Upgrade Time

[[Dr. V]]

WOW MAN!

This is like a never ending train of AMAZING upgrades! I have to say, the Ultra may have been a bit too much, but it doesn't look like there is a "too much" for you bro! Awesome...EVERYTHING!

Enjoy that true true computing MONSTER man!

I'm slowly implementing my upgrades. First is the Antec P182 case, then another 2GB of ram, then a 8800 video card, then Quad Core, then a CM GeminII. That seems like the right order for what I would need. I can't wait. A 680i motherboard might be thrown in, but for now I LOVE my P5B Deluxe!

Dude, your computer is truly a wicked system. I hope you like it!

thanks stix, i really appreciate the comments man. i do love my computer but i'm sure all of us here are enthusiasts or else we wouldn't be part of this forum. i love new tech and i enjoy being able to do new things or complete tasks faster and easier than before. i'm glad to be part of a community that i can share my interests with.

And we're glad to have you bro. In our own way, as much or as little anyone may know, yea - we are all enthusiasts, and being able to share a love and passion about something with others is always enjoyable. ESPECIALLY at a community like we have here at HL, it makes it that much better and more pleasurable.

Not only that, hardware like this freaks us all out! I don't know about some others, but I know there are a few select people (including me) that absolutely love the extremely high end hardware and working with it and seeing how it runs and everything. This is truly impressive.

Enjoy the system at least as much as we are, and you won't need a system for 10 years lol!

(Yea, that was a joke! 24-core CPUs or some stupid shit like that will be out by then!)

Holy 8800 Ultra batman! How loud is the stock cooler on those things?
I've never seen a router like that before either. Nice find, looks very... stylish...

i can't say i've noticed a difference in noise level between the ultra and the gtx. i've been monitoring my temps and i would say the ultra runs cooler by 4 or 5 degrees. i'll be posting an overclocking guide for the ultra in a few days. this card overclocks like a champ. wow

i liked the router's looks. its not the standard blue that linksys usually puts out and it matches my black color scheme i've got going with my desk. i'm trying to get a cheap wireless n card off ebay this week for my wife's laptop.

btw, does anybody have any tips or tricks on how to get a good deal on ebay?

DAMN.

That is a rockin' system. It just keeps getting better and better. Awesome photos too. Enjoy it!!

Ebay's a tough one. You just have to know when to bid really. The one who gets the last bid in takes it, unless there is simply a Buy Now option.

By the way, I sent you off what looks to be a pretty (definitely more) finalized version of the pic. Let me know what you think bro! I sent you two new ones, check the latest one.

two new upgrades to the system!!! i got this in today and i will transfer everything over from the tj-03 tonight. this case is a beast! large, heavy and rock solid. i'll post some pics of the finished product later on.

CM Stacker 830:





and here's what i was really excited about. this came in yesterday and i'm still recovering from the shock. taking this thing out of the box and setting it on my desk was memorable. besides the size, the monitor is beautiful and sexy. man, what and awesome lcd. just SICK!!!

Dell 27" LCD 2707WFP:




and if you haven't had a chance to yet, check out my system in the HL gallery! and please post some comments!

[Yellowhello]

OH MY GOD! Nice case! And very nice monitor! I envy you, man!

BTW, what did you with the TJ-03?

[Bokranator]
