Cant wait to get home (upgrade)

[Altrezia]

Sorry, useless post, but I'm pretty excited.

Sitting at home is a Core2Duo 6800 Extreme Edition, 2gb of corsair XMS DDR2, a new asus mobo, and I'll be fitting my 7950 GX2 and tagan 1100watt PSU in with the mix..

I cant wait to fire up some oblivion or supreme commander!

Nice.

What screen are you using - it will be the main interface between you and your computer so it's vital. The Dell 30" widescreen monitors are nice...

Oh yeah, those are beautiful monitors...
We have them at work for radar, they are MASSIVE!

I've got a 20.1 inch widescreen viewsonic. just the job for me.

[LukeBird]

Very nice... I've got a 17" tiddler....
Those 30"'s are a thing to behold though, very nice!

1100W PSU!?!

You power-hungry beasty you. That does sound like it will be fine for surfing porn and typing the odd letter

Yeah, I had a 480w tagan, but when I got the graphics card it just couldnt handle it, so I had to upgrade.. I thought it was better going for current top spec and not have to upgrade every six months

suprised at that TBH. i have a 580 Tagan which ran dual 7900gtx cards OC'd. Suppose it may have been low amps rather than low power?
very nive processor, sure you must be tempted by a shiney 8800gtx now I love mine

Could well be ampage, the GX2 wants 28amps on the 12v rail - madness!

I might well get a 8800, got a mate that works at nVidia, so might get one for a bit less than street price.
