[180sExy]

hahahahha thats sooooo funnie.

[S14DB]

I've been looking at buying that motherboard. I need a 775 after the 680i debacle.

[Helghast]

it's dori ready!

..seriously, it's a good mobo tho.

[cali240sxdrifter]

only reason why I don't get it because it doesn't support Core 2 Duo...

[S14DB]

It doesn't? damn, what will make my E6600 happy?

[cali240sxdrifter]

I have a Asus P5NSLI board... really good... Its not a overclocker thou. I'm getting a E6600 too and around the max overclock on the cpu can be around 2.7 to a 2.8ghz... so its not too bad... Price is awesome and its SLI

[S14DB]

I'm not touching another 680i board. Looking at the BadAxe2 right now.

[cali240sxdrifter]

its a 570i :p

I'll wait till the price is lower on the BA2...

[kouki_s14]

im done with desktops

THIS will be my new laptop (http://www.alienware.com/Intro_Pages/ces07.aspx?from=Wi%20Wong:ces07&source=PRE0030)

Alienware Area 51 M9750

in a few months when the price goes down

[jrmiller84]

I was looking to buy an Alienware once before I built my current gaming computer. I just couldn't get over the size. I was buying it so I could combine my gaming rig with a laptop to take to class and the size killed it. I built the computer below after I made my decision.

I wound up getting a loaded Latitude D600 from my work for 50$ since they were going out of business. One helluva deal.

[cali240sxdrifter]

lol, i'm done with laptops... I have one right now and its all cool after a year and shit, but I love to game.... So i need a powerhouse desktop... look into Sager laptops, Alienware rebadges them with their own logo... Theres a SLI 7950 laptop in there i think...

will do, thanks for the tip

[jobestudios]

The mounting equipment should be zipties.

[Maverick7687]

That's hilarious! BTW, can anyone tell me exactly what the "Turbo" button on old computers did? I was playing with one some time ago and it didn't seem to do anything.

[cmcdougle]

I'm thinking about upgrading to 775, too. Too bad the drifter board doesn't support it.

hey, Maverick, are you the guy from Nico? You're name is the same.

[Maverick7687]

One in the same.. Figured I'd broaden my horizons once again.

I think it was a overclock sort of thing...It would jump a few clocks to still keep it safe...

[cmcdougle]

Cool. Well, welcome back!

[Maverick7687]

Ah.. Makes sense.. Guess they decided to do away with it since everyone overclocked pas that anyway.

[Maverick7687]

Cool. Well, welcome back!
Haha, thanks.. I see you put my post to good use..

[cmcdougle]

yeah lol, you like that?

[Maverick7687]

I'm still trying to decide if it was done in a smart-ass manor, as to insult me, or for some other unseen reason...

Either way I feel honored to have made it to a sig...

[cmcdougle]

I dunno why exactly I put it in there, just a good quote from a funny thread. No insults intended, though.

[Maverick7687]

That's cool.. seriously though... Have you looked at some of the other threads on there tonight? It's been a good night ;-)

[cmcdougle]

Yeah, I like the one guy that started like yelling at us for suggesting other companies. . .

[Maverick7687]

An instant classic that one is...
He posted the same question here too I noticed.. We should go suggest Enjuku and Heavy Throttle in it...

[cmcdougle]

I bet he'll like that . . .:keke:

[jrmiller84]

Yes, it was typically left turned on from what I gather and when a program that could not function at such a high speed (such as games) ran, they would turn it off so that it could operate normally. Here are a few resources...

Im hoping to prove AJ wrong with my setup. 680i will work for me damnit!! Just waiting for a CPU =\ Yes I bought the heatsink before the CPU.

[cali240sxdrifter]

looks good man! nice beeefy heatsink...

I'm look at the Scythe 1000. Supposed to be the best and for 48 bucks can't complain... what are you specs bro

[S14DB]

Just a copy cat with a gayer heatsink...

[jrmiller84]

Too bad my water cooling kit started leaking (:duh:) or I'd try to one up you guys ;) Do those even fit in your cases? haha. Perhaps you can dry clothes with them as well?

[ManoNegra]

Who'll be the first to drag the box to a D1 event and have autographed...?

lol.. Intel chipsets are still too $$$$$ for me. But at work I'll be rocking a Xeon dual processor systen hopefully soon.

[cali240sxdrifter]

i'll post a pic of my setup later today... got to get to class

[S14DB]

Oh, I can do WC:

From what ive been reading the new zalman, simialr to AJ's but with a 70mm fan, is better than mine, tuniq, and the scythe ninja. I would say get the zalman.

I hope my setup fits. It might be close with the power supply.
