Just got my SEXY new computer!

So, to make a long story short, when my dad passed away, he left me a whole crapload of coins. For the LONGEST time I thought they were worthless, so they were sitting in the storage shed for years. I finally got around to seeing what they were worth. So, I took them to a dealer expecting to probably get MAYBE $200. I got roughly $3000. :wtf: So...I bought my mom a pink moped (yes, yes I did.)


And I went down to Fry's Electronics and got myself an Open Box deal for a sweet little Acer Predator G5900

Specs:

Mobo Chipset: Intel H57 Express
CPU: Intel Core i7 i7-870 / 2.93 GHz
Memory: 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz
HDD: 1.5Tb x 2 (One is mine that I had from my old computer)
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5850

Extra Stuff I got:

LG Flatron IPS231 23" LED Monitor (also Open Box deal)

What's the PSU? That's very important if you want to upgrade.

And for a computer like this, replacing it instead of upgrading would practically be criminal.

As sick as this computer is, any nerd worth his salt should build his own computer.

Wow!! I have similar kinds of coins, worth a few thousand dollars. I'm not ready to part with them, though.

That's a nice deed you did for your mom, too. You are indeed a true brony. ಥ_ಥ

Meh I would but I think I won't build one until after I get a computer 3 years from now.

I'm not one for PC gaming, so this is kind of a shock, but... damn, that is a seriously sexy computer.

You are a lucky man (besides the "father passing away" part, sorry to hear about that).

You scored pretty big! Congrats!

Although, I can't help but think that if the coin dealer was willing to give you $3000 for the coin stash, they were probably worth much more than that. The dealer may have shafted you :unsure:

Any Nerd worth his salt without a 1 year old son would have built his own computer. :P

I have a very small townhouse, and a very curious little boy. Building my own PC just isn't an option right now, but upgrading it in the future may very well be. So, I bought a very customizable rig that has some balls right out of the gate.

And for everyone asking, my PSU is 750. I may get a 900 when I choose to upgrade my Graphics card.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @PandaPandel, OG 3DS is -not- fun to put back together, and that's coming from someone who at the time was pretty familiar with reassembling DS Lites. Total pain in the ass, and screws of varying length that'll poke through the face surface of the bottom half of the shell if you put the wrong screw in the wrong spot. Totally not talking from experience there, nope
