New Computer!

Oh I just can't wait! Today, I ordered our NEW computer! I know I know, waste of money, coulda got it cheaper, yada yada yada. Look, Dell has a SOLID reputation, they warranty their stuff, and it doesn't matter, cause if it goes screwy, I can rebuild the thing! Fact is, we needed a new computer, the price was good, and we got everything we wanted, for LESS that we budgeted! We didn't need anything super fancy. We mostly read email, blog, and surf for porn the internet. At most, we edit a couple of pics a little, and email those on to friends and family.
So, what did we get? I am glad you asked!

A Dell Dimension 3000 P4 running at 3GHZ, 800 fsb (where the real speed comes from!), 512MB DDR-SDRAM (400MHz,) 17 in monitor, 40GB (7200RPM) harddrive (We have yet to fill the 10 GB that we have now!) with Windows XP Home Edition for our OS (spare me the Linux, Mac bullshit,) 48X max CD-RW drive (make our photo CD's!) and I got rid of the 2 yr warranty, and went with 90 days.

It ain't all tricked out, it ain't the fastest on the block, and it won't make toast, or run our household. What it will do is replace our failing, tired, old 566! Then, I can take that computer, replace the Harddrive, add a new power supply, and bump the RAM, and give it to the boy to play his educational games!

Oh, we also added a Web Cam, so we can send movies to family and friends and chat online with em!

Our NEW BABY is expected mid February!
