Review: My $1300 PC will smoke yours!

[Urbklr]

Helvetica....saying there is something wrong with me....ohh man....you just opened a can of corn mister....

 

[3991vhtes]

oooh, I like corn.

in my mashed potatoes.

lol.

 

[erocker]

Urbklr, you're opening up the door to the house of the banned, though it's not really my say. Anyways, I now see that Helvetica is a genius. People aren't giving you crap about the Corsair memory, it's just that you can buy better sticks by a different brand, with better chips.

I don't have a psychology degree, but I'd say there's something wrong in your life which causes you to fuss about what nerds(me) say in internet chat rooms(techP forums).

Also if you read the first line, I said something along the lines of 'Not All of your PCs'. Also, like I said a few posts above yours is how I dramatized the thread to get extra traffic - It's the basics of journalism, and is proof that ppl form their oppinion about things by reading the title w/out reading the content.

Also, like I said b4, why would I brag about being a cheap-ass? It's not like I spent a ridiculous amount of cash-money. 1300 for a PC that can run every game I own at max graphics/FPS on 1920x1200 res is a great deal.

no more this is going to stop k? we all understand their are a few that dont thats fine.

OMG!....how do you deal with rebels??? I rebelled against Zek....and he gave me my clown sig haha.....btw....how many people here think i should remove the pic from my sig??

would you like to find out? My name isnt Zek though i love that man.

Yes! I've been waiting patiently for Q4 2007. There are so many awesome games, and I'm excited and proud of my new PC! I just finished Episoded 2 which was my most anticipated game!! Now, it's time to see how my system handles Crysis!!

[Urbklr]

ohh...your comp will handle Crysis on High...maybe Some DX10 features at 1280x1024-1680x1050.....1920x1200 is abit out of reach for now

 

[3991vhtes]

i'd watch saying ban me, Urbklr911, just a heads up

if I was you, I'd walk away from this thread, or put everyone you don't like on the ignore list.

 

[erocker]

Relax man.... I say nothing out of anger or hate. Unless I note it so. I just know that there are some behaviors that website mods do not like.

 

[Helvetica]

Thanks Urbklr911 for shattering my dreams about Crysis! I'm going to take your word for it because I know you're the go-to guy when it comes to determining whether or not unreleased games will work at high resolutions.

 

[Urbklr]

...im not banned??....and what is this infraction thingy in my CP??

Ill stay in this thread....its interesting....plus Helvetica owes me a apology....that was just mean what he said....

Wow...was that sarcasm??....trust me.....those settings most likely what you will be playing the demo on tommorow....wana bet??

 

[erocker]

A genius AND he's funny.

 

[Urbklr]

...unless you play all high...then 1920x1200 should be reachable....but not on DX10

 

[erocker]

ohh...your comp will handle Crysis on High...maybe Some DX10 features at 1280x1024-1680x1050.....1920x1200 is abit out of reach for now

My comp plays the Crysis beta on maxed settings at 1680x1050 just fine. His should deffinitely do it.

You're right ubrklr911, I apologize for insinuating that your personal life may be a bit depressing, causing you to lash out at meaningless statements on the internet that wouldn't affect the average person.

Gosh! I'm so rude! I'm such a

TOTAL DICKHEAD!

 

[erocker]

LOL!! I'm done looking at this thread. Thanks for the good time though!

 

[Helvetica]

me too~! I've had my fix for one day. I'll see u all later with pics of my rig - trust me, it won't look like what you think it will look like.. The case was designed by me.

I would've done a couple of things differently. First, I wouldn't have bought Corsair memory. I would've gone for some Crucial Ballistix or G.Skill HZs. And second, I never would've bought a Raptor. For the $180 that it costs, I could've put 2 320GB 7200.10s in a RAID 0, had almost 500GB more storage AND would've been faster than the single raptor.

Regardless, still a very nice build, that should last you for some time.

okay several thins wrong there first of all you won't have 500gb's of extra storage in raid 0, you have only 170GB extra (really closer to 150) raid 0 uses both drives as one so you don't get extra storage, just performance, second I have 3 raptors all of which load games faster by themselves than many other raid setups (not to mention the fact that flashing your bios could lose your raid)

raid 0 = stripe = performance
raid 1= mirroring= data protection (backup drive)
spanning raid gives you more space as it uses most of both drives and shows up as one in windows.

the other combos can give stripe as well but with storage or backup, none of them are as fast as raid 0. and even still he could have just as easily raid 0'd two 74 gb raptors and pwned the performance of your 320's.

exactly the comparison you're looking for. raptors while expensive are quite worth the money.

 

[Urbklr]

...im NOT depressed.....just cause i look like a emo doesnt mean i am!!! And second...YOUR ARE A DICKHEAD!

 

[erocker]

Wait! One more thing... Did you already buy the memory? If not I would totally recommend the Ballistix. They use chips that are meant for higher clocking sticks.

I've never seen anyone want to get banned so bad. What's funny is that you are not. I think the mods should just let you suffer and NOT ban you.
