Where did you get the deal on the Raptor 150? I've been looking around recently. I think the maintenance guy in my apartment stole my previous one. :confused:

Thanks a lot for the comments guys, I'll have to take a look into the P180 and other thermaltake cases. I've actually been checking out reviews of cases on google.com/video. This one guy posts a review of about every major case out there, it helps for actually getting a feel for the design...

Yeah my basic constaints are that: it needs to be huge (I want a full tower because of cooling & space), not over 200 bones, needs to fit the tuniq tower or similar massive cpu cooler, and should be relatively easy to work with. So given that scenario I think the field is narrowed...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for the best case within a reasonable price range for the following gear. Here are the constrains: The case needs to be sub $200, needs to be a full tower with plenty of room for expansion. Originally, I selected the Stacker 810, but then I've recently thought about...

Here's my near future rig, comes in at around the same price, lots of research on this. Tuniq Tower 120 P4 & K8 CPU Cooler - Retail Thermaltake Armor Series VA8000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 (rev. 3.3) LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel...

Memory: Consider getting the G. Skill I mentioned earlier or equiv. With the e6600 you won't need extremely powerful ram to reach the highest OC possible on air. Case: I'm also going with the Thermaltake Armor so I'd recommend it as well, however, the Stacker 830, if you can afford it, is...

Here's a decent little article on what you could expect from a GTS OC vs. a GTX, in general. Although for a 24" monitor you'll have to roughly average between two bench marks done by THG, but it's pretty easy to get a good estimate...

A feq questions... What made you decide to go with the 650i rather than the 680i, I see that you're not running SLI, so why not a 965P series chipset? I'm assuming you're going to overclock with the parts that you've listed, so my next comment is on the memory. Any reason for buying such a...

You have literally almost the exact same set up as I've got with my newest edits, spent a few days researching already. Take a look here: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1181536

So here are the edits I've come up with so far Thermaltake Armor Series VA8000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case (stacker is OOS & this has really great reviews. EVGA 640-P2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail (i'll just OC the...

I've heard that the DS3 from newegg is a hit or miss because it's not known what revision you'll get. I also hear that ClubIT has a gauruntee'd rev 3.3, which is what you'd want.

How about suggestions for other motherboards? Benefits of 680i vs. the chipset on the DS3? How about CPU? Overclockability of the 6700 vs. 6600 after the price drop, compared to 6420, etc.? Any particular steppings i should be looking out for?

This is all mac gear unfortunately, but it's a good start for ideas: http://www.flickr.com/photos/washington_dc_photographer/329177120/ 3 x 30" apple cinema displays Quad G5/4GB/750GBx2/2x30" Dual G5/3GB/750GBx2/1x30" G4-1.33/120GB/2GB/17" Sony wireless 15" tv Sonos wireless remote...

A recent thread sparked my interest on this subject, so my question to all enthusiasts out there is, what would you build given an essentially unlimited budget, imagine you're the CEO of a major corporation and bring in 5-10 million a year. What would you do with all that money, buy more...

Awesome, thanks for the input, are there any other boards that are suggested over the DS3? I typically build my list on newegg then look out for huge savings at the typical places I.E. ZZF, but thanks for pointing out some great savings.

agreed on the 2007, also those monitor prices were from the outlet store, which may or may not be the way to go for you but will certainly save you money unless you hunt around deals sites or the deal section here for some good coupons.

Hey just a point of clarification, I believe the 20.1" Dell's are the ones that turn vertically to fit nicely alongside the 30". My friend has a 30" and two 20.1"'s on each side turned vertically and it's one of the best set ups i've ever seen, I'll try to get some pictures later. If you...

I worked directly with the editor & chief of PC magazine and the editor & chief or pcmag.com and the both had moderately high end home built rigs, but nothing extreme. Granted, these guys aren't billionaires but they're certainly very well off. Most of them spent a ton of time on laptops and...

Hey everyone, I'm building a new rig and would love to hear some input on the initial build choices I've made. I'm pretty much open to suggestion for cost improvement on everything, as well as performance improvement within a reasonable cost limit of the current item. My plan is to do a moderate...
