Hi, isn't this a nice desktop?

Wow, I haven't made a post for almost a month... Not that I didn't want to but I have been busy configuring my new desktop computer :P Now you must have guessed that I have finally got a mac but you are wrong :P After much thought I stayed with PC for one more round. Why? Although the entry level for a mac is not that expensive, but when you think that you can get much better specs with a PC, you will give it a second thought.

However, after I have watched the presentation about the new APIs and technologies of the new Mac OS X, Leopard, at WWDC 2006 for developers (you can download it via iTunes for free if you are a ADC member, free registration :D), I really think that the coming Vista is going to lose some share :P

Ok, now let's have a look at my new desktop PC, which has the following specs:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
Memory: PC6400 1GB x 2
Motherboard: ASUS P5B-V
Graphics: Intel G965 Express on-board
OS: Windows XP MCE

Well, these are about all that you need to know :) Now please look at some pictures :D

I will try to make some tutorials on how to make your Windows desktop look that way when I find the time. Since it is not exactly that hard, maybe you can just google the keywords yourself and get yourself up and running :P

Till then.
