Lets get it started in here
Jared's new computer is the bee's knees. Before I actually walked into his room and saw his new PC with my own eyes, I had a sort of disregard for all of Jared's descriptions, even when he brought a complete system spec sheet to school for me to look at, I just sort of thought "Meh." Sure, I was happy for him, but I just wasn't excited like I should have been.
I shouldn't have thought "Meh." Not at all.
His new system is indeed a rig to be proud of. Not only does it perform very well, it actually looks good doing it. I used to think that things like lights and glass panels were retarded--just people with too much money throwing it down the tubes. No. No-ho. His computer glows. It glows. You can turn off all of the lights in Jared's room, open his bedroom door, stand at the far end of the house, and still see his computer emitting a soft blue luminance. Whenever you're feeling down on your gaming luck you just flip this little red switch in the back of Jared's computer and watch the blue tubes flood the entire room with blue cold-cathode light. The lights give you magical gaming powers.
I stayed at Jared's house last night, helping him to enjoy his new system. You have to understand, enjoying a new computer system is sort of like going cow tipping: it's fun by yourself, but it's much more satisfying when you've got buddies nearby. We installed a whole load of games. I put emphasis on "installed" because we didn't really play any of them. Sure, we started them up and tested them out, but we were mostly just playing them to prove we could. It doesn't matter if you like the game or not, you just have to see it run flawlessly on Jared's beast of a computer.
We also spent a fair part of the night getting Jared's old computer ready for me to take home with me. I put my old computer's video card and memory into my new computer, and Jared let me use his spare monitor and keyboard+mouse so I could make sure things worked just right before I took it home. He even tossed in an extra stick of memory and a monitor, just for good measure. He practically gave me an entire computer system. Jared sure is a swell guy, isn't he?

We spent most of the night up to our eyeballs in computer parts. Here are some pictures of me messing with Jared's old computer.
Jared's new computer is packed to the brim with cool looking blue lights. Check em' out.
I'll write more later, now I think I'll go to sleep; 10:30pm is too late for me to stay up on a school night, if I don't go to bed now I'll drag ass all day at school tomorrow.
