_{I'm going to start off with saying this to you: 'IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN AVATAR IN 3D YET, BUY A TICKET RIGHT NOW!!'
Seen it this friday and it was soooo awesome! The movie lasts for 3 hours and we didn't get a break but for once I didn't even notice the fact that I was starting to lose any feeling in both my legs, because I was so amazed by the movie

Before the movie starts you get an intro in 3D so your eyes can adapt to the new way of watching a screen. At first you're like: 'omg everything is blurry!' But after 5 minutes the movie starts and I had no problems at all. It was pretty fun to see the subtitles floating in front of you
99% sure that I'll buy the movie when it comes out on DVD. I just hope it'll be just as awesome in 2D

Uhh let's see.. oh yeah! I've got a lot of new equipment laying around here!
I ordered a new GPU in November and it still didn't arrive, so I went to the shop last Friday. Turns out they didn't have my order in the database anymore and they just had my GPU laying around there
But now my new PC is finally complete!
Case: Antec 300
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D LE
Processor: Intel i5 quad core @2.67GHz
GPU: ATI RADEON XFX HD5850 DDR5 (1GB)
RAM: Corsair 4GB DDR3 @1333MHz
PSU: Corsair 850W

But wait.. there's more! I also got a new laptop for school! I'll be working a lot more with 3DS Max after internship and my current laptop just isn't good enough for that. So I bought the HP Pavilion DV7-3020ED for only €600,-!
For those who are interested, specs here and video of the looks here.
So now that I have my new GPU, my parents could finally use my old PC. Guess who got to reinstall Windows and all the drivers etc. this Saturday.. At least they stop whining about how slow their PC is now.

Bottom line: this was a very very expensive month for me And it becomes even more expensive because I just found out that my old backpack isn't large enough to hold a 17" laptop

Photo manips:
~ For my niece 1/2

That's it for now I'm going to enjoy my new laptop now, bye!!
