Oh not again LOL.

 

[Sneaky]

hey! after this build, then i'm gonna be getting a car, so this rig will be the rig of all rigs, and will last me a pretty decent amount of time before i even think about upgrading again

 

[Martel]

amount of time before i even think about upgrading again

**cough** **cough** Bull**** **cough** Sorry bad cold...

 

[ghettocomp]

....will last me a pretty decent amount of time before i even think about upgrading again

Oh yea... I have been known to say the darndest things after a lack of sleep as well. Now I buy Motherboards at the rate of around 2-3 a month...

I just knoticed.. that seems to be an awfullly needy system there...

 

[Sneaky]

**cough** **cough** Bull**** **cough** Sorry bad cold...

ROFL this is true, but my comp will work just FINE for the next year even as it is, furthermore with the completion of rev. D1

as far as a car goes, i'm prolly gonna drop 5-6k on a 84-86 mustang GT 5.0L and toss in two simple upgrades, and then i have a 12 second car - then after thats done, compy gets another overhaul hahahaha

 

[RedDragonXXX]

How much $$$ do you have, LOL

 

[Sneaky]

enough. LOL

no car yet, so all cash gets poured straight into my computer

 

[RedDragonXXX]

We need to open up a special Forum as a rehab for computer junkies, LOL

 

[Flip-Mode]

Can you please change the font color in the first post, the purple is unreadable.

 

[Sneaky]

LMK if "seagreen" is better

 

[Flip-Mode]

Ok its readable now, I'm waiting......

 

[Rev]

1KW yikes. I can only imagine the power company droooling right now.

 

[Fr3@k3r]

DUUUUDE! ....... You need to join the CBA! (computer builders annonymous.)

 

[Sneaky]

1KW yikes. I can only imagine the power company droooling right now.

well it only draws as much power as it needs, so it'll probably be yanking 600-700w out of the wall


right now i'm seriously taxing my PC P&C 510ASL - it makes weird sounds under load, and at idle, the fan is at full speed and bellowing out loads of really hot air

 

[PhoenixOfChaos]

Wait.. what-the.... who!?

I swear that I just got done reading another one of your revisions. That had a post from... today.

You have done so many mods, I am completely lost.

Things I've figured out;
1. Sneaky makes too many mods
2. Sneaky's computer budget is significantly more than it should be.

I guess we do need a rehab PC builder group, like another poster suggested.

 

[Flip-Mode]

Sneaky can stop when ever he wants....

 

[Sneaky]

ok - the project has commenced!

just ordered the DD Low Profile Maze4 SLI/Crossfire set that comes with 16 OCZ copper ramsinks from Performance-PCs


i was gonna get the x19 block, but i said screw it because i'm going crossfire eventually, so why not just get the dual maze4 kit right now, and just use one block until i order the mastercard


PPC also shipped out my chaos green razer copperhead 2000dpi mouse to replace the red one which they accidently shipped to me (btw,i LOVE PPC!!!! they're even cross-shipping and refunding the cost of shipping to me! can you ask for better service? seriously!)

 

[hyperasus]

Wow Sneaky that is one heck of a rig you have going there. I think a comp like that deserves a ram drive; or at very least a couple of raptors.

 

[Sneaky]

i was thinking about getting a pair of 150gb Raptors or RaptorX drives... but we'll see
