The new computer

Hi all

I've purchased a new computer couple of weeks ago. I made a research on my locale market, and found that I want the following configuration:

  1. CPU: Intel Q9450
  2. MB: Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R
  3. Memory: Mushkin CL4 4Gb
  4. HD: Western Digital WD5001ABYS
  5. Case: Antec Sonata Plus 550
  6.  Graphics: Gigabyte GeForce 8500GT Silent 512Mb

All in all, it came in about $1630.
Currently, my main work requires me to work with lots of different Windows configurations. It lead me to use the following installation:

Main OS: CentOS 5.2 (updated 2 days ago) 64bit
Windows OS: XP machines in VirtualBox.

This configuration was chosen to provide as versatile environment as possible.

CentOS Linux was chosen as enterprise-grade OS, providing me as stable environment as possible.

It is a great, quite machine. I'm happy.
