Everybody meet GREGORIO!

This memorial weekend we went on a grand trip of northern Utah. I'll leave it to Isabelle to cover all fun stuff that happened. I'm going to focus mostly on one picture, displayed below.




Now when most people see this I bet they're thinking, "Of course, you must have been in Park City." But if you're reading this blog, you know that PC stands for something much more important than Park City. That's right, Personal Computer. To commemorate this random thought of mine, I thought I would introduce you all to my personal computer, GREGORIO.

GREGORIO came about because of a problem my grandma had. Her computer went kaput. My step dad called to ask me what type she should buy to replace it, and I told her she could just buy mine. I sold it to her for a discount, and with that money and some extra I had from my birthday, I hatched a plan. That plan culminated in what is now known as GREGORIO. It wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Grandma for buying my old computer (BLUESTREAK) and mom for the birthday money. Here's to you! Luckily, Grandma and I had all the peripherals from our old computers, so we required just the box, and what a glorious box he is.

Here are his specs:

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Dual Core Processor 2.9Ghz 1MB Cache
Memory: 2GB DDR2-800 RAM
Hard Drive: 250GB 7200 RPM
Video: GeForce 8600GT 512MB GDDR3
PSU: 650 Watt
Media: 20X DVD Reader/Burner

And here are the pictures:

He's got a see-through panel!

And he glows!

A view from the front - the fan on the bottom has this nice glow-through effect

The peripherals from before: Wireless mouse and keyboard, Phillips 3.1 speakers, 19" LCD Monitor

The Phillips Subwoofer

Now all I need is one of these and some more ram and maybe he'll go from a mid-range gaming rig to high range. I'll have to wait until my next birthday rolls around for that one though, can't justify the cost unless it's a gift. Anyhow, if any of y'all wanna game sometime, just let me know :)
