Memory - $365.99 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820145033

DVD/ROM - No Longer Listed
Floppy - $6.25 + 5.64 S/H - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16821152005
Monitor - My exact monitor is no longer listed. This is the new model and I paid about the same
- $473.99 + 33.68 S/H - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16824116121

Racing Wheel - $74.99 + 13.46 S/H - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16826128006
Speakers- Older than HELL and no longer listed
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?

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 :-)

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

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 :-)
