PC upgraded with ATI HD 3870 GPU

I just upgrade my PC, it has been with me for around 5 years and recently it just failed me! sob....sob...

My pc has been showing me warning signs in the boot up screen for more than half year and i choose to ignore it! Every boot up of my comp will tell me to backup my hdd and I am required to press F1 to continue to boot into windows! Besides having the hdd problem, my CMOS battery has also expired.....

Since i was only using my comp to surf net and also watch some anime, I didn't bother to do anything! Until Monday this week, my comp refuse to boot up and give me the beep beep beep sound! Use a boot up disc to boot it up but then again within a few minutes time it will show me the "Blue Screen of Death"! Darn so i spend RM2000++ to get myself a new rig! So much for Merry Christmas!

I went over to Malaysia biggest PC center - Low Yat Plaza! Then got myself:
AMD AM2 x2 4000 (may upgrade later to the newest Phenom when price drops)
ASUS M3A / AMD770 / D2 / PCIE / SL
2gb OCZ PC800 GOLD DDR-RAM
Seagate 8M SATA 160gb HDD
SAPPHIRE HD 3870 XT 512MB DDR4 HDMI (For RM799 wow wat a get!!!)
LG DVD ROM
COOLER MASTER ATX cassing along with 450watt PSU

After not playing any new 3D games on my PC for more than 2 years! I now started to play Gears of War, Crysis and lots of high requirement on my PC again!

Yeah thx to this 3D card!

The overlook of my current PC:

I will soon purchase a Asus Xonar Sound card to pair with my AV-system!

SRW 1/144 R-1

After 3 months of building this kit i have finally finish it!

It took me so long becoz of the ridiculous amount of color on this kit, and also the ridiculous amount of work i have been doing this 3 months (working on Saturday and Sunday + OT until 1030pm every night).

I am not really satisfy with this kit myself, but nevertheless i have use so much time on it so I might as well work on!

Most of the SRW kits weapons are very detail even in the size of 1/144! Maybe it is becoz Kotobukiya is also doing the Armored Core kits which all have very detail weapon design!

Comparison between HG Strike Noir weapon and R-1 weapon

Besides having more details on the 1/144 SRW kits, the size of this kits are bigger than 1/144 Gundam kits!

Dunno why i think that the R-1 looks more cool than the Stike! Here some dual gunner pose! Kind of reminds me of Revy from Black Lagoon!

This kits is my second kit in shading and also the first kit in using enamel paint to do the lining!

After doing this R-1 i think i will not buy those SRX team mecha anymore, they are really too colourful for my liking!

1/100 Alteisen Gotcha!

Yup i finally got the 1/100 Alteisen! After waiting for more than 3 months since the first declaration of Alteisen 1/100! I finally got it!

This time Alteisen is back with bigger size, better articulation, more detail, LED for the Eye & Horn and a fully colored figure of Kyosuke!

Now i can have Kyosuke and Bullet standing side by side! Wonder when will Excellence's Weibritter get 1/100 treatment! I would really want to get a full collection of ATX team in 1/100!

It is really generous for Kotobukiya to include the LED in this kit, and the manual book has covered how to place the LED into the kits head! We can only get the samething from Bandai if we buy a 1/60 PG gundam!

A picture of Alteisen 1/144 with Kyosuke figure!

Since I am a super big fan of SRW and especially the Alteisen fan so i will drop all my current building kit and start building Alteisen 1/100 first!

Revoltech Danboard

As i mention earlier in the Revoltech Yotsuba post, Danboard was going to be release soon! And yes Danboard has just been release in December! Those who havent got their better got snatch one back and place it next to your Yotsuba!

I was walking around in Berjaya Times Square this afternoon to get my Danboard and manage to meet X Divider Gundam in Time Machine selling a lower price compare to previous visit so i grab it along!

This time the box of the Revoltech used a carton like design, and has cute drawings and has the cover part having the same design as the Danboard faces!

Within the box we have a head of the character and a stand board for the Danboard! Thats all...... but the figure head is very big!

OK now come the fun part! The Danboard follows the original design of the manga! So u get to have an ON/OFF button on the side of the head, beside having the same design it also has the same function! By switching it ON, eyes of the Danboard will......

This Revoltech is really very cute, it has very few Revoltech Joints but it definitely is one of the cutest out there!

Oh and you wouldn't get any 'pantsu' shot from this figure.....

Now some picture of Yotsuba! with Danboard!
