Now I just have to convince my dad to let me use his credit card =\

r u actually getting it or just showing us you dream computer because this is like 10,000 dollars

yep just bought it about 4 hours ago. Should be here by Friday, was about 200 euro more expensive than I thought it was gona be. Was counting on a motherboard bundle staying at a reduced price. It didnt and some stuff went up too things also wnt down :O

So I ended up having to fork out an extra hundred odd quid. Brought the final price to about 1900 euro's but meh its gona be here on friday hopefully.... cant wait =D

Having all thay and your get a monitor with only a response time 5ms

 

[akmarksman]

I don't know why people are ragging on Vista so bad..I'm using Vista on a laptop and Vista x64 Home Premium on last years computer build.
Damn thing runs fine.

Of course I know what I'm doing,what components I put into the computer build and I've done tech support for friends over Xbox LIVE..

After building 7 computers,you tend to go with certain brands and certain features..
Granted it looks like a good build,but I wouldn't go with a modular power supply..

I've got a AMD x2 running at 2.6Ghz on air cooling,using Arctic Ceramique,MSI SLi platinum board,OCZ 700Watt PSU,2x9800GTs with 55nm processors,4GB Corsair XMS2,Pioneer SATA DVD+R DL burner.
Hard drives are Western Digital...after hearing what my cousin went through with his Seagates..I'm not straying from WD.

I can add in a blu-ray drive from eBay and have HD on my Dell 2408WFP 24" LCD monitor.
That beast of a monitor has 2 DVI inputs,component,vga,composite and HDMI.

I'm bogglingly illiterate when it comes to compy hardware. Just tell me this: can it run Crysis?

it can until that Gigabyte motherboard burns out after 2 months and they find a way to deny your RMA.

Probably because a lot of "budget" laptops shipped with it when it was new. Laptops with very small RAM that just running the OS gives it a hard time. Many people who bought those laptops (they thought they could kill two birds with one stone: New laptop and New OS) became quickly aware of performance issues, and we have Vista today. That's my take, anyway. I saw some of my friends scramble to downgrade to XP because of this.

Look how large my e-Peniz is:



This big!

Like I say to everyone else, the first fix is free.

Still impressive though, but I feel that is overkill. At least you'll be set with PC gaming for a long time.

This.

Also, whats with the massive 1.5 Tb HD? as said before, this will slow your pc, you can use it to store video's / mp3's, but you'll probably want to get a second smaller / faster HD for your operating system.

Good point, so if anything he's crippling his PC before it's even been bought.

rofl that likening the computer to my nob made me laugh (^^,) I said in an earlier post the hard drive was cheap bout 100 quid for its size. In the next year or so solid state hard drives which are much faster will have fallen a good bit in price so I can use that then for running prgrams and such.

I doubt I'l be stuck for space or slowed down after one year ya know. We'l see how it goes, got it yesterday still hasnt shipped yet though

I went with the modular power supply on a friends recomendation, makes for a very tidy interior as you can take out any unused cables when your finished. Why wouldnt you use one? Now I'm worried =\

 

[manicfoot]

Sounds pretty sweet. Don't listen to the people ragging on vista. I've never had any problems with it. Besides, if you do end up hating it you can always get windows 7 RC for free and dual boot ^^ Personally I don't see what the fuss is about. I installed it on my laptop (which runs vista incredibly fast) and the performance was a lot slower for some reason :S

 

[Zersy]

And how much of that stuff do you actually need...

all of it, If I want to keep my old computer

is it for gaming ?

if so then get some good games other wise it's kinda useless

i can do everything on my NETBOOK ! and literlly everything except playing games that require any form of good graphics
