My Friend Jeff's New Gaming Computer System

[vicaphit]

Hmm...perhaps vicaphit and I could stop by and we could have ourselves a small cincy LAN Party.

Too bad that is the region of Ohio I visit the least. I have only found myself in cinci once for an interview, and all of my weekends are taken up by travel elsewhere.

I might consider it if something is planned though.

wow those wires need to be cleaned up.. it looks pretty good to me- makes me think i need to go home and clean up my rats nest..

[vicaphit]

Those wires need cleaned up? I won't dare show you mine!

wait, let me get this straight, he spent about 800 dollars more than he needed to to get an extreme edition, and he hasnt even tried uping the multi yet? hes lucky apop isnt me, if i was there i would have slaped him across the face several times with his own genitals, then stole his cpu so it at least is put to good use

[AreXus]

Very nice, I'm jealous. Wish I had the money...

just an update on the system... He cleaned off Vista 64-Bit and went back to Vista 32-bit so his printer would work.

[Indignity]

LOL "Cleaned off" ... I like that analogy :D

With this brutal 1100 Watts PSU, it would be a real shame not to use up the excess idle PSU power. I did rather connect an additional 8800 GTS card and do some nice SLI there. There is even plenty of room for a 3-Way GTX or Ultra SLI (considering a change to the right motherboard, of course...)

[yurchie]

Haha, that PSU is insane. I used the power supply calculator and that worked out pretty well, because it seems people overestimate their power supply needs, as your 380 example illustrates. That looks like a great system though.
