Excuse me, but after a damn week of no journal posts, do somebody really have to post right after me?
Man I am so pissed off.

Nice PC. Although fractals have nothing to do with a brick.

HAHA he got you Striker! GOT 'EM.

Very beast machine PB.. so jealous that your fps is undoubtedly epic... Tested any games on here yet?

Not yet, copying over my 400+GB Steam install right now, will let you know once I get the chance to boot up Crysis 2 or something

At what speed you're copying? Let's say you're copying at a reasonable 40-50 mbs. That means that in about 2 and a half hours you'll be finished.

Cstriker is jelly :3

Really like the case, pengy. Glad to see another person who favours design and purpose over flamboyancy. Full towers are awesome - so much room, so many cooling options.

Grats

I am not envious, my pc serves my purposes well enough. I'm no hard-core gamer. I am complaining about processing power when it comes to renderingcompiling sometimes though...

My roommate has that exact tower.

Holy shit thats a beast O_O

Awesome!

That's a beast of a processor. ;o
Nice rig, grats.

It runs rather nice, too

Crysis 2 runs on "Extreme" graphics at a very nice framerate. Hard to tell from a screenshot but here's one anyway!

jeez, really interested to know how this thing will do compiling big maps... (i volunteer my nuketown map for testing purposes!)

)

Ho ho ho. I will be possibly getting an Alienware soon. I can already feel the envy.

Damn you!

I can already feel you will be wasting your life.

you shut your whore mouth striker!

P

Not enough RAM. I'd get 16 or 24 gigs.

I'm gonna need about 3-fitty.

giggity gigigity giggity giggity

Pfft. Glorified Dell system. Nice enough if you like that kinda thing I suppose.

Anyways, nice rig Pb. Enjoy kicking the shit out of every game ever for the next few years.

It seems only yesterday I was helping you pick out parts for your first machine on IRC. :') Interestingly I'm still using the exact same outdated system I was back then (sometime in '08 I believe?)

However, I think I would have gone for an Intel i5 2500K at that price range, at least for a gaming machine, although they both have their strengths. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/288?vs=203 Of course, you Aussies have ridiculous price discrepancies compared to us, so the mere $25 price hike over here for an i5 could be greater for you I suppose.

I prefer AMD's because they change their sockets far less often. I like to reuse my parts in other computers after an upgrade, Intel makes that almost impossible because compatible motherboards are super difficult to find. All my other computers are AMD as well, so if (or when) one of the machines die, I have spare parts I can use to salvage it.
