Hmm, nice spec, niec RAM specifically! Cooling is certainly up to spec! :D

Its your name that is a bit disturbing, or were you just having a joke? :p
 
In regards to overclocking the Radeon 9600XT, I was able to get it up to 585 MHz core and 335 MHz memory clock without extra cooling!
Next week I'm going to get dual 76 gig HDD's in RAID 0 configuration.
 
Hmm, nice bit of Overclocking - the question is how long will it last like that?

Is that two 300Gigs or two 150Gigs? Eitherway its a lot! Whenever I have to format mine (I have a non-SP1 install of XP) I have to format the last 30Gigs in Windows and Merge the Drives. Its really annoying.
 
Wow i can get my 5900 core up to 512mhz without busting it i think he would be able to run it like that for the time he is going to have that card.
 
A system I am proud of that I had made in 2000 and benchmarked somewhere so close to the top I could touch it, was_____________Dual Intel Pentium 3's 1866 MHz, 768 MB pc133 SDRAM(three 256 sticks),GeForce 2 ultra, 2 western digital 10 gig hard drives, 4 optical drives 1=cd-rom 36x, 1=dvd-rom5x, 2=24x cd-burners, 1=3.1/2" floppy drive, 1=3.1/2"100MB ZIP drive,7-case fans, 2-cpu fans, 1-power supply fan, 1-videocard fan, custom made ram cooling system. Windows 2000 professional.


that's all I can remember right now.Back in 2000 this was a monster!
I can't get all the credit for it though, my step brother helped me build it!

Thats a bloody nice thing in 2000! Wow; how much the stuff cost you?
 
I didn't really keep tab of how much I spent, but I started with 13,000 and after all the components, case, 20" CRT monitor etc, I was left with around 1,500. This was a "the sky is the limit" system.

How do you post a pic on this site, cause I wanted to show the one that I mentioned first?
