If you mean, "stop being technically correct and noticing outright fallacies" ... no ... you and I both know that post#57 was "out there" and it simply wasnt possibleOh cmon, stop picking on em Praetor.
Why do I need two 7800GTX KO Edition cards if they aren't SLI? Or am I getting something wrong? And does this come with a case? And what all else do I need to buy to play right away? (Example : Mouse, Keyboard, Speakers (Yeah, I want/need them).Praetor said:Consider this:

And thats just a starter setup....
You really don't need a surround sound system for gaming. Its expensive and I assume this comp is going to be in your room so theres no need for surround sound for a small room. Its better to have a headset. You don't bother any one (if u decide to up the volume) and u can hear little things which makes the game experience better and its great to have a mic to be able to talk to other people instead of typing all the time. I recommend getting this http://www.plantronics.com/gaming/en_US/index.html?WT.mc_t=Gaming&WT.mc_n=nam&_requestid=57760pbsk8er03 said:Speakers: Logitech Z-5500 for insane 5.1 THX certified surround
Mouse: Razer Copperhead, best mouse on the market at the moment. (search it on www.google.com)

What? Is this where I do SLI with the two KOS? and is the motherboard I guess SLI compatible?X24 said:Well, what about logitec's new smart mouse? that thing seems awesome.....
also preator, that is Geil One series not mushkin.
also, i do believe those aren't KO's they are just OC'd GTX's.....then again KO's are OC'ed GTX's so ya, no problem there really.
I never said they arent SLI (they are btw)Why do I need two 7800GTX KO Edition cards if they aren't SLI?
No. I rarely spec cases because i usually end up saying somehtig like "who the hell cares about the bling bling case" or something about "its what's inside that counts not the pretty lights or window"And does this come with a case?
You'll need input devices and a display. I rarely spec displays too (for roughly the same reasons) but as for input devices, a simple keyboard and baseline mouse (although i am reluctant to call the MX518 a baseline mouse lol) will suffice. As for speakers, I personally have the Z5500s and enjoy them immensely.And what all else do I need to buy to play right away? (Example : Mouse, Keyboard, Speakers (Yeah, I want/need them).
12hr battery and thats a fix?? The MX1000 lasts 72-96hrs nonstop heavy useageIt's tied with the Logitech G5. Then there is the wireless G7 which is a great wireless mouse for gaming. Logitech fixed a lot of the wireless problems like having two Li-lon batteries that while you play with one you can charge the other and batteries can last up to 12 hours
Yah whatever ... a typo here and therealso preator, that is Geil One series not mushkin.
Not that im challenging .. but do you have any links that say so? AFAIK, the KO editions are the ones using ACS³ and the "normal" use a reference-like cooleralso, i do believe those aren't KO's they are just OC'd GTX's.....then again KO's are OC'ed GTX's so ya, no problem there really.
Well the name of the mobo has "SLI" in it (yes it is)What? Is this where I do SLI with the two KOS? and is the motherboard I guess SLI compatible?
sarcasm(dripping, "Wow that was a profoundly intelligent post.");alienware.period.
Agreed (however, if you are looking to play FEAR @ 2048@1536 4x 16x ... thats a whole different ballgame ) and considering the original budget and what i ended up making ...SLI is pretty overrated since I just recently tested an SLI machine, and it only increased the framerate by 15FPS in BF2, and since the cost of another 7800GTX (to match the one that was in the system) is pretty steap I wouldn't consider SLI a good investment.
