My dad and I were looking for an older socket 939 CPU the likes of an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ dual core, but we didn't realize how inexpensive a whole new motherboard could be.

If you don't know where I'm going with this, then I at least hope you're good at sports or something.

So, my dad and I went to Fry's, with a few ideas courtest of me of what to buy. Sure enough, we went, we bought, we brought it on home.

We got:

AMD Phenom 9600+ Quad Core CPU (last one in stock)

Asus M2N-E Socket AM2+ DDR2 Nvidia motherboard

2x1GB DDR2 RAM

Logitech R-10 Stereo speaker system

Canon Pixma MP210 Multimedia Printer (FREE with the Motherboard!)

Overall, a 9600+ Quad Core is a little bit of an upgrade from my current 3200 single-core... :D

At the moment, however, I'm writing this on my laptop, because right now we're working on getting the motherboard totally working (black... screen). It's pretty cool, actually-- I have it hooked into my 22" 1680x1050 monitor, and my Razer Lachesis gaming mouse is in it... It's my home away from home. My very slow home away from home.

It's going to be good...
