True PC envy!

Neeseius · 03-31-04, 01:10 AM

Just bought:
4xWD 74gb 10000rpm Raptors
AMD Athlon64 FX-53
I will use my current fastest vid card, the 9800XT
Nforce3 250gb pro, the latest Vaporchill water cooling kit
thermaltake xaser III super chassis
4GB CorsairXMS Xtreme memory series DDR4400 pro Platinum

Ill decide on my Monitor>s< later, and my dvd burners and stuff

TehGoober · 03-31-04, 01:14 AM

Hey! I used to live in Glendale. Arrowhead Ranch, nice community...

Wow, what are you going to be using that monster for? Must've cost you an arm and a leg!

solo · 03-31-04, 01:20 AM

better off getting 4 gbs of bh5

and a mach2, or build your own cascade setup

well nice systesm you got there
midn sending some money over here

JaviZ · 03-31-04, 02:08 PM

I think your "thing" will let you play Tetris... and perhaps some others games.

hehehe, gratz man!

fletch · 03-31-04, 02:11 PM

Wow. Just wow. Have to keep us all updated

scanido · 03-31-04, 02:27 PM

Nice rig btw. Post some PICS of that beast!

It would be killer if you got the new MACH II GT to go with it!

How are you going to setup your 4 raptors?

Please tell us what can you possible do with 4Gb of memory???

Jac_GT · 03-31-04, 03:11 PM

ok

Tebore · 03-31-04, 05:53 PM

WOW! Half the system's cost must have gone in the ram alone. Gotta see some pics of this thing.

tekOC · 03-31-04, 09:33 PM

[OFFTOPIC] Jac_GT.... good job stealing my avatar without permission.... haha [/OFFTOPIC]

And holy christ what a setup! Where do you get all that money man? 4 gigs of RAM? What the hell take that dudes advice and get a Mach II and some BH5 RAM instead.

Hydr0 Styles · 03-31-04, 09:55 PM

Actually, I don't envy your computer.

Let me explain:

The four raptors will be VERY noisy, and very hot. If you RAID them, then you'll take the risk of losing all of your data.

The ASETEK WATERCHILL (note: Vapochill is by asetek, it's not its own company) will probably be pretty underpowered.

4 gigs EXTREMELY overkill. Right now, anything over 1 GB is overkill. It's never going to be used. It's a waste of money. The PC4400 runs at VERY high timings, and the actual MHz speed of the RAM probably won't be utilized to its full potential anyway. Not to mention the PHAT LEDs.

Thermaltake Xaser is extremely gaudy.

The 9800XT is nice, though. As is the FX-53.

I'm just telling you that you should think before you throw all your money away. This is a good example to show how getting the best parts on the market doesn't always make a good PC.

I'm not trying to rag on you, or sound condescending, I'm just trying to point out an error. If you value your money, you'd give some thought before you buy.

But if money is no object, have fun!

I just got my Athlon Thunderbird 1.4 to overclock to an Intel 5.2Ghz using the newly found staples and fan on top method. And I get -50 degree temps, it actually cools my house!

Neeseius · 03-31-04, 11:29 PM

muwahahaha, i was just curious what u all would say, i made all that up!!! You can tell its fake and far fetched (4gb of ddr4500 ram is rediculous) as i wrote this in two minutes. and the raptors wont work? boo there goes that dream! I have a rich freind who just bought a computer just like the one i mentioned, hes rich obviously and payed like 11grand with all the monitors!

you will also notice rich ppl dont post in these forums. because they are rich. they pay for help

GM1010 · 04-01-04, 06:28 AM

Exactly. No one on these forums buys an $850 processor and most people here know better than to think they need 4gb of ram. I'm surprised you had as many people going as you did.

Lan_Of_Malkier · 04-01-04, 11:42 AM

Lol...good joke. Yeah I was guessing 10K. Thats just absurd.....we did get an envy sucka though.....What a SMOKING server setup though, damn. That 4 gigs certainly would be put to use in conjusntion with that proc. Wet dreams are made from such things..lol

kpiciulo · 04-01-04, 04:09 PM

I think you got a lot of responses because the posting date says march 31st. I assumed april fools too until i read that then i just thought you wasted your money.

secretweapon · 04-01-04, 11:09 PM

Plus you need registered ram to run a socket 940 cpu

Yeah! Take that!
