I just put together this system, some parts I have had since 2004 the case, matrix orbital along with the water cooling component's and also the DVD recorder a plextor 716.
I just added the M/B, the Raptors, Video card, sound card, a new water pump ( which is a world of difference in how quiet it is) the additional 2 G of ram and the monitor. I also just upgraded the OS to Vista Ultimate trying to 64 version up until yesterday afternoon I was ready to through Vista out the window. but once I got all the drivers loaded runs like a champ. Gamed last night for 5 hours in BF 2142. My god I am able to see detail like never before. between the monitor and the video cards what a difference.
I did try the Dell 3007 but the 2707 is just right up my ally. I love the monitor I had a 2407 and the 2707 just blows it away. along with the connections it has, all I can say is WOW.
I know some will say the pixels are too big. believe me the two side by side this 2707 is it.
Vista 64 what can I say. I like it can't really say its ready for prime time but it is the future I believe. I have gotten it to work and as long as I can game on it I'm happy. We will see what the up coming weeks brings as to whether I keep Vista on or not. but for now I enjoy the wow factor and it being new.
I had just typed a long post a bout my new build but after reading it it sounded like I was bragging so I deleted.
I know that there are alto of people who like me have been trolling this forum for a long time and I have been debating should I get the 2707 or 3007 , should I use Vista 64?? can I game on it? should I get dual 8800GTX ?? will a 750 quad power supply be enough? I had so many questions no I'm in a position to know 1st hand. so I hope that I can help some of you to make a decision by telling you my experience. You all have been a big help over the years I have been trolling this forum. now I will try to help.
alot of it is personal opinion and just how much you want to spend. my belief is by spend money where you don't have to. Yet buy quality component's where it is needed like the items you would hardly need to upgrade ( IE the case, power supply, water cooling component's) most of these can be used for several upgrades. I know because I have been spending money on them since 1987 and building my own since 1991.
