Do you mean that you have finished building it already?! Well, now you can decipher all of it for me - - lol - - Anyhow, it looks really spiffy, complicated, but spiffy. You will have fun with it. Keep in touch - -
luv - - - me here - -
remember me? i told you to move back to the US on the sapphire forums, come back brother! Doesn't that case make you feel a little unmanly though? also, you have way too much money lol
This computer is insane.
i saw this link on r3d forums.
Bravo.
What sort of PSU is in that box?
The standard 250W PSU or did you upgrade that?
I am asking because I have been planning to to buy the X800XT when it hits the shelfs in Denmark for my little SB75G2 equipped mostly like yours except my SATA harddisks are configured in raid 0, but "experts" here in Denmark have advised me that the PSU of SB75G2 is not powerfull enough to run the X800XT...
I hope that you have proven them wrong.
hey plu2!
In answer to your question - my PSU is the standard SilentX, 250W unit that came with my Shuttle. It hasn't had any problems whatsoever, even when I've overclocked both my video card and FSB - I've had it at 3.5GHz (220-225 FSB) and the video card around 560/560MHz, no problems at all!
Although I haven't tested it with an X800XT (obviously, since they're not available yet) I plan on doing so as soon as they hit the market, and will post back with results - although, I don't expect there to be any difference. The SilentX PSU is GREAT, and I don't think you should worry about it powering your rig, at all. :)
Nice rig bud :-D Congrats! So what did you do with the X800Pro? Were you able to get some cash back?
Whoa. I wish I was in japan. I also wish I knew japanese.
What's the slowest Frame rate that you get in Underground with these settings? Please show us your screenshots!!! And what about in the Mafia Game?
nice system, but what the hell were you thinking with the Intel??? AMD 64 pwnz!
i got my X800 XT in, but i dont have that good of
ram, monitor, only one 160G HD... but im using an AMD 64 3200+!
when will the processor rivalry end?
Sweet Holy Moses.....
