One PC dead

[Zenosis]

Can't link directly to that system as it an Alienware Aurora with some customisation, yes the GTX 690 is the newest Nvidia GeForce, could explain why it will take upto 3 weeks build. The reason for the extra high specs is me wanting do 3D work as a hobby.

Name works just as well, just wanted to have a look at the case. Imagined the card would be pretty new with that much video RAM.

[Zenosis]

I maybe crazy spending so much on a PC but let's just say its my vice

Others drink or smoke

[Zenosis]

Well delivery date is confirmed as Tuesday 9th October.

Weird thing is now that I can't play SWTOR or GW2 or TSW, I feel I need to game, is that a sign I am addicted?

[Raiah]

You could probably call it that if you'd like to but meh

Oh, BTW, I since there is a Bluray drive in that computer, if you have any Blurays around, could you try getting a player called DAPlayer and see if it actually works? It's the only free software that claims to be able to play Bluray movies. Been thinking about getting a drive for my PC but with the cost of all players that have licensed what's needed to play them, if I'd have to buy one of those, well I might as well get a regular hardware based Bluray player

[Zenosis]

Well got no Blu-ray discs at the moment, just planning ahead.

Well good luck in the manor on Saturday

[Raiah]

Ah, typical
You'll likely get some software with the computer that can actually play blurays, think most OEMs do that when they include bluray drives.

[Zenosis]

I have a question, I have a backup of windows on an external hard drive, considering I am getting a new pc, can I use that backup or will it mess things up?

[Raiah]

Nah, you should be able to use that backup. You'll probably have to install some new drivers for the new machine but there shouldn't be any problems.

[Zenosis]

Well got a call from the courier earlier, it seems it will arrive sometime today, hard drives and Ethernet card pulled out of old machine, ready to install in the new one if needed, the hard drives from the old machine will probably need to be formatted before use assuming they are mechanically sound, the external backup drive is awaiting on the desk, for when windows is setup.
