alright keep us posted.

 

I'll be PM'ing you Squalls updated address.

It so happens he moved to Canada. It also so happens to be my city and my street.

 

Specs:

NZXT Rouge (Blue Theme)
Asus Rampage II Gene mATX X58 ICH10R
Intel Core i7 920 2.66ghz
Corsair XMS3 12GB DDR3 1600
Corsair HX 620w Modular Power supply
Auzentech Prelude
Zalman 9700 Led
LG 22x DVD Burner
XFX GTX285 Black Edition

Here's the deal.
The sound, video, cpu and ram is in flux. If they prices go down on more powerful parts, then thats what ill get.
The build date is late June or early July.

Wow. That's very close to what I have saved on my newegg.com wishlist. Is this built to your preferences or Squall's?

I chose OCZ Platinum 1600 12GB DDR3, LG 6X BD-R, and a Gigabyte board similar to the Rampage II.(Asus is getting too damn expensive these days >.<) I still haven't decided on a case or CPU cooler yet. BTW, what kind of HDDs are you looking at getting or does Squall plan on using his current ones?

So he really moved to Canada? oO

 

Skore, nice one ;p

updated hdd's info in op

 

Skore, nice one ;p

Oh, I see...

 

But anyway, I might squeeze the Blu Ray in there, but Squall was whining about needing a CD ROM drive....he's a legacy freak

 

$179.99 buys one on newegg right now. I'm only buying it for archiving as Blueray as a video format doesn't interest me. When prices come down, things might change for me.

 

Yeah. i cant wait to see what rap brings to the table

LG H20L + Fan controller bay or gtfo!

 

Ill mod the top to include the controller........meh whatever

 

Beautiful build Phillipo Grande

i still think you should get a surge protector.

 

ooooo, that could work

 

Yes........it could.....but that would take away the risk wouldn't it?

 

i meant the controller in the top?

 

yeah...but it woulg get in the way of airflow

 

so it'd be better to go with the controlle bay then?

...i'll search newegg later for a decent one, watching the escaflowne movie atm

 

So that's what that build was for (you showed me the picture a few weeks back).

Wait, Squall-Leonhart can't build his own? Is this being done due to cheaper cost or something?

The build looks good, but the CPU cooler sticks out as a little weak amongst those parts. If you're getting 12GB of RAM and that kind of motherboard, surely you can do better than that on the cooler. Also, wasn't the GTX285 replaced by the GTX295? I haven't kept up with nVidia's lineup, but I thought that's how things went.

 

Can't say I would have done the same case. NZXT's are chinsey. The rest is nice, though. WTF are you going to do with 12gb of ram?

The cooler is more then capable. I've checked it out thoroughly (Besides, HT is going off right away, so there goes most of the heat)
The 295 is 2x GTX 260, its longer then the 285, and won't fit in the case. the 285 is the current single core king.

Virtualization projects which require alot of ram.

Video games are only set to use more and more ram, consider 12GB's well and truly future proof for a good while.

 

Whoah!
So when this is done, can I go to your house and check my email .
I'll bring beer.

 

>.< how many times do i have to say i don't drink beer.

By the time video games require close to that much you'll be on your 3rd or 4th computer since this build.

 

IIRC this will allow squall to increase his browser tab count from ~50 to ~200 while playing a game of Half Life 2 Cinematic Mods which atm require ~3.5gb ram

Don't worry, more for me.
