Another "Rate my Rig..."

Another "Rate my Rig..."

from WinCustomize Forums

As everyone seems to be flexing their 3p33n, I thought I'd give you a sneak preview of a build which will start next week sometime.

 

Case: Antec 900 with all the fans

PSU: Coolermaster 1000W (modular)

Mobo: Asus P6T Deluxe X58

CPU: i7 920 @ 2.66, but eventually getting OC'd to 3.4

Fan: Coolermaster V8

Memory: 6Gb DDR3 1333

HD (System + games): Crucial 128Gb SSD

HD (Data): 500Gb

HD (Backups): 2 x 1.5Tb

Video: 2 x ATI Radeon 1Gb DDR5 in Crossfire

OS: Vista Ultimate, but will be upgrading to W7 (when I feel like it)

+ other usual bits

 

Of course it's OTT, it's designed to last many years with only basic upgrades.

Basic design concepts:

The i7 920 OC'd is as quick as a i975 at a saving of £480. Though it will run a little hot.

The two 4890s on test smoke a GTX295 at a saving of £70 (the 295 is just 2x 275s anyway).

The SSD is only 128Gb, so my older games will go on the data disk E.G. UT2004 will see no benefit from the SSD, but has 10Gb of maps to eat up valuable space.

The Antec 900 is just big enough to fit everything in, but small enough to fit under the desk (my PC is in a cupboard). It has 5 120mm fans and one 200mm fan on top to keep everything cool. My current Coolermaster case is on a shelf right in front of me - a bit too noisy for my liking... Under the desk is much quieter, but limited in depth (22") - the 900 will have to go in at an angle to avoid squashing the cables. Plus the case is wide enough for the V8 (check this if you are buying a V8!)

For those who like to specify underpowered PSUs, the 1000W is barely adequate for the two 4890s and the OC...

I'l let you know what it feels like when it's done ;)

And you don't need to my preshus... you're obvious talents (art/skinning) are more than enough. 

So if you get any ideas of messing with hardware, please do it in the form of graphics for a new, you-beaut WB, IP, etc.

Question asked (why?...I have no idea) and answered

If you say so. Let me know when you get sick of uninstalling trial programs.

It's her dream machine and as the norm for you and anyone's dream, you shit on her parade for no other reason than you have a keyboard and can.

If you were a diehard believer in the nonsense you espouse, that would be one thing, but you're so contrary in your thinking it makes me dizzy.

How about you give my head a break and STFU....

You're more than welcome, Kitty, for all the joy I've derived from all your skins. |-)

Whatever Yrag. That comment was deleted. I have no idea how it got posted as I edited it out then the forums went haywire.

And NO I don't go around crapping on people's dreams. Maybe you didn't read the thread of Fuzzy's were I said I would quit? I hardly visit anymore and do my best to keep my mouth shut if I don't have anything good to say..

I'm sorry OK?

Please leave me alone.

I edited the other comment and deleted it.

And yes there are some things I DO believe in. Thanks.

@ Fuzzy Logic>

Sorry if this was already suggested, i did not read whole thread, but if i were on your place, i would dump those 2 4890s and go with one 5870. It might be not faster than two cards in crossfire, but the difference is surely not big enough and i believe one 5870 is lot cheaper, not to mention far better power consumption.

EDIT> Just looking at the original post´s date, my advice is probably pointless now :) .  Nevermind.

Nice system Kitty...it should cut your render times down a great amount. When I moved up to a quad core it cut my times in half...since the i7 has even greater processing power you should be extremly happy. :thumbsup:

Never mind, Kitty, it's nothing a bit of makeup can't fix. 

With the right eyelash enhancer, lipstick and eyeshadow you could easily achieve that effect. 

Add a pussycat soundpackage and you're almost there...

...then all you need is a mouse hanging out its mouth (DVD ROM drawer) to give it some authenticity.
