The End of a Titan

So in 2006 when I graduated from High school as a special combo birthday graduation present my family got me a computer. It was a super editing machine called a Dell XPS 600.
It was a great computer. It lasted me only three years though sadly, almost to the day. Last week my computer decided to randomly stop booting to Windows. I tried everything I know and after hours of trying work I turned to my Father for help. He worked on it for an entire day and the man whose been doing IT for many many years now couldn't even solve the problem. After almost a day of working on it however my Dad managed to get Windows to work. However it only worked alone with no other drives attached to the computer, unless external. I found out my Terabyte drive is fried as well on top of it.

So stuck with a computer that can't do what I need in terms of video editing anymore and a dead drive I had to make a decision. I bought a new computer. Picking a company to go with was difficult, I had to pick a PC that could handle what I needed, basically a computer with a fast processor and lots of RAM. I went with a gaming PC because games now a days require more RAM then video editing programs.

So I got this sucker, an Alienware Area-51 750i One of the coolest features I think is it has a tooless system, meaning no screws. That means when I bust it open I don't have to worry about stripping or loseing any screws. It also means less wires which allows for better air flow. Check out the specs I got on this baby.

I was going to pay for this out of pocket but my Dad decided to ask my family to pitch in and buy it for me as a birthday present. He said 21 is a special benchmark. It's really great they're doing that for me.

It'll be built by June 1st and has a 3-5 day shipping on it so I'll have it in 2 weeks I think. Can't wait.
