New toy in the block (2)

Nerd Public Journal?

I gave away my last desktop PC around 3 years ago, but now with many interesting things happening in the IT world for me to try, I decided to get myself a decent desktop PC as there are things that my current laptop couldn’t provide. That includes big screens and powerful processors.

 I bought one with the following spec;

  • Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 processor
  • 4GB RAM
  • GeForce 9500 GT
  • 2*1TB (RAID 1 configured) + 200GB + 160GB HDD
  • 2 * 22" LCD monitor,

hoping to do a lot of things with virtual machines that this machine should be able to run a few of them running at any one time. Maybe I need to upgrade the RAM in the nearest time.. :)

I’m not sure if it’s an overkill, but I really hope I’ll make good use of them, instead of playing games :)

Hmm, I have no lab and that actually was my living room :D Sure I’ll move them to one of my available rooms at home and make it a lab, but that’ll be a bit later.

  • ikmal: bro, kau punya 70-200mm 2.8f + VR ke ??? aku ingat 80-200mm 2.8f jer.. wow! :-)
  • Tom: Love the pics! I just replaced my D70 with a D90. It makes me feel spoiled every time I use it.
  • Low Kian Seong: Been running Fedora x64 for about 2 weeks now, so far so good. I like it.
  • shakir: I guess by now installing Linux would be a snap by your standard. Dah try latest Fedora, or Ubuntu?
