to replay Freedom Fighters) and I didn’t have a whole lot to spend from my tax return, so I’m more than happy with the bundled Radeon HD 3200 card. It’s allegedly not very powerful but CanYouRunIt.com says I meet the requirements for Crysis so by God I’m gonna give the demo a shot. Then maybe I’ll finally break down and install Max Payne 2 and crank up the debris sliders like it’s 2004 again!

After all that I’ll get back to copying over all my music/pictures/files, reorganizing my hard drive, adjusting to Vista and trying out stupid Gadgets and finally get back to posting! Cya in a month! Umm, just kidding.
