HenwoodWeb

Well I sold my baby… er… I mean computer!

It was time to let her go out into the world and experience everything she can! lol… I just needed the money. But the next computer I build is going to be the “Big Bertha” of computers compared to the other 2 I have built. Now its not going to have the most expensive parts available, I’m not rich here, but it will have the more advanced parts available and be the most powerful compared to the others I’ve built.  Here is a quick parts list I started from newegg.

1. Motherboard: ASUS P5E LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX $224.99
2. Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Yorkfield 2.5GHz LGA 775 95W Model BX80580Q9300 $259.99
3. Computer Memory: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) $49.99
4. Video Card: (2 of these guys!) EVGA 512-P3-N801-AR GeForce 8800 GT 512MB $134.99
5. Power Supply: OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700W ATX12V $114.99
6. Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s $59.99
7. CD/ DVD Burner: LITE-ON 20X Black SATA Model iHAS120-04 $23.99
8. Computer Case: Antec P182 Gun Metal Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX $109.99

Subtotal:     $1,113.91

Now im sure this list will change a lot since its entirely base off parts avalible on neweggs website and I prefer to get my parts directly from a store like Frys. When I start to build it ill give an update. If anyone like’s this set up or needs a computer build for them, just let me know. I would be happy to help.

Its been a little while but I just uploaded a few new videos to Chloe’s Videos page.

As a nother side note, my account with Flickr has expired so you might have noticed a lot of the pictures are gone. I just need to pay for the unlimited use on my account again and it will all be put back on. Once I get it fixed I’ll also have more pictures to put up. We have just been to busy with Chloe, work, and just life in general to remember to put up the new stuff.

Hello all!

Well Katy and I went to an ultrasound appointment today to find out the sex of the new baby. After much anticipation and speculation they told us it will be…. ANOTHER GIRL!!!! Ha HA, looks like the Henwood name will be dieing off after all when these girls get married. Its still a little to early for them to say with 100% assuredness that it will be a girl but the doctor and technician both seemed fairly certain.

I put up a new picture page for the new one. Its just called “New Baby Henwood“. You can use the link on the side bar with the other picture pages or just click here. Any how, more updates to come later. I will also try to get some of the video uploaded from the Ultrasound later as well.

This is where I will be placing all of Chloe’s new videos. The old page was getting to big. If you want to see the older videos HERE IS THE LINK.

Please vote and let me know if you like the new theme on the site. After you vote please leve a message about the new theme and any suggestions you might have. Thanks all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Yes, it’s true! Katy, Chloe and I ALL have ear infections at the same time! The last time Katy or I had an ear infection we were either around 13 or 14 years old. Now we both have it at the same time along with Chloe. We all have been place on antibiotics and seem to be responding well. I just got mine today and need this stuff to work FAST!! I almost forgot how painful this was . Well this is how we spent our New Years Eve and Day. In pain and at the Urgent Care.

How about you all?

Here it is, my new computer!

You can see the part list from my previous post. This bad boy will last me a long time, hopefully :).
I actually saved about $550.00 by selling my old computer and monitor that went into buying parts for this one. The other money spent came from working on the side so really it was no money out of pocket. Woot! Over all it was fun to build. I had to learn a lot of new stuff as technology has changed a lot since i built my last one. The 22 inch monitor will take some getting use to though lol.
