Judge Hades Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hey, could you give me $1200 so that I can get a new system like that. I am a poor gamer that could use an upgrade. I'll give you "Spies Like Us" DVD in trade. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I would have gone 7.1 surround sound but 2.1 is decent enough. Um, a hug? Sorry, I am not a touchy feelie type person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I am not a touchy feelie type person. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> come on visc, i know deep down there is a touchy feely huggy person just dying to bust loose I looked at doing a 7.1 system, but with my gaming style and my apartment setup, i figured that i wouldn't get to really enjoy the positional audio. So i went with loud instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oerwinde Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I still love how my computer is almost 2 years old now, and still a kickass machine. Dual Xeon 2.4 GHz 2 GB Ram 2x 80GB HD GeForce 4 Ti4600 Samsung 19" Magicbright. And my motherboard is something crazy. Needed to be to get the dual Xeons. Has on board 5.1 sound and gigabit lan. Bought it Jan 2003 for 4200 bucks CAD. Probably get the same thing for 2500 now. Bought it to do 3D modeling. Ended up using it for gaming mostly. Once I have money I need to get me some new speakers and upgrade the processors. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

EnderAndrew Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 If you're running dual-Xeons, and you have all that processing power, I hope you're running SATA drives at the very least. It's a shame when the HDD's are slowing down a powerful rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
