I just ordered me a new computer for my birthday. It's supposed to come in some time during the week of January 5. I took the expensive route and ordered the Edge Z5 off of Velocity Micro, customized to cost $1009 (although after shipping and ordering the monitor separately, it was more like $1350), but meh, not my money. That's the wonderful part of birthday presents.

Specs:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4700, 2.6 GHz dual-core
RAM: 4 GB Corsair DDR2-800
GFX Card: 512 MB GeForce 9800 GT
Hard Drive: 500 GB Hitachi, 7200 rpm, 16 MB Cache
OS: Windows Vista 64-bit
Monitor: Hanns-G 19" LCD, 700:1 contrast, 1440x900
Shiny silver case:

I'll be running WoW at better than minimum settings with 7 FPS in no time.

It has shipped and is supposed to arrive on Friday! My friend just got a new graphics card, the same one that's in my new rig, and he says it's a wonderful new experience being able to run everything on max settings and still maintain good framerates. I can't wait ^_^

I've been using that computer for a couple days now and let me say it kicks ass. Going from ~15 fps on minimum settings, with lag in dalaran so bad i can't do anything, to a constant 60 fps on maximum settings, only dropping to 25-30 in dalaran and still no lag there at all, is a great experience. The game looks surprisingly better ^^
