ftctoolftc · 01-16-2008, 01:53 AM

IShb3w · 01-16-2008, 04:08 AM

Mistergou · 01-16-2008, 07:30 AM

Niiice setup! But....

I would have gone w AMD!

FloridaOrange · 01-16-2008, 07:59 AM

I prefer AMD as well for my home rig.
Very nice vid card.

Unrealford · 01-16-2008, 04:12 PM

I always used AMD, This is my first Intel, I have 3 or more computer subscriptions and they ALL praise the Intel and keep saying AMD is trying like Hell to play catch up with Intels new processors. Also if you look at some 4-6 grand gaming pcs, you will see they use Intel in most !!

Phil · 01-16-2008, 04:29 PM

I'm impressed Shawn..!!! Awesome computer you put together!

MachdUp1 · 01-16-2008, 04:45 PM

I've been doing computer support for 20 years and that may be the coolest motherboard I've seen. I say may because that picture makes me think I've drank way to much and I'm actually sober.

MCHNROL · 01-16-2008, 06:05 PM

Nice computer Shawn.

PintoPower · 01-16-2008, 06:31 PM

What are the "street" prices on all those components? I'm thinking of building an HTPC.

For all those parts and among a few other items, parts added up to 1200.00 bucks, Not bad I figure considering you cant find a Dell or any store brand that even comes close to these specs for the price..

Nice machine! I just built my first Intel, after years of running AMD. I got tired of the massive heat an AMD generates when you overclock. I spent about the same as you and I went with:

Intel Q6600 Quad Core 2.4 GHZ
Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 Express Core 2 Extreme motherboard
Dual ATI Radeon X1950 Pro video cards, Crossfire linked
2MB Corsair XMS-6400 Extreme Performance memory
Western Digital Caviar SE 7200 rpm 250GB hard drive
Coolermaster Extreme 650w power supply
Coolermaster Elite 330 midtower case

I can post pics if anyone is interested, the motherboard has the copper heat piping like yours but it is configured differently.

It plays Crysis, Call Of Duty 4, Medal Of Honor Airborne and Race '07 (The official World Touring Car Champoinship game) and FEAR really well. I am waiting impatiently for Far Cry 2 and Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty.

65fastback2+2 · 01-17-2008, 12:06 AM

i wouldnt have used a MSI mobo...but thats personal preference

as far as intel vs. amd, it depends on what your computer is doing...the new quad core amd phenom's have been benching higher in gaming than intel's, but slower in raw power

TEXASDSGMACH1 · 01-17-2008, 12:47 AM

I'm still using a 5 year old desktop with a 40g hard drive, but it does have a 27in LCD for a monitor

and I dont even play computer games lol just internet and office

muddman · 01-18-2008, 05:05 PM

amd fan as well but everything there is tops amd new chip phenom Cannot keep up with intel in gaming nice setup.

torchredmach · 01-19-2008, 01:56 AM

One word... watercooling!

Mach1Man04 · 01-19-2008, 05:24 PM

will that run WoW??? haha

Shinigami · 01-19-2008, 05:49 PM

AMD is in the lose right now, but I still prefer them (better prices). I'm not big on the case, but looks like a nice build.
