It was all special order stuff. Well, it came in, so I took in my old computer so that they could yank out the C drive and install it as a 2ndary storage drive (See I listened to you guys!)
I got the rig back last night and have been up since then moving data and reinstalling programs. I was able to get all of my favorite links off of the old drive. I have only a few things left to do now.
Good thing about new computer
- It took less than 3 hours to migrate my 120 GB of Poser content from the old drive to the new C drive.
- Custom builds do not come with all of those preloaded garbage programs
- LOTS of power, lots of speed, lots of glowy blue neon on the case (they had to make it with a gaming case)
- 6 empty hard drive slots for future additions
- I deleted alot of junk off my old drive. It's empty now.
- I cut down to a clean install of Poser 7 only.
Bad thing about new computer
- no junk progams means you have to buy stuff. Like a PDF reader.
- Norton AntiVirus is not compatible. I found this out after I bought Norton 2008 Internet Security and tried to install it. (non-returnable after being opened per store policy). You should have seen me rushing to PC World reviews to pick a another system. I ended up with Kasperskyfor the anit-virus, spam blocker, firewall, and whatever else was in the package.
- PaintShop Pro is incompatible with a 64 bit system :(
I've lost my very favoritest 2D program!! So I've had to bit the bullet and order PSP12. And I am being forced to learn Photoshop.
- I have no idea how to set up Outlook. thank heavens I can access e-mail from Earthlink.(I am SO glad I got that account!). So I have to see if my neighbor will let me look at her POP setting (we have the same server).
- This monster must weigh 50 pounds! And I had to get it into the house by myself. It's 21 inches high,22 inches deep, and 9 inches wide.
