The only thing that makes you more 'awesome' than me is your video card. But I don't envy micro stutter.

Edited by: Kravick Drasari on 17/01/2009 12:06:44 I used to buy top of the line stuff. However, I realized I was throwing my money away as the technology advances so fast you spend way less money by getting a really good motherboard and then upgrade as the price comes down on hardware. Sure, you can't play the latest games on OMFGWTFBBQ maximum right away but the game isn't going any where. I always end up playing them through more than once and not during the same time span.
I use the money I save to buy pizza and beer.  |

The depreciation on that thing in 3 months alone is probably going to be about what I just spent on my new rig. That being said, that's one sweet setup you have there  |

What Razer mouse did you get? I got a Lachesis on my current rig, so unless you got one of those i can at least claim to have a better mouse than you (until i build my next rig (roll on summer), but even then i doubt I'll get as many HDD's as you)
I'm glad you didn't buy the Razer headphones (or maybe you did but didn't list it), because i would be laughing at you 'cause the build quality of them is shockingly awful (but they do sound awesome when they are working) |

Problem with that is once you buy the diamond necklace who will buy it from you if you want to sell it? Pawn shop? They are not going to give you any where near the value its worth. |

Computers: Make the world go round, can send a man to the moon and back, help cure diseases and launch nukes.
Gold and Diamonds: Good conductors of electronics and Drill bits.
Women havent made the better investment judgment, humanity just puts value on stupid ass things.
To OP:
Nice box but the amount of RAM you have alone is just such a waste, funds could have been used on another upgrade to your rig. What are your bench marks? -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

Originally by: Jacob Mei funds could have been used on another upgrade to your rig. What are your bench marks?
no benchmarks yet. like i said the case isn't here yet too much ram? maybe today it is. as most of us know, what is probably too much today is ideal tomorrow and what is sufficient today is soon to be lacking hell, i also could have built 3 boxes for just over a grand apiece and all would have ok.
waste? it's only a waste if your thinking about your money. this is my money. i think a cfo that has 4 personal jets is a waste (hell he can only use one at a time). but he would probably disagree with me
stupid? stupid awesome is more like it 
Originally by: Daelorn WHERES THE SECOND GTX 295?!
when they get closer to being a midrange card i'll get another one and sli them all together.
honestly i was more expecting people to show me their new systems (it is christmas time). didn't anyone out there splurge for the top end i7 chip? (it's the only one that takes advantage of that 6.4GT/s interface. i wanted to but alas i too have my limits) |

My dad is building a computer, so far all he has gotten is a Stacker 830 Case, and a Antec 1000w PSU (Does Antec make good PSUs?) I told him to get the ABS modular one but he deemed it too expensive! Trying to get him to get a Core i7/x58, he even said he may get it give it to me and take my MoBo/CPU which would be awesome

i dont think they make BAD equipment (not to my knowledge). i have stuck with thermaltake psu's since... well pretty much since they been making them. but this time i went with a corsair
the modular ones are so so sweet for those that like the 'neat and tidy' plus it just makes for good thermal management ---------- "This is Chopper Dave's made for TV movie, Blades Of Vengeance. See, he's a chopper pilot by day, but by night he fights crime as a werewolf... YEAH!" |

how is that? I was thinking about it but the price put me off, and I was VERY dissapointed the last time I splashed out on a mouse (the Habu)
I still have the original Diamondback from over 2 years ago (my first 'gaming' mouse) I just can't get used to anything else since then. It's very pretty and comfortable too. |
