While traveling to KL last weekend, I was able to free my self and visit Malaysian computer ‘heaven’, Plaza Low Yat which famous with hundreds of shops selling telecommunications, gadget and computer stuff with the prize that you can get anywhere else (legally in Malaysia)

I’m not a computer geek, but this time, I tried to build new system from scratch based on advice from my friends and some tips from lowyat.net forum. I end up buying motherboard, graphic card, switch and etc that I capture some of them below, but without my Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz that I bought in Penang earlier. Added to this family would be Dell 24″ wide screen LCD that will be received probably by end of this week.

I’m displaying also my old but gold systems, that are loyal to me, give me less troublesome and service me well since my earlier day on Internet entrepreneurship (my notebook) and old P3 (2nd hand) with 19″ Dell LCD that has accompanied me since 3 years ago.

Building you own system from scratch will definitely give you satisfaction in terms of performance. On the other side, you will spend more since you’re using quite high end parts that do not necessarily important if you’re use it solely for blogging purpose. The solutions, grab more games, or buy more gadgets to fully utilized it (don’t listen to this advice)

Btw, I’ll test this rig with the podcasting set that I win from createbusinessgrowth blog couple of weeks ago. I have no idea how it works, but I’ll definitely give it a try before deciding if it worth to keep it.

Old system, on my workstation

New system, in progress..
