Wah… laziness strikes back? Ahh… it has been almost 1.5 months I did not update my blog T_T . I just came back from Hong Kong about 4 weeks ago and have been very busy with my work lately, thus hardly get the time to do with my blog (hopes I’m not lying ~ 
).
The first thing I’m concerned once I’m back to my own room is my computer work place. Usually IT geeks will call their computer as rig and computer work place as workstation which sound more pro? Hahaha… so I put mine as Vearnstation 
. This idea came up suddenly yesterday and so I took some of my time for it. I dig out my old photo files and trying to make a chronology of my so-called Vearnstation.
I first own a computer back in year 2001. I bought it at a computer shop named SBC at Low Yat Plaza and the spec was:
- Intel Pentium 4 1.4GHz (socket 423, the first generation of Intel Pentium 4)
- 2x 64MB RDRAM (rambus!)
- Intel D850GB Motherboard
- MSI GeForce 2MX 32MB
- Seagate 20GB HDD (5,400 rpm)
- Creative Sound Blaster Live!
- Sony 52x CD-Rom & 1.44″ FDD
- Prolink 56Kbps Internal Modem
- Samtron 76DF 17″ CRT Monitor
- Power Supply Unit & Blue Metallic Casing.
- Thunder 2.1 Speaker Set
- Canon S400 Ink-Jet Printer
It was legend as I’m able to play Diablo II, Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Starcraft and Tiberium Sun without any lag at all! This is the time when I started passionate interested with computer and learning the bits and bytes of the hardware.
Vearnstation V1.0 (nice Ergotech computer table? 
)
Later on late in year 2003 when I started with LowYat.Net, I begin to learn on how to assemble, troubleshoot and repair my rig. My rig was updated with:
- 2x 512MB RDRAM (rambus again for smoother run on Windows XP)
- JVC Liteon DVD-Rom
- Liteon CDRW-Rom
- Enlight 420W PSU
- HIS ATI Radeon 9600xt Excalibur Edition (for the sake of The Sims 2)
- Rear 80mm Coolermaster White Neon Fan
- Altec Lansing AHS502 Headphone
- 15″ Philips LCD Monitor (dual monitor setup is fun )
The Vearnstation V1.1 lasted for me about almost a year before I move on with V2.
Vearnstation V2.0 coming up next…
