FINALLY

[marky]

well

it finally happened[:D]

my brand new super computer came to life on august 2nd 2004 at about 8 pm

[:D]

i know i couldve announced this big news a week ago, but i wanted to wait until i got a connection to the internet, which i just did now lol

and of course, the first game i installed?

Uncommon Valor

then i brought up the menu and pressed play....

nothing happened, and i was about to give up...

but then, uv CAME TO LIFE[:D]

i was shocked

and of course that gives an answer to whether or not it was a dud disk eh?

anyway, the stats for my new computer are, as far as i know =


Thermaltake xaser III case
Amd athlon 3400 processor
Asus k8v se deluxe motherboard
1 gb ram memory
Ati radeon 9800 video card
Sound blaster audigy 2 limited edition
250 gb ide hard drive
dual cd-dvd, rw-cd drives
3.5 floppy drive
viewsonic (19) inch monitor
altec lansing 3 piece speaker system
Logitech optical mouse
Logitech keyboard
convertx video-dvd converter



Approx cost - 2400.00 $

as far as i know, all or most of these parts came from newegg.com

my brother in law and i custom built it from scratch

i myself put in the video and i believe sound cards and installed the drives

i cant remember if i did anything else tho [:'(]

it was fun, and interesting to see it come together, but sum of it wasnt so fun, as, at the time i had just had my wisdom teeth taken out[X(]


so, it was great, as long as my painkillers were working......

[:'(]


and i of course tried uv and had sum decent success with the coral sea scenario, sinking several japanese mine sweepers and severely wounding the shokaku and shoho [:D]


im still trying to figure it out, but it should be interesting[:D]

marky,

Congratulations on your new PC and on playing UV. Hope you enjoy UV as much as I have. Having wisdom teeth pulled is no fun, but its worse when they become impacted.

[Blitzer]

And there was much rejoicing!

Great job Marky.

I've been following your PC travails without any knowledge to help you correct them. Your persistence is especially impressive; I think other people would have given up and moved on to a different game.

Now let the fun begin.

The man who could not get his computer to run UV is victorious.........[&o]

[Nomad]

Glad to hear you got it going Marky. Now, try playing a game PBEM, it can be a lot of fun.

[marky]
