As the titles says...yes, this will be a very expensive setup...if you have one please post the specs here as well! I just finished building my system and the specs are: Thermaltake Armor Extreme Edition ATX Full-Tower Case AMD Quad FX Ready (1) Thermaltake Toughpower 700W CROSSFIRE Ready ATX 140MM Fan Active PFC PSU (1) Intel D975XBX2 DDR2 PCI-E16 SATA RAID Sound GBLAN 1394 Motherboard (1) Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHZ 1066FSB 8MB Processor (1) Thermaltake iCage 5.25IN To 3.5IN Aluminum Drive Bay W/ 120MM Blue LED Fan (1) Corsair XMS2 2X1GB PC2-5400 DDR2-667 CL 4-4-4-12 Dual Channel (2) Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB SATA2 16MB Hard Drive (2) Western Digital SE16 500GB SATA2 16MB NCQ Hard Drive (2) Seagate 200 GB SATA Hard Drive (1) - external Seagate 200 GB ATA Hard Drive (1) - external Seagate NL35 400GB SATA2 8MB Server Hard Drive (2) Samsung SH-S182F 18X8X18 DVD Writer (2) ATI Radeon X1650 PRO 512MB PCI-E Video Card (1) Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic Sound Card (1) of course some of the above items were from my current system...my price for it is roughly $1644.50 taxes included...that is only an Intel Authorized Reseller price...
nope not until my core 2 laptop dies out or something shit man its like core 2 just came out and all of a sudden, wait there's something better, later they'll be able to overclock all the quad core processors to 5.0ghz or something or be like quad 2 core or something like that
first computer with that's gonna overheat or something and burn up, how many fans or how advance does the liquid cooling technology have to be lol
theres no need for quad cores right now, unless your into some serious multi tasking most programs wont even know what to do with quad cores atm and i cant see any benefits if i were to get one right now
Still trying to understand why I need a quad or even a dual quad computer. Games don't support multi-threading. Unless you use special apps like Photoshop, etc
I can hardly even fully utilize by dual core, so why both with quad core? And like everyone (almost), its not really necessary yet.
Excellent choice in a case. I currently own the original Thermaltake Armor in black. The case is massive. Get ready to pay a ton for shipping. I have some pictures of my setup at home, I'll post it later. One more thing, if you're really going to get that system, please do me a favor and not buy the Thermaltake power supply. Go with either FSP, PCP&C or Antec.
^yeh supreme commander should benefit a lot, but the game is poorly coded and has so many performance issues :(
Yep, a QX6700 stock clock. Heads up, if anyone is thinking about getting a quad-core cpu get it next month because prices are dropping to about half the price! The QX6700 I bought for a little over a grand will only cost about 550-600USD and a QX6600 will only cost about 350-375USD. I suggest the QX6600 because the benchmarks and comparisons on both cpu's are very similar and isn't reason enough to spend the extra 300 or so dollars. My specs: QX6700 cpu - Stock One 8800gtx gpu - Stock evga 680i mobo 2 gigs of ddr2 corsair ram - stock Enermax Galaxy 850 watt psu Sound Blaster x-fi extreme gamer edition 1 Maxtor Atlas hd Logitech z-5500 speakers Logitech MX-Revolution mouse Logitech Dinovo Edge keyboard Samsung Syncmaster 226bw 22" monitor Some random mouse pad cause my desk has a meshed pattern on it that doesn't get along with the mouse too well. Stock cooling And the CD and DVD drives are the ones that came with my VAIO. I don't use a case anymore and just have everything laid out on the desk.
