[ohyoudidntknow]

Have you got Crysis? Can you play it on highest settings on highest res? What FPS you get if you can? 40?

[Dazarthas]

Mega-powerful gaming rig > wife?

[Enerzeal]

Couldnt you get a 15k rpm HD? Or is my lack of PC knowledge showing through.

[tehghost132]

Ive got a rig similar to this, be sure to get a case with some good air flow. :ninja:

[Killuminati]

wife and kids is overrated these days.

Nice rig there old chap! Sorry to hear about your wife, you can have mine for that rig? ;)

[biggunsar]

Couldnt you get a 15k rpm HD? Or is my lack of PC knowledge showing through.

why...YES IT IS!

15k is scsi only.

[BloodFletcher]

I get 60 constant on crysis on highest settings.

[ohyoudidntknow]

Nice rig there old chap! Sorry to hear about your wife, you can have mine for that rig? ;)

And mine! We could split the rig. Would still put most down the shitter ROTFLMAO

[ohyoudidntknow]

I get 60 constant on crysis on highest settings.

omg

[Killuminati]

I get 60 constant on crysis on highest settings.

I get 15 fps beat that

[Achromic]

I think with that kind of rig and that amount of 280s. Liquid Cooling with non-conductive liquids is a better option.

[Pcheez]

Man has his priorities straight.


Wait, no, you're fucked in the head.

Let me guess, they left you because instead of being a responsible husband/father, you chose to wither your time away melting faces off pixels.

That rig will not hug you.

In fact, i think it will only depress you.

As such, it is in your best interest to hand the rig over to me.

If you say so.

[Lictor]

Partially I do understand you, but on the other hand I think you're a moron.

[Ankh]

Oh yes.

The Antec 1200.

[Pcheez]

Marriage guidance at it's finest.

Everybody wins.

[Wickfield]

never heard of a triple sli setup... I suppose that you'll destroy most games coming out for the next year or so?

congrats, and sorry about the wife.

[no-one]

You need some solid sate hard-drives in RAID 0.

Nice machine.

[Shyhalu]

Mega-powerful gaming rig > wife?

Mega powerful rig won't leave you for some irrational self centered reason, or demonize you to your kids afterwards.

[Durindana]

that machine better suck you and fuck you too

[kordoyn]

that machine better suck you and fuck you too

That's what the extra USB drives are for at the front of the case.

[Slaker]

Great choice, nice rig over your wife and kids. You will have a lots of fun with this new rig.

[Aragoni]

6000 eh? Get a life.

Only 4 GB? Madness. You need 16 GB (4x4 GB).

[Mippoose]

great choices...except one.

There is when you are spending over 800$ on a system.

[Metal Wolf]

why...YES IT IS!

15k is scsi only.

Get SAS drives nub. cheetah 15.5k You can grab SAS controller cards for the low low price of $150.

[GFH_Spike]

Congratulations on your overkill. That is, a waste of £4000. Your fellow gamers (Forumfall strangers) will be mildly impressed now.

[rockyraccoon]

now my master plan has come into play. marry this chap in some liberal fagfest, divorce within half a year and take two out of the three of his GTX 280s.

[Ankh]

RAID 0 a couple of Intel SSDs for good measure. Cheap cheap.

You should of gotten an Asus Striker Extreme II mainboard instead of the EVGA. - purely for the 8 fan setup.

If you had of waited a couple of weeks you could of gotten a slightly better one coming out..

Still, nice rig.

I would recommend water cooling..

[Mr.LichTwitch]

Very nice! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GoCvuu0dlQ)

There's nothing better than to hook up the snug with the worthwhile, right?

[Lieal]

Pointless, only 4GB will be used on 64BIT :P

You're thinking of 32 bit systems.

[Gotrex]

Very nice rig. Way overpriced for what your actualy getting but im guessing if you can aford that you earn enough to waste a few grand.

As for the RAM comments, no game I can think of would really use 8GB of RAM

[Spinewire]

May aswell get more ram and an extra HD for raid 0 then you are good to go...

You should 3d benchmark it as see how good it is, i'm guessing with tripple sli it's going to be pretty wank and very few configurations actualy give you much of a boost.

If this rig came before you got divorced, then you're a dumbass. Rig FTL.

If this rig came after you got divorced, then great! Rig FTW.

If your wife and children passed away, then...
if your comment is literally genuine, you're one sick individual - get therapy; or,
if your comment is a defence mechanism (IE a joke) then you have my condolences - get therapy.

[Malhavok]

Get SAS drives nub. cheetah 15.5k You can grab SAS controller cards for the low low price of $150.

Why? Velociraptors are have higher capacity, and are competitive on access time with SAS drives while costing a fraction of the price. The only real concern with them is the Raptors never had a track record of reliability.

[ExiliuM]

I'm sorry about your wife, and also about the Fatal1ty headset. It's shit, really. I had it for about 2 months before the mic broke, and a short time later the rest of the headset followed. Too much bass too. Overrated.

But very nice rig though
