Moving to Jamaica prompted me to update my 4 yr old hardware to something more state-of-the-art. I built meself the following baby... inserting the last screw on a gloomy, stormy night, a lightning bolt hit the tower case. I was then seen jumping around while cackling madly: "It's alive! It's alive!"
Here it is:
AMD 64 FX2 Opteron 2,4 Ghz
4 Gb Corsair Platinum Ram
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe board
2 (two!... YES... TWO!!) Geforce 7900 GTX 512 mb @ 630 Mhz
Gigabyte full tower case
3 x 200 Mb WD Sata Raid 0 array
Zalman full copper cooler
6 fans
and the usual paraphernalia
21" flat screen
7:1 Dolby Sourround Stereo
Everything... I mean everything runs at 1600x1200 at the highest settings without the processors even getting warm...
I am in heaven!
