Re: What do yall think of my new rig i just ordered?
A 19" monitor with a 8800GTX? Ouch, what a waste. Also 1000W is a bit of an overkill (depending on how many hard drives you plan to get and if you get another 8800GTX).
Also, I'd get a 680i motherboard, but that's just me. Nothing wrong with the P5W DH DELUXE though. |

Ultra has announced their 2000W power supply. Geez.
Razer's 'Death Adder' mouse has started shipping and according to the first reviews rates higher then the Copperhead so you might consider it.

I pray to the gaming gods that this is a "custom" built by YOU and not some alienware crap machine

Two 8800GTXs on a 19" monitor? Anything less then 1600X1200 with one, let alone two 8800GTXs is a shame. A SHAME!
Get an Apple 30" cinema HD monitor (2560X1600). Then everone will truley have e-penis envy. |

Re: What do yall think of my new rig i just ordered?
Well good luck with your build, the high price you pay, and the electrical bill that follows in its wake.
The OC'ing, hard drive configuration, and the PSU is overkill just for gaming. Otherwise, it would make a very nice poweruse machine (CS2, multitabbed browser, music encoding, graphics rendering, etc.) What case are you getting? Hope it's made of steel not some lightweight SECC rated alloy. Are you planning on putting in some 120mms along with a sound ampliflier so when you power on your system it would sound like a Concorde just flew past you? Oh yes that would be cool...all the gamers in your neighborhood would be on their knees begging for your mercy as you beat them at EVERY multiplayer game out there (not to mention wow them with your infinitely powerful rig). *super sarcasm* I envy you...hmm...could I buy that system off of you when you done building it? ![]()

You're been building extreme PC's since you were 6 years old?

Re: What do yall think of my new rig i just ordered?
Considering the nature of what you put on your hard drives, I prefer going with manufacturers with a much higher MTBF than Western Digital. The drives might have great specs, but no other piece of hardware in your PC will cause you more grief than a poor quality drive.
