it is done!

[Rocket_Magnet]

well a while back i asked for help in devising a entire new system.... and i went out and bought one today :) ill write up the specs of nearly eveything i bought (i leave out some of the more obvious or insignificant stuff)

Abit IC7G P4 875P - 125 (all in pounds :) )
P4 3.2GHZ 800MHZ FSB - 424
4x 512 ddr400 pc 3200 ram - 204 (2048 mb of ram in total)
120gb 7200 rpm 2mb cache HDD - 66
MSI GF FX 5900 256MB DDR - 348 (no 9800 pros with 256 yet :( )
16x dvd - 26
52x cd rewriter - 30
inspire 6700 6.1 speakers - 56
audigy 2 - 75
19" flatron lg crt screen- 190

blah (other stuff includes network card, office xp pro, xp pro, and keybord et mouse)

alll together i spent 2535 pounds.... this system should last me..... a while (when a i say a while i mean the next 3-4 years :p)

you may now begin calling me a fool and the such for spending so much :)

I hope that means I have a big penis.
Either that, or an outdated computer. :)

[BillyBadAss]

/me gets a throbing feeling in his pants while thinking about the 875P.:mwink:

[Rocket_Magnet]

lol, well im a very happy man for the moment :) bit of a long wait though.... but heh i even went and got a wireless optical keyboard and mouse set :D

oh and ill post my scores for 3dmark2k3, 2k1, and ut2k3 benchmark when i get the system a week on wednesday

[SugarBear]

please tell me you're rockin the logitech cordless elite duo.

then you and I would have identical systems except I have a much lower end video card and a 15 inch monitor, crappy speakers and I have a raidmax case and psu instead of the thermaltake one(but I have wanted a TT case for a while)

[Cap'n Beeb]

Shazam holmes... but... you got that pre-built? Why not slap it together yourself? :)

[Hunter]

nice :tup:

[Rocket_Magnet]

beer: the main reason was, even though it was my money to spend my parents (well my dad) said there had to be a warranty on the system as a whole, and that i would be able to return it if it were slighty fuxxored.... so, the place i got it micro direct, are in the centre of manchester so theres no problem taking it back (i hope i dont need to) and anyways the service charge was 50 including os installation so it didint break the bank :)

[flookster]

Very nice pc but 2 and a half large is a lot of cash to fork out - would have broke my heart.

[Rocket_Magnet]

well i finally got the fecker, and its geat... the sub on the 6.1s is HUGE... ill post motr benchmarking stuff tomorow, ill leave you with this

[Deathmaker]

Nice rig but damn, you need to do some tweaking! I have you beat (just) with a CPU running 1100MHz. slower, a quarter of the RAM (also running slower) & I'll bet my rig cost a third of the price. :eek: :p

[Hunter]

dont supose u have 2 grand i could use to build a nice system?

[KJAX]

Excellent system, dude.

I wouldn't worry too much about tweaking.

[Clayeth]

I took a similar approach when I built this one last year (not THAT nice though), but I wish I hadn't. From now on I'm going to go more with moderate performance and keep the price low... that way I get to build new ones more often... I'm itching to build another one and looking for someone who wants a new computer that would let me do it for them, since mine has another year or two on it before it would even need any upgrade at all, much less replaced.

[flookster]

I only built this one three months ago, finished one for a buddy last week and am looking forward to getting my hands in again anytime soon. I'm considering putting together (a totally unnecessary) shuttle for myself sometime soon.

OMG! u spend 424 pounds on a CPU??? /me faints

edit: Swweeeeeet System tho :tup: Like deathmaker said, crank it up a bit, i'm also close on you score with a XP2800+ (2079Mhz)

[L_S]

/me nuts all over your computer

[Original9]

alll together i spent 2535 pounds.... this system should last me..... a while (when a i say a while i mean the next 3-4 years :p)

I doubt it'll last two years.

[DialAJunk]

I've been wanting to do a similar system (who hasn't), but I am afraid I will regret it with all this 64-bit architecture looming on the horizon...

Lemme guess... Dell Dimension 4100 series. :p

[Clayeth]

It could last that long, but the problem isn't that it won't be able to work on the new games for 3 years... but that you'll get the itch to upgrade long before it gets outdated.
