Goodbye G-machine, Hello MoneyMaker Mach III

edited June 2008 in Social Entropy++
I finally upgraded my desktop situation - after four years with the same rig. I was beginning to be unable to run new games.

The G-machine had its final run as I transferred everything from the old HDD to the new:

How old's your machine, how often do you upgrade?

    MoneyMaker? Seriously?

    You know what a good name for a computer is?

    Computer. That, or Edwin.

    Last thing I bought for my machine was a new case and Xfire mobo as well as a phenom processor.
    I figure I'm gonna upgrade RAM and GPU this summer. Then, it'll last me until I'm out of the army in 3-4 years.

    although my old shoes which I affectionately call the Double Deucers were great, they've worn out and had to be replaced so I bought some sweet new shoes I call the Thunder From Down Under

    because I really like naming things just cause

    I bought the computer from my friend, Graham. Hence, G-machine.

    MoneyMaker I have no excuse for. Besides being a huge faggot, I mean.

    I had pulled anything useful out of it and then realized i actually still needed some of the junk on my old HDD (porn), so hooked just enough up to run it one last time and get it off.

    I just got four gigs of siiiiiick fucking ram, and the heatsinks on it were pink.

    I can probably find a link for it if you want.

    I should probably buy myself a Block/tower CPU cooler, but they're pretty expensive...
    Also, my case is decent, although it doesn't really have much in the way of dust filters, so I have to clean it when I get home.

    Also, fighting filipino, that thing is tidy.
