Saturday, January 14, 2012 by amitsaran | Discussion: Community
Hello everyone,
A Very Happy New Year to you all !!
I don't know if anyone here wondered where have i been busy lately, as i last uploaded a few skins
for the WC Holiday Contest ... that was around Christmas.
Well, the good news is that I have custom built a new pc for myself as a new year gift,
the bad news " I've spent Rs.36,000 on it i,e approx. $700 U.S.D .... Lol .... 
Though it was very urgent as i used to run out of memory on my 3 yr. old laptop while doing animations.
This will help me to create more and better stuff in less time apart from playing games and watching
movies.
System Specs -
Operating System : Windows 7 Ultimate
Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00GHz
Installed memory (RAM) : 8.00 GB
System type : 64-bit Operating System
Monitors : LG E1641S LED Monitor 15.6 (39.62 cms) LED

Hard Disk : Western Digital 500 GB Internal SATA HDD
Graphics Card : NVIDIA ZOTAC GeForce GT 520 2GB 64-bit GDDR3
DVD/CD ROM drive : SONY DVD RW DRU-880S-ZR
Cabinet : iBall-i8190
Gaming Pad : Microsoft xBox 360 wired
New Software for skinning purpose : Adobe After Effects CS5 and Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64-bit)
Now im just tuning it up to my needs ... n shall require help from you all as im new to the 64 bit apps.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Congrats on your new system. I built mine as well. There's something very satisfying about using things that you've built yourself. I hope it serves you well. Now let the .dreams begin!

I'm jealous! Someday, I'd like to build my own. I hate a locked down OEM mobo.

Suggestion:
Get busy skinning some of those great dreams, and I want to see you venture into making some WindowBlinds skins!
Oh yes... another suggestion: Have a great New Year and enjoy that computer!!!
