Thank you Norton!

Wow, this entire forum is amazing. It is just crazy how alot of people can come together and do something like this.

Kreij must have been a very special person!

He was. I knew him online for years, chatted with him a lot. That man went through a lot in his life and he never failed to brighten someone elses day when he had the chance. I really wished that I could have met him in person. Great job to everyone for keeping his legacy alive.

Huh. System requirements are a lot lower than what you have. Are you using both monitors?
That flickering is probably something to do with the monitor itself, although it could be the card that agitates it. With a power supply like that, have you considered a second card for crossfire?

Not really into Xfire, since it's limited to a 5870 or 5850, I'd need another XXX Ed card, and they had been very pricy, plus since there was alot of issues back then and for these EOL cards, drivers kinda stopped helping some time ago.

Just use the 1 monitor[60Hz}, or the Vizio[75Hz}. With all the TS spec's,, 2012 and 2013 mainly it's not for when you want to use all the eye candy, that's where it get's little dicey.
When were in the big storm and on twin tracks, if using any AA [which makes a great IQ} that's just one reference to it stuttering. TS2012 in a world edited like adding a couple locomotives can do same even without AA, so it's hit and miss. It's like every few seconds maybe when frame buffer swaps IDK..............

The reboot thing not really a game changer, just haven't been able to try it on the Vizio lately to rule out the 216BW.

Was just thinking that I had a reference 5870 laying around and thought one of them might accidentally fall in to the mailbox.

Hi everyone! I am stinger608's daughter.

I was simply amazed when my dad came over today and brought the computer in that he won in my honor!!!!!

He said that it was an ongoing contribution to a fellow member on some forum. I couldn't believe what he was telling me about this person. I'll bet Dean was a great guy!

I guess his forum name was Kreij? From what dad is saying he was a very good guy and helped people alot on this forum.

I just wanted to give a huge thanks to everyone! I was amazed when he told me that all of this computer was donated by people on this forum. Thank you very much to everyone!

Not sure how often I will visit the site but I wanted to tell everyone thank you from the bottom of my heart as I really really needed a decent computer system.

Merry Christmas everyone
Katness!

This thread never quits amazing me!

I can already see it; October 25th 2032: The Kreij #65 system give away. :laugh:

Of course there will be several of us dead by then as well. :roll: @Norton will be in his walker trying to type the upcoming Kreij rig give away. :p

Right now I'm good, I found some really good deals on RAM, case, psu etc on the forums a little while back, and microcenter is nearby for a good processor/mobo deal.
 
should have the system up and running late February its gonna take him some time to come up with the cash for a psu,ram,hdd.case and cooler ... ill do a build log when the time comes as ill be helping him assemble it
he should be along shortly to post here ...

http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/t...cosmos-dean-kreij-kortenhoven-edition.208418/
*link has been added to the OP of this thread also

Check it out! ST.o.CH does some really awesome custom work! :rockout::respect:

Thanks Bill,

This one will take a while to accomplish because on this project I am starting to make parts in bended acrylic, and so the faster I get it right the faster I will finish it.
 
little bit of a update on Kreij pc as soon as I get the funds together I am gonna cut the side panel out a bit bigger and send some acrylic out to be laser engraved with deens picture I posted awhile back
then hopefully follow with some beefier hardware
hopefully will happen by april due to the complexity of the image and the material I want cut its going to be a fairly expensive deal
