First '02 specfest !!!!!!!!! Let's get it on !

Post by VidmanII »

Ok you mugz. Break it out . You know, all the after X-mas configs etc. I know some of you guys got some new stuff during the holidays and seeing as I'm too broke to pay attention let alone buy any new stuff, I want to see what all the hot rodders are using here in JAN ' 02.

I'll be upgrading prolly around May so I wanna see the good and the bad that is out there NOW ! My stuff is old and it's in my sig so consider that my entry.

In fact, let's make this a charity thread for my new upgra......aww never mind. :D

Your stuff is old?! Your running a above 1.4 on both machines! I'd say that is above average... ...well, here is my system. I actually don't have the hard drives yet, but I'm in the process of saving up. My next paycheck should do it so I'll have 'em soon.

Just curious chotto...why the Zen? I've heard only bad things about it (expensive, hard to attach, cools like crap).
