You're a rich man

An X58 and triple channel would've pushed me too far from my target USD.

A Banana Parfait: 2.50.

I mean. It wasn't really that expensive. I knew i wanted a high end machine. So i budgeted between $1500 and $2000. I think i would have preferred to go with the lower end, but when your in the midst of building it, sometimes you gotta change some things. For instance, i changed my raid arrays around a bunch from what i had planned to what i ended up with. It sucked as i kept adding more and more to it. I originally planned to have 4 drives,( 2 raid 1s.) i ended up with 6 drives (one raid 1 and one raid 5), the video card i wanted ending up going out of stock. So i bought the one i have. I don't play games on a PC anymore..this build is more for bragging rights. All games i play are on the PS3.

Heres my specs.

Lian Li PC-B25
Intel Core i7 920
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
OCZ Gold 12GB DDR3
EVGA 9800 GTX+
2 X WD 500 GB Black Cavier (RAID 1)
4 X Seagate Barracuda 1TB (RAID 5)
Seasonic 850 watt SS-850HT
plextor dvd rw
3.5" media card reader thing
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Logitech G5 & Saitek Eclipse RED
Dual Dell 2408 WFP

i already had the keyboard and monitor from my old computer as well as the dual 24 inchers. So those costs aren't part of this build.

Also just cause i decided to list the guns i have too. I pretty much copied and pasted this stuff from my profile on the hardforum.com

Glock 22, .40 s&w

CMMG M4 LEP II .223 with EOTECH 512.A65/1

Mossberg 500 Tactical Mariner, 12 GA

I had 6 drives, the heat/energy is more than I'd like to keep thinking about in the back of my head (technically I still have 6, I just haven't got around taking out the now useless 2 PATA ones).

What do you do on the computer though? 12GB is an overkill for pretty much anything I can think of. Really just bragging rights?

Oh, 5.71c = Tuna sub combo (gotta love Tuna friday specials).

i was worried about the noise and the heat as well. But the case i have is super quiet! Like i literally hear nothing. Its got 3 120mm fans inside. But ugh, yeah no issues whatsoever with heat or noise and its been on pretty much non stop since november is when i built it.

as far as the 12 gigs of ram. my plans initially were for virtual machines and lots of them. So thats pretty much why i got that much ram. the board has a 24 gig ram limit. im really impressed with the i7 920. great processor. and i haven't even touched the over clock stuff yet...

i bought a queen size mattress over the weekend. $1900 divided by 2 because of a half price sale. I was wheeling and dealing and got the bed at around $815 or so

mcsluggo · 03-15-2010, 02:42 PM

SOoooooooooo,

combine the bargain basement queen matress, the rabit and the pisscatcher...
and you have the makings of begining of quite a short story!
(perhaps you better throw in some rubber sheets as well)

GermanDunk · 03-15-2010, 03:14 PM

I just thought about this: Use matress with pee-bottle...

Hah! No joke, outside of daily purchases, that's almost exactly what I got:

The craftsmanship that goes into these things is exquisite.

GermanDunk · 04-01-2010, 11:44 PM

Haha, awesome guys. Do you know this company ?
It´s name is Alpenföhn, which originally is a special wind that blows from the Alps into the Alpine foreland. Therefore the company named the products after mountains like the famous Eiger north wall or kid´s books or glacier mummies. Anyhow - no names, you would connect with PC stuff.
Have fun when browsing.

Ninkobei · 04-02-2010, 07:11 AM

nice Bernie. yours has 2 fans! is it the Dark Knight version?

sorry german I've never heard of that company..but it has some nice looking heatsinks! I wonder how expensive they are.. all HDT tech, thats nice ;D
