I never understood why people give their pc build a codename. I just call it a pc. Also, the use of thumbnails eliminated a 56k warning.;)

Its not much to look at yet :D, its in pieces on the floor and shelves in my office until the Biostar Tforce 965 comes out.

[psyconut713]

so you finaly decided on a mobo for your rig?

[Btrice]

so you finaly decided on a mobo for your rig?

Yep, that is going to be the one. There haven't been that many reviews of it, a couple on here, anandtech, but the guys on here have done well with it and it should be dirt cheap. It sucks waiting for it cause ALL my other parts for the rig came in via UPS yesterday (except for the CPU) :(

Project omega? Is that the best you could come up with?

[Mako88]

Vid card blows, ram is likely overkill as you'll get nowhere near 400MHz+ with that 6300 unless you're clocking the ram up at 4:5, the ZF-900 is unnecessary as an overclock on such a lowball card doesn't produce a tangible fps result at higher resolutions...not the way I went myself:

-E6700 @ 3.7GHz
-Bad Axe r304
-Ninja cooler
-TeamXtreem DDR2-667
-ATi X1900XT
-FCS 700W Quad GPU/CPU capable ps
-WD Raptor 136GB hd
-Creative Labs X-Fi

If yours in an "Omega", I wonder what mine will be once I drop two R600s in it... ;)

Yup. You're gonna be GPU limited. Take some of that money and get a better video card.

Time to upgrade rpg...just installed a cold fusion model. Get with the times. ;)

[rpg711]

:ROTF: :lastweek: :rolleyes:
well... i just installed my ION battery that gives infinate volts and watts

[lightsource]

Videocard was bought for 72 dollars.

I just needed somthing better than my current FX5700LE.

I'll be selling this 6800GT soon and buying a X1950XT, otherwise this'll hold me over on BFMEII, AOE3, BF2, and CSS.

[rpg711]

it'l definatly hold u back in games
also, the amount of memory u have will hold u back
i have 1 gb and i cant run bf2 with high anything without running out of memory
and also, my dam video card screwed up and heated to over 126c... amazing how the core didnt melt yet

update: Pics Added

Camera phone, my friend has my camera.

[Ychocky]

Dude... Digital Macro is your friend, save a few paychecks and diggy camera yourself.

Nicely done, however I wll have to agree that you will need a bit more teeth in the GPU dept.

As I said I have a camera. But my friend has it.

Canon Digital Rebel XT w/ Canon 28-135mm lens

and the picture I took of my cases was taken with my grandmothers Sony DSC-V1.

[unclean]

:gay:

Agreed.

Not like he called it "the alpha and the omega".

Always loved that Lian-Li case :)
