Whatever is in his sig :P
Even though it looks like some of those parts may go in to the new one :s
But I'll still take it ;p

Sarcasm? What is this you speak of? =D

*edit*
Is it really better to go with The WD Raptors, that are SATA 1.5gb/s, or the 3.0gb/s SATA drives?
I read somewhere that the 3.0gb/s SATA > WD Raptors.
(On these forums I read that I think, but I didn't see anyone argue him on it)
 
Drivers,motherboard,processor,power supply and ehh 10% of the cables r connected lol =]

i'll continu tommrow, i will take pictures when im done and post them on here. me or omega will be posting them. and im sure he'll post pictures after he overclocks the #$#@$#@#$ out of that beast.


g'nite

Not by a long shot. SATA 1.5gbs and SATA II is all a marketing gimmick...there's no difference, really. On the other hand, the Raptors run at 10,000 RPM, versus the standard 7,200 RPM, meaning it accesses the data faster.
 
Wouldn't it have been better to go with a SCSI 15k RPM HDD then?
If there's money to burn...
SCSI controllers are mad expensive though :/

can u show me gforce 8800xt its pics and wow nice spec but intel core is not really needed..

I'm not sure if I'm really understanding your post, do you want to see pictures of the 8800XT? And what's this about not needing the quad core processor?
 
its Built, the monster is alive!

few problems thou!
dual gtx geforce arnt doing very well.. 64 bit vista drivers installed from nvidia. installed 64 bit motherboard drivers as well from nvidia as well.

sound card seems ok, but when i hit properties under computer , it doesnt show as the 3D graphics are working or what not.

maybe something wrong or nvidia still having problem wiht vista, or i did something wrong. but according to what i hear, nvidia are working with SLI to be stabled atm with vista.
