LAN Party Upgrades

Time to upgrade my gaming computer.  First upgrade since the initial paint and build all those years ago. The camo PC is dead, long live the camo PC!

It will be making the leap from an Athlon series AMD system with an AGP video card and  DDR memory to a more modern multi-core AMD Phenom system with PCIe and DDR3 memory. The build went well except for a slight hiccup with the power supply and video card. The video card required a special 6 pin PCIe power adapter that is normally part of the power supply. Since I wasn’t quiet ready to toss the power supply I found a nifty adapter on Newegg to convert two of the LP4 connections to one PCIe video card power connection.

See you at FITES.
