Total Cost - $2886.68 I didn't realize I had that much cash invested. I'm sure I've spent
close to $10,000 in the past 5 years though :-)

The shipping charges oversea's isn't to bad for the lightweight stuff. But the heavier items like the
Monitor would be outrageous :-)

Edit: Total Cost - $3383.08 - I didn't count both Video Cards the 1st time

interesting. however, scratch the 8800GTX. a 600 dollar powerunit is a bit too much for me. Gives me the shivers, too. My dad always complains about the energybill, with a 850W psu, i might as wel double it i think. Great review with it there: i quote: 'Blows the breaker when someone is ironing'... damn.

ah well, i probably keep playing my games at a top 1280x1024 resolution, but im still suffering from FPSdrops in certain games, and AA and AF are not really working that great. Maybe my next upgrade will be: new mobo (with PCI-e 3>), GFXcard like a 1650 or something. i dunno anymore. any recommendations?

Well the prices are getting cheaper all the time. Although
this mobo isn't my 1st choice, at $75.00 with S/H it sounds
like a good budget mobo to me. And that Opteron will
slide right in it :-)

You didn't exactly say what MB you were talking about there chief. And I hate to ask what you want for that Opteron in the first place. Especially after seeing that they sell for $188 on newegg.

AND CHRIST ON A POGOSTICK!!
$599 for a power supply?!?!?!?!
Jeebus! Does that come with daily hand jobs or anything?

[Magus]

Nice rig you got there, impressive processor rates too, ever though on using liquid nitrogen to cool it for even higher rates?
Dang i want to review hardware too :P

Sorry about that BuffaloChips, I mean't to post a link

NewEgg wants $188 for the Opty, I'll take $125 with free shipping :-)
As for $599 on a Power Supply. The power supply is the heart of any
system. Good steady voltages no matter what your load is will keep
your system running steady for a long time. I've had more than a few
power supplys pop and kill other components in the process. And with
a Quad SLI setup a lot of power is needed. And PC Power & Clg. makes
the finest PC Power Supplies on the planet.

To Manus:
The Liquid Nitrogen pot will be for my attempt's to set a world record
overclock. It will be my 1st attempt's so I probably won't be successful
right off the get go. But I'm gonna try :-)

[Magus]

Just be sure to try it alot on fake mobo's/processors, because if you leak..

Btw i might take a rig a bit the same like yours although no dual sli and no expensive psu

[BuffaloChips]

Slay wouldn't one of those UPS/powerconditioners have been less expensive? My brother-in-law had one at one time and said that it was to keep the power levels steady as well as to prevent loss of data in a power outage. He said his had enough reserve power for about 2 hours in an outage. Seems that and a good strong supply would have been cheaper, but that is me. Then again I don't have unlimited funds for stuff like that. God knows I wish I had $3000.00 I could blow on a rig like that!

Would dominator Ram be better than xms2?

In the long haul probably. But right now you'd need a system a lot nicer than mine
to actually get any benefits from it. As it stands I still have plenty of headroom
with the XMS2 PC8500 :-)
