My New Gear!!!
Yeah, finally I got my last component and I'll be tackling this little project over the weekend. I'm talking about my new PC.
I'll be doing a major upgrade which includes:
-New ASUS P5W board
-Pentium D-960 CPU (3.6GHz)
-Corsair Dominator DDR2 (4GB Total)
-Thermaltake 775D CPU Heatsink
-2 Seagate Barracuda SATA HD (250GB each)
-650W Ultra Power Supply
-nVidia Quadro FX1700 Video Card
This baby is gonna be fast. Cant wait to get it running.
Now if only I can do something like that to my VS Ultra to take HD channels and IKS connection...lol

now that is a hotrod!!! The shear amount of apps you can run with that baby simultanously should be sick. With that heatsink you shouldn't have any problems at all.That setup will power most third world countrys but it is also illegal in 99% of them.roflmao
When you get it setup give us a review , i will probably try and con you into doing some signature mods.I like the buttons you added to yours , very cool.

I'm pretty sure I still have mine. I'm more surprised someone knew what I was talking about.

Ah yeah, the ol' Tandy PC was another top of the line in it's hey days. I never owned one but the kid next door did. He thought he was so kool with it until he turned it on, then everything around it will "act-up" TV, radios, etc. LOL......Mayor RF interference with that model.
