Ok, I finally decided to replace my old beast. Thing was about 4 years old. New PC will include the following:
Case: Antec Nine Hundred
Power Supply: Thermaltake W0131RU ATX12V / EPS12V 850W Power Supply
Motherboard: ASUS Striker II Formula LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz
CPU Fan: Thermaltake CL-P0114 120mm CPU Cooler
Memory: CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB(2 x 2GB) SDRAM DDR2 1066
Video Cards: (2) EVGA 512-P3-N802-AR GeForce 8800GT Superclocked 512MB
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
CD/DVD: LITE-ON Black 20X SATA DVD Burner with LightScribe
OS: Microsoft Windows Vista 64-Bit Ultimate
Right now I only have a 19" monitor but will be upgrading to two widescreen monitors down the road. I also have a RAZER Copperhead mouse. The only other thing I will have to upgrade will be the keyboard. For that I am looking at the Logitech G15.
I should have all the parts by the end of the week.

Sounds like a kick ass rig! post some pics when your done! (Does everyone have a 900? LOL)
-
holy shit man thats a fuckin sick computer :blob: im jealous :crybaby: seriously i wish i had that much money to spend on a computer :thebirdman: how much you spend on the MONSTER? LOL
-
Lol, the nine hundred looks like a solid case. I was thinking about getting this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119122 but I couldn't see spending the extra $130+ for it.
-
wow, sounds like you have a kick ass system... let me know how the new keyboard works out because i am looking to get a new keyboard myself.... :-D
-
I just got the G15 keyboard and I love it. Backlight on the keys and everything. It even looks up my e-mails and i can read them while in game. It also has a nice soft feel to it, no clicking of the keys.

Nice comp hong. Now you can come play COD4 with us.

Thats what I'm doing with my new rig :-D

Do not get the DDR2-1066 memory. It is a waste of money. Get DDR2-800 and you will get faster CAS and spend less money. Wish I would have done that back in Sept. when I built my system. I am looking at getting rid of my 4 1GB sticks of DDR2-1066 OCZ Reaper memory and getting 4 2GB DDR2-800 OCZ Reaper memory sticks
-
4 2GB DDR2-800 OCZ Reaper memory sticks
Kick ass memory...highly recommended.
-
Oops too late. The parts were already ordered yesterday. The (2) 2GB DDR2-1066 sticks were $159.99 at zipzoomfly (they were $189.99 at newegg) and there is a $40 mail in rebate on top of that.
-
Here's some pics of the comp going through the process. http://theelders.net/Rich/NewPC/

I went with two 2 gig sticks of the OCZ nvidia sli memory 800mhz. Nice stuff so far.
I see that mobo came with COH game? Some of us have been playing that a good bit. Go out and get the expansion too, it's a blast. The single player is just as good as online.
-
Yes it did come with the COH game. I haven't installed it yet but will be installing it soon.
