Nothing Too Much Just Out Of Sight

4 DAYS OF CLINICALS REMAINING!

So I took the plunge and ordered a new computer. I was playing around my different builds, trying to squeeze an component here and there. It was made a bit easier when when my dad offered to get me a 22inch LCD monitor for Christmas. Dunno which one to get yet. I'll probably be hitting the net for reviews and maybe a quick visit to MSY to see their pricelist.

Computer specs
CPU: Intel Core2Duo E8400 3.0Ghz
RAM: 2Gb DDR2
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L
HDD: 500GB
VID CARD: ATI Radeon HD4850
CASE: Antec 300
PSU: Antec EarthWatts 500W
OS: Vista 32-bit
Total cost: $1284

I probably could have stretched for Vista 64-bit to use the full 4Gb, but my budget was as flexible as a rock. I might chuck another gig of ram in at a later date. The total cost was a bit high, although I could have lowered it if I bought and assembled the parts myself. But I'm a bit lazy to do that, and finding all the cheapest parts on the net and buying them. Meh. Still, I think it's a nice well balanced computer. The salesperson didn't know if they had the mobo in-stock, and said they might replace it for a similar spec'ed mobo. Well as long as it doesn't cost much more, I'm fine with that.

As for clinicals, I'm so happy that its almost over. Time for a real break soon. The Cabramatta place was not bad and I did quite a variety of x-ray projections so my meagre knowledge has increased.

Now to start backing up my files...
