Introduction

"Ignorance is bliss." What a fallacy. We all love knowing things. Random facts, like how to put together a computer, or how Pop-Tarts are made, are something that many of us take pride in. And who knows more random, useless facts than your average nerd?

Some exciting news!

My birthday was Wednesday. In addition to being treated to a wonderful dinner by my loving parents, I was also given a nice, strong custom gaming computer. While I already have an article written up for building a computer, it was using very old computer parts. With my new computer, I will more easily be able to show you just how easy computer building is nowadays. Keep an eye out for part 2 of the guide, coming soon!


For those of you that care, here are my computer's specs, along with a picture:

Motherboard: ASUS M4N68T-M
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 840 @ 3.2 GHz)
RAM: Kingston 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 RAM @1600 MHz
Video Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 460 1GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
PSU: OCZ ModXStream PRO 500W
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)




In case you're wondering, yes, I put it together myself. I would never claim to be a nerd while buying a pre-made computer!

  1. "Loving"? Meh, okay, in this instance, they were both loving... Oh, and... "YES, I want it to glow blue! Why would I not?" classic...
