lol! Try $2300 Awesome rig napster! Shame about the Corsair stick. Those sticks are fucking expensive ($5-600!) but 2GHz worth of ownage. Edit: !? 3.8K for CPU, Mobo and RAM?? $600 for RAM, $900 for CPU and $700 for the board... |

How did you get an i7 950 when they aren't even released yet to the public? They don't get released until May 31st worldwide. |

| 3 x SLI that would be sick, thats wat i was gonn go for but performance wise on Crysis (thats wat i bought my rig for) quad Sli was better( after research), might have to look into water cooling as i just have fans, but im not OC'ing im just running stock, hehe the same machine as mine less the ram and raptor gets 30900 on the benchy stock, wats yours do |

| ROFL that's an EPIC rig dude. Just need 4 more sticks of RAM and its gonna truly PWNT any thing for a while (or at least until larrabee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larrabee ). Get wars going all very high 16xQAA and tell us the average FPS. Happy gammin bro.

| CPGPU actually
Expect the next couple years of computing to REALLY put out some massive numbers on 3DVantage and shit.
Octocore cpus
New styles of RAM like ZRAM and higher ratings of DDR
SSD's gaining more speed and size
CPGPU's and smaller architecture to bring more efficient and powerful graphics control.
BIOS will become obsolete (Happening now with alot of new MOBO's)
Direct X 11 and 12
bring it ON |

| yeah the ASUS P6T has that, it just doesn't have the onboard memory so you need to use the HD for the OS. It's still way faster than logging in normally. I tested it, it took about 10-15 sec for me. I'm sure it would take <5 with flash memory. |

| nah it's just a limited version of linux i think. I didn't use it for long because i installed win7 and it doesn't seem to work for win7 as of yet.
It had all the essentials though... Messenger, internet, mail etc. |

That bench just goes to show Crysis will never run at stupidly high frame rates. THREE GTX285's and it still barely cracks 60fps. |

| Fuck Me! that is nice,
shame about the colour of the coolant though, would have looked nice with bright silver shit running through it (like mercury).
Did you buy a case specifically wihtout the side so you could look at all that cash gone to waste and pull yourself? or did you leave it off like a pretty girl without cloths? what a shame to cover it up?
My challenge to you is this..
Duke Nuke Em on 800x600 ... the ultimate test! |

One thing (well 3 actually) i would like to know mate is what idle and load temps you getting, and what size rad you have fitted in the front there, again fucken nice rig mate. cheers mate. Sounds like u have 1 hell of a rig yourself. idle temps vary depending on room temps but at the moment it is sitting at 26c and around 44-57 on load running benchmarks. During games i would not know, would have to monitor it. Running triple rad at the front of the case. got some pics which i will see if i can find. found em http://www.maxishine.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6&start=1040 scroll down a tad |

| Hmm thats the same place i was thinking of setting up mine, i was just a little worried that it mite increase the case temp though. Is that a swiftech rad? Was going with the swiftech 360 but ended up ordering the Feser 120 triple exterme, has 2 more rows of cores. May end up just mounting it on a stand outside the case. |
