    Cool My possible new computer

    I went for the best on every component. No compromises, a truckload of money.

    -ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe Socket AM2 Motherboard
    -AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+
    -Corsair 2 x 1024MB DDRAM - Lifetime Warranty - on the lookout for powerful RAM
    -Seagate Barracuda 400GB HDD 7200rpms SATA
    -SONY Floppy Disk
    -LG 4167B DVD-RW 52x/16x
    -2 X nVidia GeForce 7900GTX 512 MB
    -Creative X-PI Xtreme Music(sound card)
    -Antec TX1050B cover
    -Logitech Media Elite Keyboard
    -Logitech G7 mouse


    Looking for a monitor. The cover has 2 coolers integrated, so has the motherboard.

    The price: You don't wanna know.
    Please tell me your thoughts about this.
    I'm interested in:
    -quality of the chosen products
    -power

    Thanks.

    Absolutely delightful rig edyzmedieval...

    Everything is great, nice job on the twin nVidia GeForce 7900 GTX, running in SLI, that would be a beast.

    Your definitely getting the top of the line cheese with that.

    Two things:

    What's the price? (please tell)

    I think a 300 GB hard drive is too much, but hey, you know best what you're going to be doing (all that pr0n has to fit somewhere ).

    As soon as some of the fall games come out (Neverwinter Nights 2, Battlefield 2142, and of course M2:TW) i'm going to upgrade the graphics card.

    I'm holding off on a new computer until 2007, when Vista comes out and Dual Core becomes a bit cheaper. Looking at Alienware for that, though I only have about $1500 right now.

    I'm a normal guy, not really with pr0n, but my computer is stuffed with basketball videos and different programs(C++, Blender...) and tons of games.

    The price is about 3000 euros.
    I need 300GB because I will have tons of games on it.

    And this comes at a price though: I need to pass my exams with very good marks.

    On the bright side, you won't have to upgrade for a very long time.

    Have fun mate, hope you get it.

    The 300GB is cheap for it's size(and it's a good brand too). It's a Seagate, and costs 150 euros. It's IDE though, I need to search for a SATA2 with about 10000rpms which will go for maximum power.

    The 2 nVidias go over 30000 points with 3D Mark 2005!!!

    I would either buy an AMD or wait for the new generation of Intel chips (coming pretty soon). The Pentium chips are pretty outgunned as far as gaming is concerned.

    Nice rig though. You better do well in your exams now!
