An old new kid on the block
 and I've been dabbling with home built computers since the good old days of DOS based systemsI've just bitten the bullet, so to speak, and invested in a hi-spec system after neglecting to upgrade for a couple of years and I'll be looking for advice/help from the forum to see just how hard I can push this new system. Looking through the forum it looks like I need to set a benchmark for the new system using all the stock values and then tweak from there (with support hopefully) I note that this is the 'welcome' forum so other than post the specs for the new pc I will leave my questions for the appropriate forum sectionsThermaltake Kandalf case with Thermaltake ToughPower 1000W PSU ASUS Striker SLI Extreme mobo Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad QX6850 CPU with Asus Silent Square cooler 2 x OCZ 2GB PC2-8500 1066MHz DDR2 RAM 2 x XFX GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB DDR3 1.8Ghz 1 x BFG Ageia PhysX Accelerator PPU 2 x WD Raptor 150GB SATA II running in Raid 0 as primary drive 1 x Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA II for on board storage 1 x 2Tb Networked HD server in running Raid 5 for secure storage OS dual-booted XP Pro 32bit and Vista Ultimate 64bit (because Vista is clunky) regards Kev |

Aw c'mon Nebulous, cut the formal introduction.
 :Welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay, hopefully you'll get even higher with that already high-end setup. When i got my first computer i was 5, and my dad taught me how to use it. I used to break that Win95 install all the time and then cried for dad to reinstall it... and little by little, i learned how to do it myself and now clearly outperform my father. But man, was it nice in the days of DOS games... hehe.  Well, you've got a rig that many members of this forum can just dream about, i mean, look at my sig... oh wait, i broke the rules and had it removed. Till i fix that, take a look here if you wish. Enjoy yourself! |

I will post some images Monday evening after work, along with a heap of question probably (after searching the forums). I don't plan to water cool it but then again I didnt plan to buy this spec of computer either it just sort of happened lol.Additional Comment: A score 15,463 in 3Dmark using default values except a Ram voltage tweak to 2.2v. That gives me the baseline to work from Last edited by Kevlewis : 08-18-2007 at 06:42 AM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

masses of room for hard drives but the mobo area is snug with all the toys loaded in it. It is remarkable quiet considering the fans in it
