Building a computer...

[MichaelVash7886]

Been picking out parts, finally put in the order and now just have to wait for them all to get here. i can post a list of the parts if you guys want. I won't have a good monitor for a while, but hopefully I can get a good one sometime around Chrstmas.

Has anyone else built one?

No idea what you just said... :)

But that's awesome about building a comp. I was thinking about doing that, but I decided to just buy one. :)

[twistedblister]

ha. my mother board was an Asus. board with SLI crossfire ATI wiring for the video cards. hence i could scale link interface sli my video cards together to act as one . although spliting workload it does not double the gpu strenght

[twistedblister]

and stick when i get my cash flow and buy the new yellow dog i will burn it and send it to you i have not forgot.

Second part still didn't make sense...oh well!

You know what I want...

ok i am hammerd and unable to read it but i understand it shopping list wise. i need to read this tomorrow

[stickcult]

Not entirely sure what all that exactly means, but I can understand CPU speeds and memory, etc, and it sounds nice. Also, good decision to go with XP over Vista.

man i need a new computer. mine is like 5 or 6 years old lol i can't play any recent computer games with out lagging my comp really badly lol

Basically he's saying he can plug in two video cards to really kick graphics processing into high gear.

That's why I'm building this one. I'll know what's in it and what I will need to change to update certain things.

thats the reason i got a triple. upgrading gear and parts and crap to play new games doesn't appeal to me. so i got what i thought had the sexiest specs.

A triple core processor?

I don't necessarily want to upgrade for games. Just 4 or 5 years down the line, it may be running slow again. All I'll have to do is pop the mother board, RAM, and processor out and add the new stuff needed.

[MichaelVash7886]

Oh and this should be in Friday or Monday. Hopefully I can put it all together then and take a picture of it.

Get Team Fortress 2!!

I'm getting lonely..

[MichaelVash7886]

Not a huge FPS fan. May check it out though.

[stickcult]

It's pretty cool. I've got a guest pass thingy for it (like play it for 3 days or something) if you want to try it. I've got no one else to give it to.. >:0
