well i finally am almost complete with my newest build. the computer in sig is pretty much what its going to be, however my 4870 should arrive sometime this week. i ordered it through work, so i paid a few extra bucks but to have it replaced at my bosses cost is worth it, imo. ANYWAY, to the good stuff...
So far, this thing is awesome. The E8400 more than satisfies my needs, crysis uses overall processor at a whopping 60%, granted thats not maxxed yet. But it plays anything and everything i can throw at it processing wise and soon graphics wise as well. The setup is pretty standard, 19" lcd, gaming laser mouse and standard usb logi keyboard.
Basically, just thought i'd share the rig.. i know everybody likes to discuss rigs.
thats crucial tracer ddr2 1066 in there, i freakin love those led's
ill update the setup and add some pictures tomorrow
as of now, im planning on getting rid of that red cathode in the bottom and putting a blue one in as well as a UV one right beside it so the 4870 glows. i didnt realize that the red/blue would look the way it does, the red kinda drowns everything out. also, the ugly IDE cable will be gone soon as im putting in a sata drive before too long. besides that, its gonna stay the way it is for a while, might double the ram here in a bit, but thats about it.
