Finally decided to move on from my 8 year old home-built PC, which is still soldiering on, but doesn't pack the punch that it used to. (Pentium 4 2.0 GHz)

I ordered a refurb'd Asus desktop from Newegg. Core i7 920 (2.67 GHz), 9GB DDR3.

This thing is INSANELY fast! Just figured I'd share. The refurb was a great value if you're the type who can manage their software and hardware well.


Edit: Still more left if anyone's interested. It's particularly cheap since it's got Vista, but I've already gone to Win7 on it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...0-051-_-Product

 

Congrats. I'm not sure exactly what you got, other than a new computer, but enjoy it.

 

I'm due for an upgrade....I usually build my boxes, but I'll but a prefab this time. I want something with 7 on it already...

 

ooooh i've been itching to build an I7 beast for over a year now.
I just haven't found the reason to justify doing it.

 

Wow, that is a good price for everything included in that.
