Man, you know what's good. I can't understand people who aren't willing to try to understand these magic boxes they use every day. For those of us who do though, guess we get the upper hand in deals and stuff. My computer's fairly decent, cost 500 bucks, not nearly as good as yours, and completely different (prefer AMD) but the point remains. It saves tons of money. I used to work at a computer store and for a system of my caliber, they would have asked ~1100 probably. Probably would've touted the 2x7600GT in SLi too, but honestly, it was just cheaper.
Anyway man, good job sounds like a good rig and for a fairly unbeatable price. Nice going!

Thanks!
That's pretty neat, I just wish the pictures were of better quality.
Also, I'm surprised that the case for that thing was so expensive.
It's quality.
I'm surprised you didnt try to cram tons more processors in. some ppl trying to double up on quadcores, super overkill. But looking wt what youve provided, you've still got quite the machine. IM jeaouls. =/
There's no point in that at the moment. It's just overkill and wasted money.
You are the Mod I admire the most. I want to be a User just like you.
damn nature you scary
Woo? Good for you :)
that come by my house I kill it
Very nice job. Where did you buy the parts?
Newegg. I gave links.
Wow, that's awsome!
My friends build their own shit, I envy them :(
Do you have any suggestions on how to start learning to build a computer? I have close to zero knowledge but I really want to learn how to. However, I get intimidated looking at posts such as this because it's so much information to take in at once.
It's really easy. I just followed an online guide and the manuals. The motherboard manual explains everything really easy. It's no harder than legos.
WTF?! you bulit a computer? you just alone? wow, crazy man.

My computer technical built my dad's computer, and I agree, It's cheaper.
My dad has had that PC for 3 years and it still runs smoothly, not like mine :(
Be proud of what you've done :D
:))
thanks for ur help! I bought a new computer, and it works too good.
:D
What did I help with?
my pc has better lights on it
I'd like to see these lights, bitch.
Love the Geforce. My computer has it too.
As Spongebob would say: Its' like were blood brothers... Only closer. *pulls up shurt to reveal they are conjoined twins*"
lol
Happy with your results? Are you running Linux on that beast or Windows? I haven't had the funds to finance my own home built computer yet, but I've been meaning to build my next desktop for years now.
Yeah ,man. It feels great to have a computer that can actually watch flash and play games again. I'm running windows XP, but I just got my ubuntu disk in the mail, so I'm going to look into dual booting it.
Right now is a great time to start ordering parts. There's rebates and deals everywhere.
So i finally saved up about 900 dollars. Im looking to buy parts for a new computer.
Have any ideas yet?
In a couple of weeks I'm going to be buying parts a new built, well actually it's my first build :]
I'm getting the computer pretty much half price by building my own, and I guess as long as you know what you're doing it's well worth it... so here are teh specs:
Motherboard - MSI P35 Neo2-FR iP35
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
RAM - Corsair 4GB (2GBx2)
Video Card - Radeon HD 4850 (minorly better than a 9800GTX)
Hard Drive - Samsung Spinpoint 1TB 32mb cache
Power Supply - Hiper 550W
Case - Antec 300
Why do you need a quad core? Also, I would bump up the PSU to 600.
Awesome man! 15000 blams and 15000 saves at the same time! I'd take a screenshot if I was you.
It's been like that for a year and will always be like that.
I got an ATI 4870 recently, i just need to upgrade my processor now :D
Groovy!
dude when you made metroid crime you insulted everyone who rated it even if it was a 10. Thats not cool
You just don't understand true art, you ignorant fool.
I built my computer. Planning to build a newer one next year as well.
Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3L
CPU - Intel Pent. D 3.0Ghz (OC 3.9Ghz)
GPU - Nvidia 9800GTX+ 512MB (OC ALOT)
RAM - Kingston 4GB 677Mhz (OC 800 Mhz)
MB - ASUS - P5LD2
HD1 - 250GB SATA 7200RPM WesternDigital
HD2 - 500GB SATA 7200RPM WesternDigital
PS - 550WATT
OS - Windows Vista Ultimate - 64x
Case - Black with temperature display
Display - 20" LG LT204WT (24" Dell, soon)OS - Windows Vista Ultimate 64x
Pretty nice. Seems a bit overkill in some areas, but whatever. Why do you need vista ultimate? I'm sure vista home edition will suit your needs fine!

650 dollars? Damn, life in USA is cheap :S I shelled out twice as much for a similar but less powerful computer here in friggin Europe.

Did you build it yourself? Here prebuilt machines cost significantly more also.
