Re: my new computer > all of yours
because i'm sick and tired of having a "mediocre" computer.  i built this one to be top of the line, and so far it really is.  only thing i'm kind of regretting is not getting dual 7800 gtxs up front.  that and not saving for a FX-57 in the first place

Wow, you should see the framerate I get on my 80 inch monitor.  It's totally flat, with perfect resolution and vibrant colour.  New technology.













Apparently, they call it a window.

Nice computer.

However, does it let you play donkey?

I didn't think so.

I'm definitely pullin 2 frames a second here.  :p

Cheers!

I'm just jealous because my mobo in my destop and my ATI card currently don't function because of ATI's linux drivers magical ability to open quantum flux vortices when X loads up, so it's back to my old videocard.

I've actually been thinking of selling it, and it look slike I could still get almost 200$CAD for my 9800 Pro 256 if I get a someone on ebay to buy it, since I've still got the retail box and all the rest.

Looks great. Take a few night shots to capture the LED fans.

My cards came in today. The shipping box says "Mitsumi Floppy Disk Drive" all over it for some reason (:wtf:), but whatever, the cards look great. Now I just need to wait for my motherboard to arrive. Can't wait for my final exams to end on Friday. It's going to be a good winter break. :)

Most of my windows are covered by screens on the outside. Major LCD screen door effect. :( :no:

Re: my new computer > all of yours
Where do you guys usually buy your parts?

Come the new year (and my hopefully decent sized tax return), i will be looking to build or buy me a nice gaming machine.  I figure if i can build one decently (no overclocking, i will not do that when i have little or no knowledge of it) and maybe save a few bucks...

No kidding. If you have any extra money you are itching to spend, you can always give it to me.

Ah yes, the same mouse I have. It's quite awesome, very precise, and because it's infrared it leaves a little warm spot on the mousepad under it. :D

is that a Razer Diamondback? Nice mouse, but I prefer the shape/ergonomics of the Logitech ones.

i prefer the extreme precision of the diamondback ;)

 
Re: my new computer > all of yours
Myself, I'm a fan of the Logitech MX1000. I don't think it scores well for precision (at "only" 800dpi) but above 600 I really can't tell the difference. It's not like I can pull off accurate snap shots anyway.

Re: my new computer > all of yours
I have an MX510, which is very good for the $30 I paid a year ago. The newer G5/G7 and Copperhead can do 2000dpi and the on-the-fly dpi adjustment idea sounds interesting, but they all have fewer buttons and are fairly expensive.

Do any of you have that G15 keyboard? I picked up one on sale at a CUSA two days ago and generally like it a lot. The much hyped LCD still needs some work on the software/driver side, but I mainly got it for the other features anyway, which all work very well.
