Hardware

- 2008-02-09 01:04:21 [edit]

If I were to buy a new desktop computer right now, it should probably have the following characteristics:

Motherboard with integrated 965-series Intel graphics adapter, probably GMA X3000
Probably a Core 2 Duo CPU with VT-x support
A quiet CPU fan
A likewise quietly cooled PSU
Probably 2GiB of RAM

Looking around, I might go with something like: Intel DG965OT Motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 2.66GHz CPU (using the included fan for now), Antec EarthWatts 650 PSU, 2x1GiB Kingston RAM which weighs in at about 2800DKK. Of course I won't, because I'm not really in need of a hardware upgrade, but it was fun looking around.

More stuff

I've bought more stuff. It just never ends, I guess. First, CDs:
Mew - And the Glass Handed Kites
Live - The Distance to Here
Genesis - The Way We Walk, Volume 2: The Longs

Also, I'm posting this from my new Nintendo Wii (thank god for usb keyboards).

More music

Lifehouse - Who We Are

CDs

I bought more CDs.

Trentemøller - The Last Resort - not the sort of music I normally listen to. It's electronic, very minimalistic and well, a bit strange really. I'm liking it a lot, but I don't think it's something I'll listen to every day.

L.O.C. - Cassiopeia - Danish rapper, which is also not something I'd usually buy. I already knew the album though, and liked many of the songs, so I thought I'd buy the album. Unfortunately it's "Copy Controlled", which really deserves a rant of its own, but I'll just leave it at that.

Moby - Play - It's probably not unreasonably to call this album a modern classic by now. And for good reason. I don't think there's a single track that I didn't instantly like when I first heard it.

D-A-D - Psychopatico - A live album by D-A-D missing from my collection. Only a few more to go.

My next music purchase might very well be some old Kraftwerk (in German, please). It's just amazing to think that they made electronic music decades ago that still seems relevant today. Listening to Trentemøller, I certainly hear some parallels.
