So how long does it take to get this stuff shipped?

Oh and I have to pay taxes on everything I buy off of woot.com because they are based in the same state as I am....so you got me beat there.

Your order will ship tomorrow, so you should get everything by Wednesday, the latest Thursday. By tomorrow evening, you should receive an email with the UPS tracking numbers. Newegg three day shipping really is three days - it's awesome.

OK so now what games should I try on it? I think I will try Crysis again, this time at full settings.

Sure, Crysis will run at very high with that setup. Um, if you like FPS games then Call of Duty 4 is fun...the multiplayer is the shit, although I haven't played MP in a few months. The single player campaign graphics are pretty sick. Overall fun game, IMO. Assassin's Creed is pretty cool, and that ships with the Q9550, so you can try that out straight away.

I just bought a crapload of games from DirtyD86 and haven't even tried them all yet. I'm going to try out Battlefield 2 tonight, so I'll let you know if that's any good.
 
well newegg sent me a tracking number its been shipped. I watched every Fallout 3 trailer last night, and oh my god, I am going to lose a week or two of sleep and free time to that game.

So you're getting everything Wednesday, right? That's another good thing about the free rush processing. Your order receives priority over all the "regular" orders processed this morning.

It didn't list the items but the weight is 22lbs, so that has to be everything since I didn't order a case off of newegg. I mean the boards and cards can't weigh more than 10lbs in the boxes and the monitor can't weigh more than 10 to 15lbs in the box, so I think that has to be everything.

That looks like everything. I'm excited for you and it's not even my stuff! lol.

yeah my PC is super old been using Mac for most my needs these days because I don't game as much as I used to. Now there are few new games I want to play plus I want to run lots of virtual machines and with 4gigs of ram and a processor that boasts 12mb of cache I should be able to run at least 3 VMs at once, which will be nice.
 
Ug, I just realized I have to buy a whole new KVM switch now, since all my machines are now digital. My Macs have been digital for a while but my PC video was analog. So, I am in the market for a whole new KVM switch.....

Well glad I got that credit I guess since KVMs are so damn expensive!

If you can find me a decent one, 4 port, DVI, USB , Audio, good max resolution (at least 1900x1200) for under $100 you will win a prize.

Ha! I'll take a look at Hard Forum for a used one at that price, but I think you know a new one would be impossible.
 
Yeah I know :mad:

The ones I like are in the $300 range. Why are they so damn expensive? I wonder what the mark up on them is? I will just have to make friends with someone who gets a wholesale or employee discount and buy them a 6 pack of beer or something to get me the item at cost.

looks nice but they skimp out on the cables and give you DVI-D instead of DVI-I, which wouldn't matter much to me since I am all digital now, but would suck if I had to ever hook up an analog system (like when I fix my cousins computer at home for example). Those cables are expensive.

I will keep looking. I am trying to hook up an employee discount somewhere at the moment. I bet the mark up on these things is ridiculous.
 
That is a great question, not sure. Cables have crazy mark ups, that I know for sure. I can probably get a hook up on cables.
