MY NEW RIG
My mobo was busted up recently due to a unforced error on my part.
So I told myself: It's time for a new rig!!!

I didn't had much time to do much homework for my new rig.
I consulted the folks on EDMW for some recommended specs and then I ran with it.
Haha.

On Friday, I visited SLS with probro to collect a bunch of pamphlets and also to exchange Ah De's faulty digital photo frame.
Feeling a little famished and confused with all the hardware and their prices, hungry cannot think, so we went to tekka area and had briyani.

Then on Saturday I jio'ed probro who is more than willing to accompany me on this major hoot.
