Due to my bad experiences with 680i SLI reference boards.
I rerember you moaning about them
Damm thats unlucky, when i burn up 2 of the same mobo i go crazy
hehe.... Dan must go through mobos like hookers go through horny rich guys.. or something like that.
Dan, do you actaully buy any of your hardware, or is it stuff sent to ya to try out etc etc. lol...
you and me have to be 2 of the people who spend alot on their hobbies
ok, i need to take a trip down to your place an see your armory then... lol
It doesn't actually take as many weapons as you might think in order to equal more money than I spent on computer parts.
I really do. I tend to keep processors closer to a year but motherboards and video cards get replaced all the time if something better comes along.
QFT, a nice rifle or two adds up realll quick...
So Dan, stay away from XFX 780i? what about the Asus P5N-T DELUXE 780i
ah I'm not a rich guy and I have come close to what dan spent this year. It is really just a question of what you enjoy doing most. A lot of people just blow their money on cars or something. I blow mine on computer gear. Now that I am 21 though, I think I am going to get a pistol, either the Glock 19, or a USP (friend of mine can get h&k weapons at cost).

Wait till marriage/kid/house and cars come into play.

I am also waiting for the Striker II.
I've been very happy with my eVGA 680i, it's been running strong for a year, and hasn't eaten any memory... I couldn't be happier with it. That being said, I feel no mobo manufacturer has cleaner, more managable layouts than ASUS... after building a few rigs, it's amazing how much more important board layout becomes after each and every build.
Can't wait for that tri-sli goodness.
I think dan is just a rich guy

Hehe, I do the same thing.
Did anyone try the 780i? Is it the same thing as the 680i other then pcie 2.0?
Dear god i hope not anytime soon.
I hate to take this thread further off topic, but since it's already there...
I've already got two kids that I can't return, but I've been divorced for a few years (although I have custody). I know for a fact that most women don't understand anything about the amount of money guys can spend on computer hardware. I'm getting remarried later this year, and am in a hurry to get my new system done before I have to disclose how much this little hobby costs me...
As it is new girlfriends bitch about how much money my hobbies cost. I tell them that if they have a problem with it they know where the door is. The key to being happy is having enough backbone to live your life the way you want to. If a chick wants to follow a long then they can but they won't tell me what to do. I'll have none of that.

Finally someone shares my philosophy. I can die alone and be happy. Infact most my childhood I've had my parents around and great parenting but I could give 2 fucks about a wife unless she's not a hindrance. Why? because I was raised by a great mom and dad and I think that when I look at society from a 20 year olds eyes (I'm 20) and I see that most females are attention-craving whores I kind of get sick of their get-up. Keep in mind I'm a pretty good looking guy and my parents fund ALL my hobbies so for me it's a matter of picking one I like; I haven't done that though... Why? I simply don't want to be tied down, and as Dan said: IF she follows you, great. Don't follow her. I'm sick and tired of seeing guys that are whipped and give in to every whim because their wife is either: 1. A trophy wife. or 2: The wife controls the household, even if the guy bought it.... I see no sense in it, being a trustfundbaby I am going to get her to sign a prenup if I decide to get married. I think I'll feel bad if I don't because my mom wants grand-kids and I can atleast give her that.... Just not now
Ironically, she thinks it's kinda hot when I talk about stuff she doesn't understand. She knows I'm passionate about stuff like this, and has promised not to interfere. However, I think she's comparing it to buying clothes for herself... She may see value in a few hundred spent shopping for herself, but I doubt she'll see the value in $3000 spent at Newegg. After all, aren't computers just for email and stuff?
