I haven't looked lately, but those are soem pretty high-end components so I'm assuming it was pretty pricey.

I'd like to build a C2D rig one of these days. I went with an Opteron for my last build, and I kick myself all the time for letting my AMD fanboyism get the best of me.

 

If you're being serious: That was a Back to the Future reference.
If you're just messing with him: Carry on, nothing to see here.

 

I was thinking the same thing shroomie. 1.21 gigawatts was the amount of power in order to send the delorean back in to the future.

 

So guess what your getting at is that its quick?

It looks cool.

 

Beam me up, Scotty........

 

the processsor is quick with the new steppings and higher FSB
my video card is a little outdated but I got a decent deal on it off ebay, not as good as the 8 series but it can still hang

 

I was wondering why you went with the 7950. Still an amazing rig, though.

 

GPU sucks. otherwise, nice setup

i kicked mine up to 3.6 the other day, no problem. temps were fine, too. really boosted the 3dmark06 score when i OCed the GPU and RAM too.

get a GPU like mine lol:





i know, my wiring job is terrible, need to fix that at some point. i should take some pics of mine in the dark, havent yet. bet it'd look cool.

i like your case a lot btw. very nice

 

I could of bought quite a lot of beer with what you spent on that...

 

holy rats nest batman!!!. I'm waiting till the 8800ultras are under 350 to switch to dx10. the 7950gx2 doesn't totally suck, I can run HL2, fear, farcray, prey and such with everything maxed @ 1680x1050. the only games I havnt been able to run maxed is flight sim and stalker. my computer doesn't like stalker with hdr.. even if I force AA off... sure beats the 2800xp 5900xt machine I was on before

 

Wow, that's colorful, looks pretty cool!!

 

All that work, and still no water cooling.

 

Water cooling is so, so 19th century. lol. Reminds me of houses with those big old radiators & boilers.

Pelletier Effect cooling is where it's at.

Y'know, I never I've understand the fetish with frame rates, when we can't perceive anything faster than ~30fps anyway.... seems like wasted resources better spent on improving colour depth, resolution & rendering.

Good for bragging rights, though.

(Styx - that linky I sent - looky all the room for blinky lights in that puppy!)

bubba

 

Ok it's been year since I have built a computer... but is that a big a$$ fan on the processor? Jesus christ!

 

Yeah - looks sorta like a spool, eh?

Them things run real hot, overclocked or not.

Purty thang, for sure.
