Assalamualaikum warahmatullah,

for this new year, i build a new Athlon XP system to replace my scarletdiva system which had a major breakdown because of damaged motherboard.Since im having a lot trouble finding a secondhand Socket 7 mobo, I bought all the major component for building an Athlon XP system such as DDR RAM, Athlon XP Tbred Processor, Mobo and Casing. I called this Box as Nazhgul since.. the casing is black in color and there is evil inside it hehe :).



I've faced lots of problem while building this Nazghul box. Lots of trial and error and troubleshooting were done because the box won't even start.Fortunately Helix(Check out his kewl blog.He have just redesign his blog.Damn nice jeles aku.) was there to help me by providing his Vampire box for testing my Nazghul box. Really apprieciate his help.If wasn't for him, i'll be bringing my box to the computer shop and ask their permission to use their computer parts to troubleshoot my box. Thanx alot for your help Helix. What a nice guy he is :). Alhamdulillah now im running on Nazghul to blog.



Here is my Nazhgul spec:

AMD Athlon XP 2100++ ( ThroughBred)
Kingston 256MB DDR RAM
Generic Geforce4 MX 440
Motherboard MSI KT6 Delta Via KT600 Chipset, DDR 400, AGP8X, SATA.


For the time being, im using a stock Barton Core Heatsink CPU cooler that comes with a copper shim.Got it from a friend (Namiaz) who doesn't want the Heatsink since he already bought a Cooler Jet7 CPU cooler. Before this, im using a standard original CPU cooler that comes together with the Processor. But then it wasn't very efficient at all as my CPU temperature were at 69C (pheww damn scared that i'll fry the processor). With Barton Core Heatsink cooler, my CPU temperature was reduce to around 56C. Hmm still need to buy a good CPU cooler for my CPU.. and all that i can think right now is Silent Boosts. Helix is using it rite now. So far the heat disipation is very very efficient .. and the temperature were at 45C.. and more important is , less noise.


Its already 4.22 in the morning, doesn't feel like sleeping. Im trying to finish my latest layout design for this blog. Its goin to be My Note Ver. 2.0 and this time im experimenting with layering with div. Boyyy all i can say is .. this method is so kewl. You won't need to create all that complex tables.With this method.. you wont need any table. Could you imagine, you could create a complex layout without doing to much of cutting. You can even position all the text onto the image.For now i just learned how to create a complex layout by using div. There are 2 more methods that you can use to design a layout. Table and frame coding. Later i will try to design my blog layout by using frame method.

My Note Ver 2.0 is goin to be release soon. This time with Anime design :)

Thats all for now ....
