How much is that gonna cost?

looks great.. I still gotta update my machine... well just the vid card. Knowing my luck, i\'ll get a new one when they\'re just about outdated.

90 bucks. Suppose can\'t eat out for a few days.

part of the reason for that case is because it comes with a 500 watt power supply. Did not care to buy case and power supply sep right now.

Not sure on price tag. Did not bother to count it up.

It will be a great build. Let me know when it is finished, so I can stop by and we can run some benchmarks.

Oh and MM - the case isn\'t that ugly, I mean it could be uglier, it could be the face of your girlfriend.

j/k

Very nice.

Make sure to download the nVidia 6800 tech demos here: http://www.nvidia.com/page/6800_demos.html

Nalu and the Timbury demos are like watching Toy Story being rendered on your PC.

just make sure that 500W psu isn\'t some generic crap that doesn\'t have the AMPS to run your 6800GT.

Noice! Overclock some so you can beat out Jbean & me. ;]

« **Reply #23 on:** December 19, 2004, 04:51:36 AM »

So how much did all of this cost?

« **Reply #24 on:** December 19, 2004, 02:56:54 PM »

total cost around 1700 U.S.

Built the system with the intentions of overclocking down to the ram. Now that it is together see no real use to it. Doom 3 even runs at 70 fps.

When you\'re running games at 60+ fps. Overclocking becomes a point of "mine is bigger then yours" bullshit.

« **Reply #26 on:** December 20, 2004, 07:12:31 AM »

yeah it\'s all bragging rights when you overclock a top of the line rig. I\'m running mine stock at the moment as i\'m running every game I have @ 1600 x 1200 over 60 fps (except for far cry). So at this point, the added FPS aren\'t needed.

« **Reply #27 on:** December 20, 2004, 02:31:29 PM »

Its just nice to get over 60 because then you know when your computer starts getting old that it will still be stable in the future.

Not that i would know

well, our human eyes can see up to 72 frames per second, so 60 fps is sexy smooth, but a little higher won\'t bite, just sexier.

To me, beyond 75 fps isn\'t necessary, but between 60fps - 75 fps is more prefereed.

again, just my opinion. So don\'t flame. (me runs and hides)

« **Reply #29 on:** December 21, 2004, 04:05:39 PM »

human eyes DO NOT see in frames per second

anything less than 100mhz gives me a headache after a few minutes
