It came!

[gouldy]

Some of you may be pleased (although not half as much as me) to know that my new computer arrived today while I was at work and if I may say so myself ........ FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

It actually looks awesome, the tower is really cool looking, as is the monitor. I will be setting it up sometime this week, it may have to be the weekend, what with work and a wolves match on friday night. Is it not slightly unfortunate, perhaps even a little ironic, that I've had my current computer for years while I've had time to use it, although not been able to use it as it's pure shite, and now when I finally get my new computer, I have just the same week started at a job that takes up 11 hours of my day? Ahwell, that's life *sigh*.

I have to get a couple of things off this computer onto a zipdrive or a pen-drive or something, to transfer onto my new computer, but I have to wait for my mom to bring one home from her school, I hope to CHRIST that she brings one home tomorrow .

I am actually really rather excited about this, as you can imagine, I can't stop jumping around haha.

Also, I probably won't be around the site for a couple of days after I actually set up the new computer, as MOTHER has lost the BT disk, so I won't be able to install broadband. We are however getting a wireless internet network installed, for which we will recieve a new BT disk , my mom is ordering the wireless network as I write this, so it shouldn't be too long in the waiting.

Anyway, I have rambled on long enough so I will stop now and return to jumping around the room and admiring my new computer [:)] heh heh.

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I cant wait to get to ride one of your tracks made on a decent computer! And i cant wait until you can talk for longer than half an hour on msn without one of us getting disconnected. lol.

good to hear your pc is in gouldy. Take a few photo's from your pc. [:)] Since you say it looks soo awesome, i wanna see it [:)]

Anyways, congrats on the comp, I wish I could get something like that. (but then again, I'd rather not have to for years put up with a pile of crap that crashes everytime you load the calculator)

I just opened the box with the speakers in it, and one of them is HUGE!!!!

Someone asked if it's alienware, well it's not, basically because for what it is, alienware is very expensive, Ithis computer is expensive too, but for the same specs on alienware, I would have been paying a lot more money

I connected my computer to my stereo system, now that is a huge speaker, and then also six of them[;)].

YAY GOULDY GOT A NEW COMPUTER!!! now you can make a ride and see what it acctully feels like! and just yea i cant wait to see your future rides now!

This computer should be the start to a new age of Goudy rides. And yes I do sound like some guy filming a documentary.

[coolbeans326]

ooh, that computer sucks, take it back![lol]

That computer seems excessive. Are you editing video and doing 3d animations or working with NoLimits?! lol

I still love alienware but sounds like u got lucky in getting this

Bit expensive for what you can find online...but I guess it's the UK...right? You shoulda just built it yourself...lol, easy for me to say :p Do you know waht power supply it has?

Finally!
