hory mory...

you are having me drooling all over...

I love seagate drives...IMHO, they make the best drives, internal or external. That's why I own some of their stocks. LOL

and that tower, what a beauty!~~

I am excited for you as if that IS going to be my puter. LOL

Hey, can you post the whole package once you get it all assembled for yer fellow technophiles???

Sure!! Would be glad to.

It took me 8 months of research to make sure all the components would work together properly. The only one that I have a little trepidation about is the memory. Not too sure if it will be compatable, but most times memory is the least of the troubles LOL.

I am gonna buy one more video card because you just cant build an SLI capable puter with only one card LOL. The mobo has the ability to have 3 cards in the SLI configuration, but 3 is a tad more than I need....well 2 is even pushin it for me....like im gonna run 10 monitors, or some super intensive video stuff..... Not!!! hahahahaha!

My intentions are to build something that will be ahead of the tech curve for awhile, kinda like the one im using right now. Built this about 6 years ago, and it is only behind by not having a duo core processor. Everything else is still up to snuff with 2 gigs of ram, and a 8800 video card.

I am an AMD man because the AMD's were the fastest in graphic processing, but the quad core has won my heart. I sure hope the intel quad core doesnt let me down Lol. From the reviews I read I guess I will be very happy....I sure hope so.

heck yeah!

I take it you are a gamer...so, go for it...graphics and games go hand in hand (but heckit, you know that...what am I saying...LOL)

I didn't like AMD then I liked AMD, I liked Intel then I didn't like intel. LOL

I became Motorola freak when they were supporting apple and I had a mac.

When intel was fused to Mac I quit Mac and learned all I could about PC's (cause of the AMD). LOLOLOL

you'll be ahead of the curve, but not for long...intel already has some secret weapon they came out with last year that soared their stock for awhile. It is only available to gov't right now...talk about multi-tasking to the 100...

I think you'll be happy with the quad core, it might actually be too fast for your gadgets. But there's always the upgrade. But what do I know...LMAO...

I am not that great with hardwares. If you don't mind, May I ask you in the future about building my own. that is if we don't go back to the MACs. LOL

it's going to be a beaut...break out that cigar when it arrives and I'll be here for the shower...LOLOLOL

OOOOOO I heard about the secret weapon! It seems they have the tech and the nology to have the L1 and L2 cache the same size for each of the cores, or sumthin like that. Plus the pc will be able to see each core as a seperate cpu making it possible to divide the work how you would like it to be processed. This opens endless application possiblities to say the least.

Now remember this is stuff I have heard from a friend that heard it from a friend LOL.

Fire away with the questions, I love to put together systems, and have created about 50 so far for friends and family. Mostly they were created for lots of storage for pictures, and alot of web surfing so they werent monster rigs in any stretch of the imagination. Even though for some reason they think they need all the super expensive stuff to make their experience the total package. I think they just want bragging rights LOL.

I didnt go with the real expensive stuff as it really isnt that much of a perceived difference when your computing unless your doing some serious stuff. It is a gaming rig though....wonder how ya figured im a gamer....LOL

LMAO...I like your tech and nology **** ology...LOLOL

yeah, the duo core was a pretty good concept. Except that they used tri-core for X-box 360 which made no sense...well, actually, it made more sense cause of the gaming/streaming capabilities.

The the quad core is going to be pretty awesome. I just upgraded to duo core recently right before the quad core and I could really kick myself cause I paid good price for those duo cores that dropped over night...but that's tech for ya...

that secret weapon I heard will be avilabe to us by 2010. But I think it'll be sooner than that...with the new wave of True HD going on internet and they are trying to get appliances networked. I think we'll become the jetsons sooner than later...

ummmm...I think your name gave away that you are a gamer...but I could be wrong...LOL

cool beans, I'll look you up whenever I have some hardware questions...now I know who to come ask...I'll pay in virtual dolla, how's that? LOLOLOL

stay cool...keep me updated. I am sure we've lost a few people already...LOLOL

Man that is a cool shirt! That sounds like it was a grrrreat job too!!!

I got almost all the parts, and put what I have together yesterday.The windows vista ultimate rocks! I decided I wanted a SATA dvd and a card reader so ordered those yesterday. One of the video cards came a day later so it isnt the pictures yet, but I will get one in here sometime later today,



Open heart surgery LOL



8 gigs of ram



9600 with 1 gig of ram on the card




Size comparison







Ready to button up




Will sanp a picture with the SLI video cards in just a bit

WOW that is a snazzy machine!!!

that thing is boooootiful...*sniff*sniff......

boy, I can't wait til you put that girl together...

hey steve, that sounded like a cool shirt!

your talk of semi-conductor just reminded me of a couple of articles. Although not related, but kinda...

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0530174750.htm

and this one that has really intrigued me...for some has said it will be doomsday...It got me started looking up Prof. Stephen Hawkins again...LOL

dark matter/10th dimension research (possible doomsday? LOL)

Hey Moi, fascinating articles. Thanks.

I didn't mention that before semiconductor work, I worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Can't tell you what I did or I'd have to kill you! LOL! Seriously though, working at LANL was very enjoyable. Like working at a university campus every day. I was encouraged and allowed to attend any seminar that piqued my interest.
