Back Up! X99 In the House

     Finally! The day has come that I have been able to replace my broken desktop and what a day it is! I decided to build a new system that will last me for the next several years and has plenty of room for upgrades. Currently it is a mess of parts atop my desk, due to the case arriving two days after the parts. I'm going to save going over all the parts in detail until I have the final build completed, so today I'll discuss my intentions for this new beast.

    My old computer was aged, neglected and unfortunately completely out of date.  Compared to my new rig, there is nothing to really compare. Nearly every component one could think of simply wasn't up to the task of modern computing.  The HDD's were slow, the GT 430 graphics limited and the 2 gigs of RAM a joke. The things I was trying to do just simply were too much for it to handle. VOID as she was called crashed and burned, although I am on to much stronger things I have a respect for the noisy computer of my past.

    It was on this computer that I had many firsts. It was the first computer I could actually kind of game on, it was the first computer I created 3D models on and even code. When I had nothing else it was a beacon showing me the way. I learned a lot, and it was one of the best gifts a friend has ever given me. 

   Now I move on. The new computer is an X99 based monster. It will be great for everything from CAD to coding, and gaming to browsing. I intend to use it as both a workstation and a source of entertainment. I will reveal more details over the next few weeks as well as up the number of posts. For now enjoy this not too revealing shot.
