I named my new Rig as "Cordoba" , It's the most populated city in Spain today and also the wealthiest where in its history it had different occupants ranging from the Vizgoths to the Romans and eventually to Spain when they became a superpower in Europe.
PROCESSOR
Let's me start by talking about the Processor, The q6600 is the best lga755 processor ever, it cost around 300 dollars 2 years ago and now it only costs 125 dollars (if you can find one), luckily my dell optiplex 755 carries one, and as of today, Intel is no longer making this processor. The processor OC ability is legendary, some people were able to overclock it to 4.0 GHZ from the stock 2.4 GHZ and beating Intel's newer CPU the INTEL i7 940, not just beating it, but really owning it..so it's a no brainer that this CPU is staying in "Cordoba"
RAM
My main plan was to OC my cpu, so a new ram is a must, i read that 800mhz is the best frequency to have when OCing your processor, that's why i'm going with the Patriot Gamer Series DDR2 Rams in a 2x2gb configuration. This rams can take in 1.9 V and that's a must especially as a result of OCing, excess voltage goes to your rams and gpu. Patriot is one of the most reliable brand in the RAM business, they are expensive (mine costs 5660php) but very reliable
HD
My old Seagate Barracuda is still a very good HD, it has 7200 RPM with an 8mb cache, it easily beats all the consumer level HD, but the 250gb capacity is very limiting especially to me who likes to download tons of series, I needed a 1 Terabyte HD, i was researching and the best performance for a sataII is 7200RPM and 32mb cache, and following the price per GB rule, the Samsung Spinpoint F3 (SRP PHP 3800PHP) fits the bill perfectly, its cheaper than the Western Digital Caviar Black (SRP 4700 PHP) and Seagate Barracuda (SRP 4200 PHP) and yet on tests the F3 beats those two especially on the read and write, the only time it was beaten is in the power consumption test which it lost to the Barracuda,but hands down it is the best HD in the 1terabyte range

ODD
My Old Lite-On Lightscribe DVDRW 22x is still good enough and even beats the competition today, so changing it is out of the question. I don't use the drive itself because i'm more of a download guy.
KEYBOARD
KEYBOARDKeyboard is one of the most important parts for the whole PC system, and a good keyboard makes a ton of difference in gaming, so i was looking for a keyboard that is for gaming and the same time cheap, take note a logitech gaming keyboard cost around 4k here in the Philippines, and its not that good anyway, the only thing difference from the other gaming keyboard is the LCD screen it has, but in terms of performance, the whole keyboard is clunky and hard. After tons of time researching i found the best gaming keyboard and the price difference is huge, the OCZ Alchemy Series Elixir Keyboard, it has tons of features and won numerous awards and it only costs 1320 here in the Philippines, for details of its features check my video below
MOUSE
Another important peripheral is the mouse, a gaming mouse is necessary and to do that Razer mouse is not the answer, don't get me wrong the Razer mouse is a good gaming mouse but it used to be the best, the problem with a Razer mouse is that its expensive model lines is the best in terms of performance but they are so darn expensive, ranging from the 5k to 9k, while there consumer level gaming mouses are SHIT,expensive shit, the only reason that consumer buy them because of the brand and the dumbasses consumer who doesn't do their research thinking that buying them they will become great gamers like those who do gaming professionally. but they are wrong, do me a favor, if your reading this and you have a Razer mouse in your hand, which cost 5k or below or 100 dollars or below, punch your face for me will ya. i was researching and once again OCZ makes the best peripheral per budget, I'll be using the OCZ Behemoth Gaming Mouse, it won tons of awards and it only costs 1320 here in the Philippines.
Tune in Tomorrow for the rest of the spoilers
Operation "Cordoba" is a Go
Peace out!!

I made an unboxing video(a poorly made video,haha, its my first time , so lay off)of the motherboard that i'm gonna use to replace the Dell Optiplex 755's 0GM819 motherboard, after researching vast reviews and availability here, The ASUS P5Q SE PLUS is the motherboard i bought. The versatility and the price of this Motherboard are the main reason that i chose this particular Mobo and like i said I will buy only parts that has the best Performance/Price Ratio. *I only Wish that it has crossfire feature, but that's another upgrade in future when i change from the LGA 775 socket to the LGA 1366 socket which is around late next year when people have adapted to SATA3,USB3.0 and SSD HDs.
You might be wondering the difference of the BTX and ATX architecture, here are some few pics so to explain further
ATX FORM
BTX FORM
Without further adieu, here's the video
To fully explained my motherboard here's another video, To lazy to type the explanation haha, This video is created by TigerDirectBlog, if you are a techno enthusiast you should watch their video, very detailed and informative.
Will get the rest of the parts this weekend! yah i'm excited!
That's all for now
PEACE OUT!

The Tooth Fairy starring Dwayne Johnson (The Scorpion King, Race to Witch Mountain, Get Smart and The Gameplan) Ashley Judd (Ruby in Paradise, Kiss the Girls, Double Jeopardy, and High Crimes) Julie Andrews (The Princess Diaries, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, and the Shrek Series) and Billy Crystal (Monster Inc, Analyze That, and Cars). I saw this movie a week ago during it's premiere and it took me this long to write a review about it, its already a sign that this movie sucks and failed to give me a "wow" experience. I read somewhere that the script of the movie has been around Hollywood for more than 12 years being pass from another studio to another, and as a result the movie was stale and very predictable. If you already watched 'The Gameplan", please do me a favor and don't watch this movie because you will be utterly disappointed. Don't get me wrong, Dwayne Johnson performed very well in this movie and also the rest of the cast as well, the only problem the script really sucks, here's my challenge for you, can you guess the plot of the movie............if you say a struggling hockey player protagonist who became a tooth fairy then he hit a high point then a low point then a big decision making scene and then a happy ending. well kudos you got it spot on! To conclude, I recommend watching the movie if your with your family and children because the humor in these movie is really intended for children and i really don't recommend it watching alone or with adults or even teens because the movie's humor is really not that funny..seriously..it sucks..to childish.
PROS: Great Cast, Childish Humor, Great Performance by Dwayne Johnson
CONS: Script Blows, Predictable, Very Childish Humor
