The New Behemoth

[Raz]

Sue. Do Not Look at This Next Sentence.
Suck it Alienware.




This is my new computer, bought and built it myself, and is my pride and joy.

Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.6GHz
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Hard Drive: 500 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT
Monitor: Acer 19' LCD Wide

Its' name: The Behemoth.

really, it's my first computer and couldn't be happier. Oh and the price tag (for everything) was around $1,000. Not too bad if you ask me. Now working off the money I spent is another story. Runs Hellgate wonderfully, FEAR flawlessly, and Half-Life 2 excellently.

*over exagurated monocal laugh* hohoho.

8800GTX MSI Ultra

2GB of C4 Corsair ram (just to get the system started off)

2x 250gb Sata drives

1x Sata DVDRW drive

Nvidia BFG 680i / Asus motherboard

Antect 900 air conditioning unit of a case.


Will be going up to 4gb of ram as i'm on 32bit os and getting a 2nd 8800GTX in Dec when the prices drop.

Wont expect my Cpu to stay at 3ghz either ;O)

Also a new 22" Samsung sycmaster 2ms came today also )

Thats about it for a couple of months

Rigs excellent and has loadsa OC options for me to fiddle.

Also ...Alienware Pc's = yes dont buy...

But I did buy one of their laptops as they are very good even though higher priced I think it was worth it for upgradeability and how well it works

I have the M9750 top of the range one.

[asmodeusandromali]

Ooer i spend too much money - ... which was originally just a water upgrade to my previous pc... kinda over did it and built a whole new pc ....meh its pretty and works good ;D

[asmodeusandromali]

now with 2 radiators ) - everyone should have a go at watercooling - its fuhn

That thing has just got to be a bitch to clean;
is it not?

[asmodeusandromali]

Not really a problem,

Cos nothing needs a fan inside anymore I can use all the case fans to make the case negative pressure so dust doesnt get sucked in because all the fans blow outwards )

I got my new cpu up to 4.5ghz too but backed off to 4 until i've got an upgrade on the horizon :OP

[enigma]

wow only 1 thousand? damn nice comp. Where did you get the parts and shit, cus im gonna have to upgrade soon,

[Raz]

Pretty much everything from www.frys.com/ I went out to the one by me & spent around 800. The hard drive was on sale so it saved a little bit. I use a cheapy Logitech mouse and a cheapy Emprex keyboard. They work perfectly fine.

The monitor, I got from Circuit City for around 200.

My budget was $800 (not including monitor price), so I hit perfectly for what I wanted to spend. If your cash limit is higher, then you can get a better mobo or graphics card.
