My old computer broke down about 3 weeks ago. I think it’s the power supply that’s broken. Since my old computer is almost antique I decided that I didn’t want to keep wasting money on replacing broken parts (during the last few years a part has broken at least once a year) so I decided to buy a new computer instead.

I chose a Dell XPS 420 with the following configuration:

  • CPU: Intel Q6600 Quad Core 2.40GHz
  • Video Card: 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT
  • Memory: 4 GB RAM (2×2048MB)
  • Hard Drive: 750GB Serial ATA (7200 Rpm)
  • DVD Burner: 16X DVD+/-RW
  • Sound Card: Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer
  • TV Tuner: PCIex1 card with remote control

I ordered it yesterday and to my surprise it has already been assembled and shipped! I was told that the estimated delivery date was April 25 but I hope that since is has already been shipped it will arrive much earlier.

I can’t wait!
