*jizzes all over the thread from excitement*

the hdmi output will go into a computer monitor, or will you be using an hdtv as your monitor?

(this is what I want to do, but my computer doesn't have an hdmi output..)

HDTV would be MUCH better
That's nasty, and FAST too, I like it.

for a browser-based text game
:D

Gives me wood.

Keep the LED light on the fan though, too annoying.

Kudos.

I like the LED on mine. I have blue. I call it either The Blue Monster or My Smurf Monster :-p

LED is fine when it's hooked to a monitor, but when you hook it up to the TV, I find it very distracting in low light settings. But porn on 55" is primo.

sweet dude.. now you can play earth at the highest settings

Nice rig. I was speccing one out the other day. Been thinking about giving this one to my youngest daughter for her Bday in August and building a new one for myself.

Looking at a setup pretty similar to yours but with different manufacturer parts. Looks like I can do one for maybe $700. Newegg just rocks if you know what you're looking to build.

What OS are you using? Win7?

exactly. :P

i loved my blue led on the side of my case until i started keeping it in my room and the light kept me awake. i would also have that comps children. all i did was get more memory and new vcard and i should be fine for bf3. im gonna tbag the fluff outta people

I tbag everyone in this game when they dais, it's just unfortunate none of them can see it happen.

im buying it to play Battlefield 3 mainly but faster EE is always a sexi option lol...

Will just run it on my currant 21" LCD monitor..


Will be running Win 7...

lol, confirmed :)

Hey, upgrades are always fun. My PS3 that had it's old 80GB Seagate take a fluff on me... upgraded to a 250GB Western Digital Scorpio Blue. Now, my PS3 has a larger hard drive, it's backwards compatible and it still beats the fluff out of the slim models! :P

and thats why you dont buy seagate. its perfect if all your lookin for is a random object to throw at flys to kill

Overkill?

Western D Harddisk.. everything looks good except that lol.. Maybe its just me with bad experience with western D products

Donny how are the Hannsprees? I've been curious but leary of them. I love my Benq on the basement computer.

quite happy with a BenQ G2420HDBL - lovely monitor :)

on what Donny uses his computer?

Bsnake - that looks like a nice rig.

Can I suggest maybe a 1TB drive for storage and the like?

Donny - I want your monitors. I'm assuming that is either a hardcore gaming rig, or you do some sort of graphic design/video editing on it?

How does the Caviar Black compare to Sata II 3.0 GB drives?

I spashed out on a dedicated music production PC about 6 months ago.

ASUS PSDX58 MB
i7 950
24gb Patriot Viper Sector 7
1 x Patriot Inferno 128gb SSD
1 x 160gb Velociraptor
2 x 500gb WD Blue (I think) HDDs
Basic Video Card
M-Audio 2496 audio card (10 year old technology still works great)
2 x 22inch monitors

I'm really really tempted to grab a revodrive or a revodrive x2 in the next couple of months and move some of my samples to that.

ill have 2 x 600mb drives(in the new PC) with 4 external drives anyway so a total of 5 TB... so think ill be right space wise :)

Nice - are you going to RAID 0 the raptors?

In these days why go with a noisy raptor when u can have a quiet, cold and super fast ssd.



Would be fun to be able to upgrade yearly, but i guess my 1,5 year old rig, bought for bout 3k dollars, is still enough to at least play earth empires, but still a new 160-320gb ssd would be nice instead of my old intel 80gb.

i have 13 computers... you ONE new purchase puts them to shame... wows. nice buy

Not a bad Machine BS. I was looking at that motherboard for my next PC, but decided I'd go with the gigabyte assassin instead.

Donny, a nice config indeed.

i was going to set up a raid,that was my main reason for having 2 drives, i lost 3 HDD's(all external) at my old house and no idea why they failed and lost a bunch of photo's etc...

i will wait till i get the machine at home and go from there...


The reason i went with those drives is my mate has been using them and where i keep my PC desk the nosie is not really an issue...

I do a lease/buy on the machine for tax reasons, mean i pay more than i should for the PC but i know in 2/3 years it will be be decent enough,has worked out for me so far(well till my last one blew a mobo/vid card... i really do think that house was cursed...

There is a great util for recovering data:

Runtime's Get Data Back v4.22 is the latest. Works great. Can even find stuff on partitions you've formatted multiple times.
