My first hardware upgrade in three years.   Twenty minutes of Lotro running smooth at "ultra-high quality" topped off Christmas wonderfully.

So are you going to paint the exterior and put a Ferrari logo on it?

 

So how do you like LOTRO in all its glory?

The case & chassis are in pretty bad shape, this is it's third rebuild.  Had it out in the garage about midnight under the leaf blower.  Thought about spray painting the chassis with some faux chrome, but didn't have the patience for extended downtime.  We'll call it a stealth hotrod, like The Bluesmobile.

 

Lotro in all it's glory is...  Glorious ;)

 

She's not up to full potential yet, haven't done a fresh OS install.  I'm currently stuck with 32-bit XP for the audio recording hardware.  The old guts will go to a dedicated recording rig whenever I get my hands on another case.

I've got a case for your new machine!

Then you're still missing some additional glory when you get to DX10.... something else to look forward to.

Holy Crap!  We just had a brown out here in Tulsa.  Did you just power that thing on?!?

Hey! What happened??
