Here’s the thing though. There is very little that my pc, Citan’s hunk of junk, or Raven’s PC can do that yours cannot.

Which is why I don’t care. It may not be the best but at nearly 2 years old it still keeps pace and when you strip everything else away that’s all that really matters.

All I have to do is spend $250 on a new video card and it easily catches up to you guys.

What’s wrong with yours? I hate mine WTB new one, but Kstone restrictions are in place blocking all attempts to spend money on PC components.

Nothing really wrong with it. I’d like to expand but I’m out of easily accessible space. To add any more SATA I’d need a controller card. My PSU will need to be replaced in about a year due to capacitor aging. Cooling pump probably needs replacing.

It’s basically got about a year left in it before things start breaking down. For the near 24/7 usage I’ve gotten out of it, I’m not complaining.

BEASTLY

thanks. My virtual machines will love me for that RAM upgrade. You should see what I’m currently running and you’d realize that I probably had this beast coming to me. Athlon 64 3500+, 1.5 GB of crappy RAM, 320 gig hard drive, and an eVGA 8500 GT that I upgraded to 6 months ago. I currently get a BIOS warning every time I turn it on and it’s not always the same one.

I assume you’re NOT putting that one in oil

That build looks pretty good Andy.

I’m still surprised they let you graduate.

There is a company that sells PCs already in oil. Looks really cool but last I checked they didnt have plans for the i7

No. I’m not.

I really enjoy seeing the sidebar gadget showing this massive list of 8 cores, and RAM hovering around 10%. I just put on Titan Quest and maxed everything out without lag. Now to install Crysis…
