So, I was supposed to be in Houston right now but the damage caused by hurricane Ike has put a hold on that. Now the thing is I was hoping to get some tech shopping in ( before all my Euros are gobbled up by the tax collector) while over there giving me a significant savings. Maybe this will happen next month!
So in the mean time, I am thinking of passing the time by either getting a Dell Inspirion mini9 or upgrading my home PC a bit with the following components:
- ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro - 45 CFM
- ASUS P5Q Deluxe - Chipset Intel P45 / ICH10R
- CRUCIAL Ballistix - 4 Go ( 2*2G ) - PC6400 - 800MHz
- INTEL ® Core™2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz FSB 1333MHz 6Mo cache socket 775
This upgrade would give a nice all purpose machine good enough for some good gaming. Money wise, this would cost roughly the same.
What's your vote?
Update 20080921: Looks like if I buy the kit in the US I'd be saving anywhere between 20% to 30% - so going to wait.
