FINALLY! At long last, I have acquired all of the necessary components for assembling my new PC, GM-KHmI ("Kwagwarroughurgh" for short.) I had gone a few priority changes during the process, one major change would be my opting for a dual-core setup to take advantage of future MS OS Vista's threading features and beef up multitasking. Since I tend to run many high-end apps simultaneously, I believe it was necessary.
In a nutshell, though, I was able to gather enough hardware to Vista-proof my potential desktop. Here's the basic spec sheet:
I'm pretty much set for now with this solid base. I've still got to get the wireless keyboard and mouse, TFT monitor and speakers, but I'm good to go otherwise (I've got an old, squishy PS/2 keyboard to take care of the BIOS setup).
I'll post pictures of it once complete. Any suggestions? Comments? Likewise? Otherwise? Go right ahead.
