Technology strikes again...

A couple of weeks ago my old PC decided that it didn't like to boot into windows after turning it off for the first time in over four months. Windows had failed me once again and needed to be reinstalled... or so I thought. Attempting to reinstall windows became futile since the CD kept craping out trying to read certain files. This situation called for drastic measures...

Determining that maybe purchasing just WindowsXP would just be stupid since I had 1700$ set aside for a new PC in the future. I decided to finally put the old PC to rest and upgrade massively.

So... what did 1700$ purchase.

ASUS Crosshair Mother Board
AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+

Creative Sound Blaster Fatality

and Windows XP.
