Nice, looks like a great build.
Oh yeah one thing, how can a monitor be certified for vista?

After playing with his system for the last few days, I told my wife. I think I am going to pack up my system and send him that one, and I'm keeping the new one. It blows mine away so bad it's not funny.
I downloaded the demo to crysis and played it at max settings and 4x AA at 1680x1050 and was getting frame rates in the 50's. After all is said and done. I still hate how that Antec 900 case goes together, but it is one of the best looking cases around. Last edited by paratwa; 12-09-2007 at 03:47 AM. |

 No I am not keeping it, wish I could though, but my wife would not forgive (sleep with me) me if I did. So I am going to ship it fedex next day air on Thursday. Now I just have to talk the wife into letting me build a new one for myself. Yes I said talk the wife into it. I admit I am whipped. Just a pointer to all you guys, stay single! |
