Review: My $1300 PC will smoke yours!

Kreij: "They say if you give 1000 monkeys, 1000 computer parts and 1000 years, through random chance they will create the world's best supercomputer.
Helvetica: "How about my new rig?"
Kreij: "3 monkeys, 2 months."

Just teasing, Helv ... Nice system and a decent price.

Review: My $1300 PC will smoke yours!

o ya? well guess what?!!!! mine does everything i want it too with all the eye candy and no loag!!!!! it it was fun to tweak it to do that and not just buy faster parts!

lol j/k well semi true but you have a mad sweet rig glad your happy i wish i had the money to blow to all fo those on tpu saying you have no life once you have a GF you were sooooo right i moved in with mine and then all of a sudden WTF 200 on a monitor whats wrong with yours?

its like um it isnt big enough?....its 19" David........so? no no way.......fine....how bout 200 on gskill? whats that? ram....qwhy? cause i dont have mathcing sticks the g skill is faster and its 4 gigs so i can run dual channel and stomp ppl at benchmarks...is that the only reason you want it?.....no then why?,.......to play games on really huigh settings....

it didnt go over well. she clearly did NOT understand how important this all is.

Edited...

Solaris17 · Oct 25, 2007

KennyT772 · Oct 25, 2007

All that money, yet no case, no cooling, peice of shite dvd drive, and poor memory choice. great planing there bud.

FatForester · Oct 25, 2007

^^ Agreed. But, like others have said, he's prob just excited... and trying to piss everyone off. I bet right now he's laughing, especially looking at how seriously some of you took his comments.

i would rather have some sold sate HDDs. nice rig.

b1lk1 · Oct 25, 2007

My penis is bigger, I mean my PC is better and I spent slightly less than you did.

OrbitzXT · Oct 25, 2007

I read through pages 1 and 3 of posts and didn't see it mentioned, but if you didn't buy this stuff already I'd replace the Radeon and wait for the soon to be released 8800GT. Its cheaper, more powerful than the 2900XT...and while not confirmed yet I'll be comfortable betting that its quieter too. I plan on selling my GTX when it comes out and getting myself a GT, having a little spending cash on hand.

b1lk1 · Oct 25, 2007

I sure wish I had a couple Raptors though...........

d44ve · Oct 25, 2007

I cant believe how jealous some of you are getting.... not to mention you felt like you HAD to post that you thought your system was better than his.

Seriously.... does it really matter to you THAT much? He is excited about his new setup, big deal. When you get a new computer part... do you not run to the forums armed with new pictures and tests showing how great your new part is? Everyone does it, I do it, you do it....

I hope you don't have nightmares about this thread :rolleyes:

Good luck with it mate,and enjoy it.I know i would.

freeboy · Oct 25, 2007

this thread gets my lmao thread of the day vote..
to all I say take pride in your pc builds!

J-Man · Oct 25, 2007

wataMG42 · Oct 25, 2007

hey ur pc build is nearly the same as mine way to go

freeboy · Oct 25, 2007

some of us are very, hum lets say "Ferringi" stingy and take pride in bargains.. I know I did in my recent fiasco rebuild, ok ,add 100$ due to oops, one ide slot in the p5k-e, me mangling a pin in my dvd and needing a emergengy sata drive to help on the install! total conversion cost 939 to 775. fx 60 2 gig to e 6850 two gig, around 25.00$ no worries.. there is always someone smarter faster etc! Its not what you have, its what you do with what you have,
that was a freebe lol!

erocker · Oct 25, 2007

It's a fine system mate! Go out and get yourself some exotic cooling for everything and it most deffinitely could own most!

Me??

erocker · Oct 25, 2007

I'm pretty sure he meant you. It's not nice calling someone a "douchebag".

Urbklr · Oct 25, 2007

Ohh sorry....i didnt feel douchebag was a offensive word

erocker · Oct 25, 2007

Why are you calling him anything at all?

Kreij · Oct 25, 2007

I agree. Name calling is infantile. People should learn to express themselves by expanding their vocabulary, not tossing out vain insults.

Well, if you fail to see such things you'll be gone pretty fast.

I agree m8.

A lot of TPU users have awesome systems, but most dont brag about them! I dont understand why the thread starter is being such a dickhead when that system of his is nowhere near the best on TPU!

He must be young and immature :shadedshu

I agree.
