Intel e6500 desktop

September 2009 – 2012-01-27

2009-09-25 Main desktop: upgraded my workstation to an intel based build:

  • E6500 2.9 ghz dual core intel CPU
  • AsRock G41MH-GE motherboard
  • 640Gb WD Blue (1Tb wd black later)
  • 2x1Gb ram AData (later 4gb Kingston HyperX )
  • Pleomax PSP1100 speakers

2010

  • Moved all from a crummy noname atx case to a Floston topsider black case

2010-09-26

  • Added a Gigabyte nVidia GT 220, 1024MB DDR3 video card

2011

  • My old IDE DVD-RW failed. Nearly the same day I found a discounted Asus SATA Lightscribe drive in the back of a retail store shelf. It was a quarter of the usual price, and hidden behind other boxes :)

2012-01-27

  • Upgraded all the innards to an I7 build. So we can say that the e6500 desktop was  decommissioned. I only kept the hdd’s and the case for the new build.
