Yes but it's a waist dude. Or I would have done it trust me. I have 2 8800GT's on a ASUS Striker II Formula & that is more than enough for what I need with a 24" monitor. I'd strongly suggest at the very least going with a high quality 24-30" monitor. If you spent that much money getting quality shouldn't you at least be able to see it?

agreed

like i said this computer is for benchmarking
i am looking into a liquid nitrogyn and a q9650
setup

also i think i am going to get 2 9800gx2's

i will have one of the higest 3dmark scores
maybe break a world record but thats high hopes
lol

Should be a good setup. But I don't want to get into anything personal but it seems your priorities are a little out of place. If I were to a setup like that I would definitely have more right and reason to. But like I said before to each his own.

But you do realize the money your putting into that is equal to a good vacation package? Something nice for the gf, wife?

Just a thought.

haha dont tell clarkey how to spend his money or u will make a vary powerfully enemy lol j/k

Oh no absolutely not.


I should have put it in a "IMO". And it's not my money.

So my appologies if any offenses

That's all well & good just there isn't any Practical reason behind what you're doing is my point. Sure braging rights blah blah whatever but do you think you'll seriously have a worlds record there when countless others have millions of dollars at the tip of their fingers & have already broken said records with the best of equipment out their available. I just don't want to see you waste your money on something that's absolutely useless right. Some of your money from those cards could very easily have gone into I really nice 24" Monitor or whatever. I would love to have 2 of those in my system but it just wasn't practical & complete overkill right. It's your money though dude. It's a nice setup IF you can get it to work properly.

hahaha
no worries money is not tight over here so its no big deal

and i am sending the wife to texas this summer


my money makes me money and thats who i keep it

spending a few thousand dollars is not too much of a thing for me

i can use a few thousand if you have some to spare. heck i could use anything really.

lol i bet

anyways i just ordered a 42 inch lcd for my comp
now i can say i have full use of it
http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetai ... &langid=EN


also i am going to order 2 9800gx2's
these 9800gtx's are good but not good enough


so ill be listing a card for sale soon
for about 180 bucks


anyways cheers for now

Only a 42" LCD? at 1920x1080 you're still limiting youself on resolution.

A 27" screen is pretty damn big, but I would have gone to a 30" screen IF I woulda had the deskspace, which I don't. That and the current solutions don't even come with enough inputs (only DVI-D and VGA). 2560X1600 res is the way to go, if money is no object.

hahah i just got home josh. ill be calling u later today we weill talk aobut screens. i hope u didnt order a tv like i have here. what i have here looks good yes. but for the money i spent on this tv . as steve there said go with a 30 inch or 26 inch monitor rather then a tv. dont make the same mistake i did lol

ok guys ill wait till rone calls me and ill figure out what to get for a t.v


also i am doing yet another upgrade
here is what i have picked out

2 WD 1500ADFD 150GB 10K RPM - RAPTOR S-ATA, 16MB
2 BFG GTX 280 896MB GDDR3 PCI EXPRESS 2.0 GRAPHICS
1 INTEL Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz FSB1333 6MB LGA775
1 EVGA 132-CK-NF79-A1 Core 2 Quad/ nForce 790i DDR3 Ultra SLI/ 3-Way SLI/ A&2GbE/ ATX Motherboard
2 G.SKILL [ HK ] DDR3 PC3 1333MHz 4GB (2x2GB) 8-8-8-21 (MFG Lifetime) F3-10666CL8D-4GBHK


ok now this is going to be overclocked to mid to low 4 ghz and yet i will assume that this is going to bring in over 27000 points on 3dmark06

and i will have the best gaming comp around
woohooo i am so excited

i love it, hey guys start buyin stocks on puter gear
because when i am done they are gonna go through the roof

You mean when your done they will drop off. Lawl. (Stocks)

Gotta get them while they are growing.

lol You might have the best around in your circle of friends but I've already known countless people that have that setup already. Just curious as to why you didn't want to go Quad? I plan to yes all I do is game on my rig. Also the Raptors are over kill. I have 2 in my old system & I am going with 2 500G 32mb cache HDs in my Gamer for just about as much speed. Maybe 1-2 seconds slower in raid0. But then again you have the money to throw around right? What the hell might as well go with V-Raptors then if that's the issue what?

One more suggestion on your Monitor situation also. I was going to go with this but opted for a 24" Samsung instead. Go with the 30" & You won't regret it. Trust me had I not been in the middle of moving I would have grabbed one. http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/deta ... 0HUBCB/XAA
