What monitor is that? Samsung P2250?

[SocksWthSandals]

Yup. 21.5 inch. Great monitor at a cheap price. Best monitor and price I've seen. No hdmi though. But dvi is the same thing only it dosent carry sound. And my monitor dosent have speakers so I don't need that anyway

[darkstarsinner]

Very very nice. Lol I almost missed this thread, cause I kept checking the original for pics. Thumbs up to a great build.

[SocksWthSandals]

i should probably take some pics of the inside haha, but im a bit lazy to do so.

2 questions:

1. How does the water bottle in pic 2 come into play?
2. Who is the hottie in the top right of pic 5?

lol

well im glad you asked. the water bottle played a very important role in putting all that stuff together. kept me hydrated :) and thats the little lady in the picture :) it was a present she gave me a while ago to put in the office for me and show off haha.

whats the point in having nice things if you cant show them to your friends? haha no offence taken at all buddy :)

[unseenbeing]

we have the same board, processor, and psu

[SocksWthSandals]

they are really nice. really fast!

[unseenbeing]

im excited about the new phenom II x6

[AcIdC0R3]

So far I think only Asus mobos will work with it. I'm waiting for either Gigabyte or MSI to put out a mobo for it and then it's mine. YES, SWEET..........

Cheers...

[unseenbeing]

wont any AM3 socket board work with it

[AcIdC0R3]

No, Most AM3 mobos are designed for quad core. This new one has 6 cores.

Cheers...

[AcIdC0R3]

IMHO Gigabyte, MSI and Asus and the leading manufacturers of mobos right now.

haha those are pretty much all of them! :) what about evga?

[AcIdC0R3]

haha those are pretty much all of them! :) what about evga?

EVGA is okay, but I would not recommend them. Actually there is a lot of brands out there.

[SocksWthSandals]

id rock evga if they had amd compatable boards. but my msi board is pretty tits.

Did you get the MSI Lan Party board?

[SocksWthSandals]

nah, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130223&cm_re=msi_790fx-gd70-_-13-130-223-_-Product this one :)

[AcIdC0R3]

That's a pretty nice board.

[SocksWthSandals]

my board is pretty easy to overclock the processor. the guy at the pc shop said with my setup i could easily run at 3.4-3.6 instead of the standard 3.2 pheonom2 speeds.

hey unseen are you getting the x6?

[AcIdC0R3]

I'd love to see the benchmarks on that x6 core processor. Like a screaming banshee, I bet it's smokin' fast.

Cheers...

[SocksWthSandals]

if only they had put it out when i was building my pc i would have ordered it. oh cruel world

[AcIdC0R3]

The new Intel killer!

my thoughts exactly

[SocksWthSandals]

ooooooooooo crossfire! check it out brahs.... hella tits and hella cable management(which i didnt do, thanks to roger at eastwind computers for doing it for me)

Hey Socks, man that's tiite. I like all that cable management. Looks wicked fast with those crossfires.

[SocksWthSandals]

it is pretty fast. i like it. the cable management has allowed for better airflow. my pc use to idle around 42 degrees now its around 32-35

[AcIdC0R3]

That's what I tell all my friends that I build a box for and their like, naw no way. There wires. The air goes right by them. I'm like not really. This rig I have built for me right now isn't liquid cooled like my last one but I have some serious cable management going on. Awsome air flow too.

[SocksWthSandals]

water cooled is awesome, but with my case it would only keep it cooled like 2 degrees more i have read

[AcIdC0R3]

Hmmm that's strange because all the rigs I made dropped anywhere from 10° to 25°.

[unseenbeing]

even the closed water cooler from corsair dropped my temps 10-15 degrees

maybe i will someday. i like the led fans though :)
