I picked the new machine up yesterday, going to install stuff tomorrow.
This machine is HUGE! There is so much space inside the cabinet. Which is a good thing, because the CPU cooler is the size of a small house.
Also, this is my first computer with actual noise reduction padding on the inside of the cabinet. I can't wait to start it up.
Before shutting my old unit down, I decided to find out exactly which CPU I had in that machine. It's an Intel i7 920, introduced in 2008(!). I bought it in 2009, as a complete desktop. I've since changed power supply, RAM and GPU. But the CPU, motherboard, cabinet and HDD are the same. All 9 years old.
That old machine is almost older than my stepson.
