nice system, surprised you didn't go the SATA II - ( 3 GB sec ) route though, still you having it built or buying individual pieces and building yourself?

Eagl....


Cost was 3725.00. Base it was 2999.00. I made a few upgrades and a ruch and over night. They called today and it probably wont be in til next week. So I will get a bit off that price. Prolly about 100.00.

Monitor I'll be using will be a Samsung 930B 19 inch LCD. I have a 21 inch NEC Multisync. If the Flat screen doesnt work so wiell Ill pull out the 21" and use it.

Anyway.....I gave my 1.8 with a 9800 pro to my wife. :) SHe like to play Casino games and thats about it.

I'm looking into Racing games as well as AH and a couple other flying games I have.

WORK IS PROHIBITED ON MY COMPUTER. IT IS ONLY FOR PLAYING GAMES.:lol

Uhh.. XP Home and MS Works.. I'd go for XP Pro and OpenOffice 2.0 which actually have some functinality.

Uhh.. Nvidia SLI, the most expensive generally non-functioning marketing ploy known to man. SLI is not supported on many games at all, one of them AH2. One 7800 is enough for any modern game - if you want to waste money just for the sake of wasting it get ATI Crossfire which works on all games.

No separate soundcard - so you'll be probably using AC97 and taking 10-15% hit in CPU cycles while saving $50.

Uhh.. raid 0 with no backup.. recipe for a disaster. You're more than doubling your chances of losing all your data unless you take a full backup frequently.

Ok your system both rocks and sucks in several ways. I'd save a load of bucks and change the setup though. You're paying for basically nothing.

I did get a separte sound card. Audigy 2 ZS Platinum.

SLI will be coming in the future:) So ill be ahead.

Backups of the raid drives? ALL that will be there is a game or 2 or 3. No work is done on this puter. IT IS strictly a toy. Wifes puter is where any work is done.

Overkill? Yes More than I probably should have bought? Yes

But after going through the last 2 years of taking care of my Mom who died of cancer , I owe my self a BIG gift and this is it.;)
