I don't really recall the reason why I didn't want to write about this computer (maybe because it's not mine?), but I figured I might as well, as I did build it after all.
I ordered parts to upgrade the Dell into a dual-core to replace my parents' VAIO computer, but the day after ordering it, I decided (for whatever strange reason) to see if the processor was compatible -- which it wasn't. I ended up having to RMA the RAM and build a rig around the Core 2 Duo E4500 series.
I assembled it and put it in the Raidmax Thunder case -- even though I didn't want to use that horrid case, it was the cheapest option -- and used the stock heat-sink.
When I upgraded Mei-chan's CPU cooler to the Zalman CNPS9900 Max, I put the Zalman CNPS9700 that she had into this computer with the fan controller for better cooling.
When I upgraded Lie-chan's video card to the Radeon HD 6450, I put the Radeon X1650 Pro into this computer, and to my surprise, it seemed like I didn't have to install the legacy AMD driver (version 10-something of Catalyst), but I did anyway. Luckily my parents had gone out shopping and returned a short while after I was done, so they haven't any idea.
Besides the Logitech illuminating keyboard and the wireless mouse, there's nothing to really say about it.
