After my last built circa 2003. My previous system i built was high end product but now i built system that tailor my pocket this time Lol. Even tho this time i am building with a lower budget but i manage to produce a quality looking system, hooray. After I analysis my $$$ and the budget for the system. I decided to get a low end Quad Core from Intel and bundled with Intel mobo as well DG35EC. This proc that i choose might not have the bell and wistle that some one would love to have like 12mb cache and high Ghz but i am comtemplated to get this proc for mere $500, while the proc cost $700 plus that time (bought during december). Even tho its cache is only4mb with 2.33Ghz I think its bargain even now is still $600++ for this time of writing. But i rashfully acted when i buy intel mobo DG35EC for $288 while can be get at $270, initially wanting to get DG31Pr instead for $200 but since i have 4pc of 2Gb memory thinking of utilising it. But knowing that window can only support 3+gb but i still intalled 8gb into my system. I am particular happy with the system for the time being, its very elegant and classy for the exterior that i choose. Pairing Lian-Li Mid tower with Samsung 2233Sw Hd Lcd. nvm the inside but what is important is the exterior look cool and “ganas”. Lol
My system comprise of Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 paired with Intel DG35EC Mobo, equipped with 4 pieces of Kingston DDR2 667 memory and legendary Creative Audigy2 ZS Platinum Pro sound card, the drive for Os is driven by Seagate 7200.7 160gb size, I opted Samsung Dvd drive to play and burn my disc, while to power up the system i used SilverStone ST50F and to house the system I used Lian-Li PC60+ black color casing, a trully quality and classic appearance indeed. I paired the system with Samsung 2233Sw lcd with black logitech keyboard and mouse. To play the sound i choose Creative again which is I-Trigue 3300 2.1 speaker.
