Can't wait. My Christmas present to myself

 

Bit of an upgrade then eh

You building it yourself or is it prebuilt?

Get some pics up in here when you get it

 

LOL, Yeah bit of an upgrade

Gonna build it myself so I might be using some bad language tomorow.

pics will follow

 

Bound to be bad language, probably a few little cuts/blood on your hands too

 

Darn it. Was really hoping this would come today. Will have to wait until tomorow now which ain't all too bad I suppose. Thought I'd cheer myself up anyway and got this to go with it

 

Super, cant get any better than samsung for a moniter

What size is it, its hard to tell?

Also what are you waiting for, the parts listed in the first post? where you buying from?

Sorry for all the questions im a nosey bugger

 

Nice monitor you got there pal

 

It's a 20 inch monitor although it looks bigger in the pic.

All the parts came yesterday so I was playing all afternoon/night.

Orded parts from here http://www.microdirect.co.uk/?source=TradeDoubler

but got processor from e-bay.

 

where the hell do I start with this lot?







My favorite part



And it all goes in..........................

This

 

did a 3dmark06 last night. my old system got 1310 and this one got 10437 . might even have a go at overclocking soon

 

Mate thats a top notch rig

3Dmark 06 is aswell, i got 5389 with my AMD x2 4200, 2GB ram, Geforce 7950GT which is pretty good on 06 version but yours is awesome

By the way i like your case, its actually the one im ordering http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...uct_uid=118268

actually maybe not there out of stock now oh well ill look for another good one

 

There are too many cases to choose from that's the problem. I chose this one because I kept hearing about it and I knew the 8800 would fit. There are alot of nice cases about though so I'm sure you'll find one

 

same case as me

very nice spec!

what version of 3dmark did you run ?

 

oh and make sure before you overclock you bin the heatsink and fan that comes with the cpu and get the top of range zalman, or a tuniq tower 120, or artic freezer 7 pro.

i have the tt120

 

Nice case, not too sure about buying the CPU off E-bay, let's just hope the seller has a good returns policy .

How big is that case ? How many hard drives can you fit in it ??

 

He said 06

Dan, alot as i was looking at that case, not sure the exact number though

 

Yeah. I got the artic freezer 7 pro

what games you playing with this then chap?
Im currently well into Battlefield 2142, its an amazing game so much fun

 

I'm playing some older stuff at the moment believe it or not LOL. UT2004, Colin McRae 2005, Doom 3. Going to load up Far Cry and want to buy F.E.A.R and Half life 2. Will go through some Need For Speed and Call of Duty aswell, GTR, Toca.

Think that will keep me going for a bit

Keep hearing alot about 2142. Will have to give that a go.

 

yeh i might get 2142, im a counter strike and medal of honor man myelf, ex team england player :P

 

Billy and wigga, get 2142 its seriously the best game ive played for years, cant fault it

 

build it your self how many times did we put the motherboard back in

 

LOL. What can I say, I was excited

 

Judging by your friends comment, lets hope it doesnt blow up then

 

 

Whos is that and what spec is the pc

 

who's was what ... pmsl... only joking it was my Dell Laptop j/k

it was done with a modified vapochill based system using iRAM, volt modded motherboard, raid card, SLI and clocked over volted processor the system was in its stable setting to do those results, if its set up to do bullshit benchmarks which makes it unstable it can do a bit more than that if required

Im not usually in the habit of posting benchmarks as in all reality they mean nothin and prove less (could'nt help myself today, but its gone now as I have no desire to detract from a thread where someone is informing us of their new and very nice system)

I try to discourage benchmarking in general... but a vapochill case allows you to do impressive things and run stupid setups. but then again most things that cost horrific amounts of money usually do.

The sadest thing is possibly that the system has never played a game in its life other than tetris and solitare

 

The words "money to burn" spring to mind

 

Being staff for a major computing site with lots of friends in the right companys helps also if you lack money
