Hey all, I was active here on the OC Forum many moons ago. I know some, but there are a lot of new folks too. Going to try one of those build log things, but since it's not a total scratch build, I'll call it my "revamp and upgrade log" with the added benefit of being an old school project just for fun.
My current rig was rebuilt in January 2010 and still is a good computer. About 2 years ago, I upgraded the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB, along with freshening up the watercooling loop. About 3 years ago I replaced a failing hard drive. Been a good machine, specs are in my signature. Within the last couple of weeks I upgraded the vid card (previously had a HD 6950).
I have a new CPU and motherboard on order from newegg.com and tracking says it will be delivered on Monday (in 2 days).
Here's what my computer looks like on top of my military surplus desk back in my man cave.
I've had that tower for 15 years. It was part of a Swiftech Q-Power watercooling kit.
