Hey all,
I did post in the introduction thread, but everyone seems to make thier own seperate topic, so I thought I'd chance my arm and do both! Get myself out there!
Been following Tom on youtube and facebook for months now, and I find his reviews and other videos very useful and informative when it comes to myself picking new hardware. As being a student, my budget is somewhat tight!
So, the basics;
I live in the UK, and I'm currently just about to begin the second year of my Computer Science degree. Computing and Technology is something I've had a passion for since a very young age, I've been tinkering and building PCs since I was 12, so nearly 9 years ago. My first build was based around an old Celeron machine that my school had thrown out, I couldn't let it go to waste!
My current system specs are as follows :
-AMD Phenom X2 955 BE
-Thermaltake Frio HSF ( I know, I know.... got it before Tom enlightened me!)
-4GB OCZ DDR3
-MSI 880GM-E41 Motherboard
-Sapphire HD 6850 @ 890/1160
-500GB WD Blue - Boot drive - Going to replace with an SSD when budget allows.
-1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 - Used for my steam and other game installs.
-2TB Samsung Spinpoint F4 - Used for all my media storage needs.
All this is encased in a rubbish old full tower case from a friends old prebuilt, I'm currently awaiting payday so I can order myself a Fractal Arc Midi! Then my rig shall be sorted, for now at least!
I play a fair amount of videogames in my spare time, so if anyone wants to chat about gaming, or general computer chit chat - Then hook me up on steam, my username is Tenu.
Not really sure what else to put here now... so I'm gona say 'out' (Y).
See ya around.
