Well seeing how I can't buy another 968 for a good while I decided to buy a new super computer. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



I built it myself and it is freaking awsome!



22" LG flat screen

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 (which is the best out there)

XFX 790i Motherboard

2x Nvidia 280GTX video cards

2x Corsair 1GB DDR3 ram

Sound Blaster XFi 7.1 card

5.1 speakers from Creative Labs

750GB HD



Plus the case + keyboard which glow blue! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Ohhh it is sooo cool!



Unfortunatly it pumps out so much heat I need a fan running in my room when ever its on and the window open just to keep the temp comfortable in my room.

Ah, well I initally purchased 4 gigs of DDR3 1333 however the ram wasn't fast enought to run with the motherboard.



So I tried the recommended DDR3 1600 by the motherboards manufacturer and all my problems were solved.



I was however shocked to hear I would only get one rebate per purchase. So I'm waiting until next paycheck to give the money to a friend to have them purchase the ram so I can get both rebates. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />





Currently the only two devices holding the computer back are the ram (soon to be fixed) and the HD because it only runs at 7200rpm instead of the current maximum of 15000rpm.



I really don't like the low capacity high spinning HD. They cost way to much to gain such little performance.



Althought I would really like to purchase another monitor so I can play a computer game while attending my online classes. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
