Thread: Ordered new rig xD

Yes.

The market is just perfect right now. nVidia doesn't release shit (well, the 9800GTX is shit) because they got the monopoly. Intel just came out with 45nm on old 775 socket. RAM is CHEAP as hell. Hard drives just went into the new generation with higher data density.

I ordered my new rig and it should arrive any day now. I'm looking forward to finally playing some recent games and enjoying HDR for the first time.

Paid around 1350 € for this, or 2130 US$, or 1100 £. That really isn't much, considering it comes complete with monitor, mouse and better fans. There should be quite a lot of overclocking potential which will make the rig easily beat a much more expensive Quad+GTX setup in actual use.

It has:

P182 case with better silent case fans (Scythe S-Flex) *creampants*

Intel C2D E8400 2x3Ghz with this sucker:
Xigmatek S1283 Red Scorpion

4 GB OCZ DDR2-1000 RAM
NV 8800 GTS G92 512 MB (Asus)
Western Digital 640GB
X-Fi XtremeMusic
LG L227WT 22'' monitor with wide color gamut

Logitech G5 Refresh *creampants*


And all of that is gonna land on this beauty: P5K-E WiFi with WLAN access point, eSATA, Firewire and everything you could hope for.


It's really just a Deluxe in disguise


Building this cutie will be THE PWN and bring my balls to a boil.
I'll head for 2x4Ghz on the CPU.

To be honest: The only reason I'm buying this is Left 4 Dead.
