Computer Fun

, ,

Not long after I bought my first computer I bought a book called, "Hacking Window XP" that had a bunch of customization, tweaks, and modifications for XP computers. I love all the different ideas and hints that I got from it. I learned a valuable lesson though- be careful when messing with .dll files. You can really mess your system up. :lol:

Now that I've got my Vista machine, I thought I'd check out the book he did for Vista. In the process, I came across his websites that he'd done for both books Tweaks.com. I haven't killed my computer after changing the log on screen or the visual style, so I must be doing OK. :lol:

I'll post some better pictures at a later date, but here's what I've done so far to it.

The Beast

Alright, it's time to post pictures of my new computer. :smile: I've taken to calling it "The Beast" and anyone that's ever read or watched X-Men can likely figure out why. :lol:

Tomorrow, Tomorrow

I'm anxiously waiting tomorrow evening. You might be asking, "Now what's so special about tomorrow night? Yes, it's Friday, but it can't be that special." Tomorrow morning I'll be getting the OS (Operating System) for my new computer that I built. I'll be able to attempt to install everything tomorrow night after work. :headbang: I'm pretty pyched about this. I've never built a computer before, so for me this is a wonderful experience. Much thanks to a certain person (Never said otherwise, so what the hell. Thanks for the help Ripp. :D) for giving me a hand with it. I probably could have done it by myself, but it's much better and likely won't blow up with help. You told me what I needed and some issues that I'll probably have, as well as how to resolve them. I'll post pictures of my pretty new machine after I've got it up and running with minimal problems. Now for the specs:
ASUS motherboard
NVIDIA graphics card
2 gb of RAM
500 GB hard drive
Intel Core Duo processors
Windows Vista Ultimate
Zephyr power supply unit
Rosewill case

I believe it'll be a gem. :love:
