Finally, I bought it on saturday. A picture are better than thousands of words, so here I am showing u guys some photos.
Oh, the spec is a bit different than I mentioned before. The motherboard is changed to a lower value 785G instead of 790GX, the RAM is value DDR3 rather than performance DDR2 and the PSU is non-modular version. I can play Crysis Warhead with graphics settings max out with no lag at all. Wateva, it's time to put this aside and concentrate for final first.

Another sem is gonna end soon...means final is approaching. But really not in such a mood now. It's really been such a loooong time since i played a proper pc game. Not to mention occasional gaming on Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, which is a medieval game. Since i burnt my laptop by heavy gaming(in terms of the games appetite on pc resources, not duration), i stopped gaming on it.
Now i'm planning to come back to the world of pc gaming. Having a plan of building a gaming rig by myself. Nothing is more excited than this for a gamer. But this isn't just my only reason for buying a new desktop, cuz after a long time swapping from desktop to laptop as my main computer, im still missing the feel of using desktop, which is more comfortable. It has a larger and better quality screen (usually laptop comes wif a lousy lcd screen...mayb bcoz mine is Dell...lol). It is especially important for long time user like me. Small screen can makes reading get fatigue quickly. Other than that, larger screen oso provide more desktop space for multitasking. Oh, the taskbar will b longer too. I usually open multiple programs and windows at once when doin assignments and reports. So, desktop also helps in my studies =)
For the old desktop, mayb i will dispose it. mayb will leave it at hometown for the little kids to abuse...it is almost unusable for me. It was my first pc...that's y i was cheated to buy this thing, slow as a tortoise (There is another 'snail' in my home) and noisy like a vacuum cleaner. The PSU had been swap bcoz of the burnt underpower, cheap, lousy, crappy PSU(@#!*&!$^). Besides, I also upgrade the RAM frm 256MB DDR to 2 pieces of 512MB and added a 160GB HDD. In the end, the half of 1GB RAM had gone to nowhere. The system load so slow even if i formatted it. And the time always reset. This really annoyed me as there is a lot of program, or even website are not able to run if the time is reset.
Forget that piece of metal. Now talking abt my future rig. I went to a few computer shops today to do some quotation for the machine. Actually i didn't plan to go there today, but was in a bad mood after the test...lol...u know wat i mean. So, here's the quotation wif spec and prices i got today, just a roughly quotation, and somemore it's still a PLAN. I might cancel it due to some reason. Any progress will update at here.
Code Name : "DeathWing" (A name of a fictional black dragon, which suits the black casing of this machine and it utilize AMD's Dragon platform)
Total......RM 3503
(P.S. Personally I think the quoted price had been pushed towards my limit. Still I might buy a new set of keyboard & mouse and it is not necessary to b too good. Anyway, it might b juz a wild imagination.)

1st December, it may not be a beautiful night sky, not a full moon night, not a starry night. Most might not realize of its existence...but this is a true special night, a dim smile hanging high above the sky (I personally feel that it looks more like a dog...lol). It is a extremely rare sight, yet it keeps a very low profile, staring the land from a corner of the sky silently. Maybe he is not willing to wake us up from slumbers?
Or.......
Is he grinning at the foolish human? during the economy crisis...for taking the consequences of what we've done, for our selfishness that are constantly ignoring the grieves of the mother nature, only to beef up our economy. So...a sign of the beginning of our punishment? Probably.
Whether it is a smile of warmth or a grin for our foolishness, only God knows.

独自一人时可以是最好的机会让头脑清醒，但也有可能让你胡思乱想...尤其是夜阑人静的时刻。
不过却偏偏喜欢这种感觉，毕竟已经习惯了，而且也不受白天家里‘杂音’的干扰...呵呵呵，开开玩笑
下星期要做下学期的course selection了...真的要垫高枕头想一想选什么科了，决定我未来四个月的命运喔！那里可以不想清楚？！

What a boring semester break. Half a month had past but I already can't stand it...still gonna 'enjoy' this for one and a half months...hohoho...really freak me out. Sometimes I did hope that the following sem starts earlier(but thinking of how busy will I be in that sem...sigh).
The results still haven't come out...I didn't feel this much worry before...cuz I did real bad. What a REGRET!! lol...What is done is done, let's face it. Escaping from the facts will not help make the situation better.
So I think I should fortify myself so that I can survive in the next wave of attack!! haha...Played Red Alert 3 just now, a bit crazy. Anyway, Red Alert 3 is such a rubbish...Cartoonish unit model makes it worse than C&C 3, which had more realistic graphic. The Empire of the Rising Sun faction did entertain me a lot, haha(I mean ridiculous). The design of the unit model look a lot like what you see in the manga, especially Gundam series.
Oh, the spec is a bit different than I mentioned before. The motherboard is changed to a lower value 785G instead of 790GX, the RAM is value DDR3 rather than performance DDR2 and the PSU is non-modular version.
