My Workstation aka Vearnstation V2

October 19, 2008 | Category: IT Techz, my Story

Later late in year 2004, I decided to sell off my rig (which I took quite a long time to consider) and topup a little bit of cash to migrate platform into AMD64 system. It was the time when AMD pawned most of Intel processors with their 64-bit and embedded RAM controller architecture ~ LOL :-D . It wouldn’t be successful if I not managed to fetch a high price for my RDRAM, it was ON-DEMAND back on that time when everyone stucked with Intel’s RDRAM motherboard and doesn’t want to migrate platform :-P . I sold few pairs of RDRAM back then by doing some trading :-) .

So I went to do some reading and study on what hardware and setting I should get for my new rig. Thanks to many forumers at LowYat.Net which shared with me their information, experience and guidance, this was my first DIY and self-assembled rig :-D :

  • AMD64 3000+ 2.0GHz (socket 754, first generation of AMDK8)
  • 2x 512MB DDR400 Kingston Value Ram (Hynix-D43 chipset)
  • DFI LanParty UT nForce3 250Gb (best overclocking board for AMD64 s754 by Anandtech’s review)
  • HIS ATI Radeon 9600xt Excalibur Edition
  • Samsung Spinpoint 120GB SATA HDD
  • LG 16x DVDRW-Rom
  • Enlight 420W PSU
  • Thermaltake Tsunami Dream Silver
  • 15″ Philips LCD Monitor
  • Altec Lansing AHS502 Headphone
  • Logitech MX518 Gaming Optical Mouse on XtracPad Pro
  • ANC s650 Webcam

This rig served me for 3 years++ until end of year 2007 before I did another major platform migration again back into Intel Pentium Core 2 system which with me till now while I’m on it updating this post :-) . Occassionally during the 3 years time I upgraded some hardware and device:

  • FSP Bluestorm 500W PSU
  • Dell E1905FP 19″ LCD Monitor (it is a 8-bit MVA panel :-) )
  • Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
  • Edifier R501 MKII 5.1 Surround Sound System
  • XtracPad Ripper
  • Canon Pixma iP4300 Inkjet Printer

Vearnstation V3.0 coming up next…
