COMPUTER SPECS WAR!!!

Thing is, that HDD of yours is probably worth more than everything else put together. I'll eventually get a SSD when the prices drop again.

Got a nice upgrade for my laptop recently.

Bought a DVD bay adapter since I didn't require the presence of a DVD drive any longer.
Inside that adapter sits an old WD1600BE which holds a handful of Steam games and other games that I can actually be bothered to play; or basically things that the laptop will handle without screaming bloody murder.

In the original HDD caddy is a used 64GB Crucial M4 which I got for cheap.

In the display department, I've replaced the original (and frankly ass-bustingly horrible) Chimei 1366x768 panel with an LG 1600x900 panel. Better resolution, better colours. Of course; performance worsens due to the more demanding resolution, but since this laptop is used mostly for work, I really liked the extra onscreen estate.

Cooling has also been upgraded - I've replaced the stock heatsink which comprises Copper pipes and thin aluminium fins, with one that's fully Copper. Both Copper pipes and fins. Makes the laptop weight quite a bit more, but the better cooling is totally worth it.

Finally got the RAM upgrade I've been waiting for - a pair of 1333MHz 4GB Crucials were a huge upgrade from the 2x2GB sticks that came with the laptop.

Also bought foam pads and fixed the problem with my floppy/flimsy-feeling keyboard.
Next modification will be a better battery. Maybe an 8-cell extended battery over the current 6-cell, 4400mAh one I've got.

Oh yeah baby... 1.3 GHz processer 4 GB DDR3 Ram Chipset Family graphics card... Anyone want some toast?

I think I can toast faster with my 2.5 GHz processor

How is that 11 GB of RAM arranged? Two 4GB and a 3 GB?

@Dennis-W \ You should get a coolermaster V8 because it's cheaper than the Corsair and cools way better.

[tomytom99]

Not even the older ones have pins.. The Core 2 Duo doesn't really have it in.. Only a little cover that can easily break holds it in. :S

The Coolermaster V8 looks crappy, and since my case has a window in it (that might change though) I decided to get something that looks cleaner.

I think you should have an i7, they do cost 50-70 euros more, but they are better

Find me a dutch site where it (3770k) only is 50 euros more expensive then a 3570k (220 euro's) and i'll buy it.
