Finished my first homebuilt PC

73h n3wbc4nn0n · 09-22-04, 08:38 PM

I finished my first homebuilt computer and overclocked my CPU to 2.4GHz, I'm in the process of figuring out how to maximize my videocard.

It's probably not a very big achievement, but I'm proud.

Well looks like you picked good components, and I'm not too sure on 3000+ OC's but that seems pretty decent, nice job! And don't forget to OC your vid card as that's a huge performance increase for games!

oh, and

President Obama ordered the cabinet to cut $100 million from the 3.5 trillion federal budget. I'm so impressed by this sacrifice that I have decided to do the same thing with my personal budget. I spend about $1,000 a month in household expenses, but it's time to get out the cutting axe. I'm going to cut my spending at exactly the same ratio! It looks like instead of spending $1,000 a month, I'm going to have to cut that number by three cents. Yes, I'm going to have to get by with $999.97, but that's what sacrifice is all about. I'll just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries – three cents worth.
