Ooo, new computer posts eh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Antec 900 ATX Ultimate Gamer Case, Corsair 750W PSU, Gigabyte P45 MoBo, Intel E8500 Dual Core 3.16 GHz CPU, Zalman CPU cooler, 8 Gigs of OCZ Fatal1ty DDR2 800MHz RAM, Diamond Radeon 4870 w/512MB RAM, Diamond Radeon 9250 w/256MB RAM, 2.25TB of disk (3 750GB Seagate Drives), Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer, Sony DVD burner, Logitech X-540 5.1 Speakers, and Microsoft XP Pro SP3.

I reinstalled Starcraft/BroodWar, Half-Life 2, Diablo II, Doom 3 and C&C 3. I also bought Dead Space. So far it's not bad. Not as scary as folks are saying though in my opinion.

I've heard both good and bad about Fallout 3 so I might have to check it out.
