Bits and bobs, but the major bits are;
i7 930 2.8 cpu
6 gb DDR3 ram
Ati HD5850 vid card
1Tb Hard dive
23' Samsung LED
What on earth do you need that kind of machine for?
With upcoming stuff in my life, this is going to be my last pc for a very very very long time.
I need something that's going to see me 6-7 years into the future. Plus I can afford it right now.
That's not how you manage your finances. Looking 6-7 years into your future is silly.
Just buy shit as soon as you feel the impulse to and if you accumulate too much debt then you sell drugs.

I actually thought it was a fairly conservative pc, I always buy the second best of everything when I get new kit.
and it's still about half the price of a mac pro.

Someday I would like the whole stereotype of going to art school being some sort of waste to end.
Most of the time I just roll my eyes but buh, just a little annoyed.
A lot, if not most, of Western societies have come to value practical fields and thereby devalue the humanities because they can't quantify the benefits of the humanities.
I have never actually encountered that opinion except from myself talking about my own experiences.
Art translates to all kinds of awesome, credible jobs that everyone I've spoken to has understood, even old timers. Entertainment like movies and video games and comics are so ubiquitous that people seem to understand the cool illustration jobs connected to them!
But come on History what's up with that. What are you going to do work in a history factory ?!???

It's because art doesn't make the world go round, no like doctortiers, financiers or chocolatiers.

I'm talking more about the fact that science and engineering get very solid funding while art and music funding gets slashed left and right.
And what's the use of history? Seriously? Do you value memories?

It's really damn sad and I wish it would change.
Its also a hold over from the whole 'starving artist' thing.
There are more varieties of ways to make money from art than ever before, but seemingly the stereotype of bohemian wastrels doing drugs, fucking everything that moves, draft dodging dens of iniquity feeding off of welfare while making paintings with menstrual blood is still the primary vision of 'artist' in modern culture.
Yeah, a lot of people don't understand the arts. I have friends that would like to see the entire arts budget scrapped from the government as it's "not necessary". Then when I argue against that they say I'm just biased.

What are you going to do with History are you going to become a history consultant and help people fix their history??? haha I don't think so.
I was going to become Indiana Jones, until I found out that archeologists are actually boring neckbeards who sleep next other neckbeards in the desert for 12 months at a time and talk about pottery.
Mine is the origin of the universe but I don't know I could probably be swayed to something cooler like the american revolution or the invention of jetpacks.

Pfft, dinosaurs just confirmed the non-existence of dragons. I say fuck dinosaurs!
Is it supposed to be a C or a Q in barbe-ue? All my concentration would have been devoted to just pondering that and everyone would have to eat charred shish kebab.

I rue the day I was born, apart from being born everything else completely sucked. Some guy in a white coat smacked my ass so hard that I couldn't walk for a whole year afterwards.

The meat goes on the hot bit.
I'm not joking either, the point of an Australian barbecue is to crucify the living shit out of everything and then put onions and tomato sauce (ketchup) on top.
I am not a fan.
Ketchup belongs on burgers, fries and maybe hotdogs (if that's your thing).
But real barbecue? Like slow smoking over applewood or hickory? No, you keep the ketchup away.

This is what I love about building PC's
What was that modeling program that they use in Japan (but nowhere else I guess) that uses curved frames rather than polygonal ones?

So I killed them.
We can still do this though right?
Hell its what I do.
They just shouldn't ASSUME I do :x

more like analyze how that one economic/social crisis happened, look for the precursors, and make sure it never happens again
or hey
preserving the story of humanity
that's important to some people
But seriously history is stupid and no one cares about it.
I have had a stressful day
they left me in charge of the barbecue and it took a lot of concentration not to fuck everything up
That's all I need to say.
hurrah!
Mine is the origin of the universe but I don't know I could probably be swayed to something cooler like the american revolution or the invention of jetpacks.
My Birth.
Duh.
Mmmm.
Although, I currently live in North Carolina who believe that barbecue means dousing it in vinegar. No thanks.
it's regional or something
I've been taught barbecue and BBQ for short
I've seen barbeque used as well
I hope you have a happy birthduh this year.

Yessssss!
hey how do you Aussies barbecue? do you marinade? what kind of sauce do you eat it with?

never tried ketchup on barbecue though
EDIT: Though according to the intertron your ketchup is somewhat thinner and less sweet than our sauce.
But real barbecue? Like slow smoking over applewood or hickory? No, you keep the ketchup away.
