Only one thing to change,

Change the case! ARRGGHH.

Anti

You have a few things that arnt essential like the psu lead. IT will already come with one. I would worry about the mouse. Since its lazer it wont work with alot of mouse pads. Id didnt work with my 4d or my q-pad. Check their site to see for compatibility.

Agreed, why put all that nice hardware into such a ridiculous looking case!

Joseph

Okay well I made those changes (except for the case because I think it's pretty good)

Computer ordered

Now sit back and enjoy the wait.

Go Vista and get the OEM Ultimate imo.

I have a X4400+, 7800GTX, XFI Fatality and 2GBs of RAM, and I have had no driver issues of note and very few software compatibility issues. It is easy to install, runs great and I can honestly see no point in buying XP at this point. Yes games performance is a bit worse in Vista, maybe as much as 15%, but with an 8800GTX driving your Display you won't notice it anyways and the latest Nvidia Vista Drivers are a big step up from the previous ones, and are only going to get better.

Also whats the point having a Direct X10 Card when running XP which will never support it?

hey arent you like 14? Your lucky if you are and getting that at this age my friend.

Im spending way too much money on my setup here at home now.. Ive blown atleaset €3500 on everything!
Im getting kept on in my job til september(anti knows its a well paid job lol) so im considering another 2GB of ram and vista ultimate 64 or XP64 im stuck there....

Post pictures anyway when you get all this stuff!

IgsTer

^lol yeah i know..wish i had something like it when i was 14..hopeing to get something like it doh come september..

have fun with new pc deadude..

Joseph

I'm not 14, who said I was 14 lol?

EDIT: Yes though I am lucky :P

dazftw

I was thinking of another boards member lol :rolleyes:

MooseJam

so how much did all that come to

dazftw

Yea I feel there would be no need for them? Like.. It would be tight on your hand? Restrict movement? Get wet from sweat lol

What do you work as eh? lol Affording that?

Even though ive blown over 3500 on my whole setup but ive a though factory job... pays well though :rolleyes:

floppy ftl

awhir

ya now its flash pens

but i floppy is allways hand.

DirkVoodoo

Btw, the G5 is an excellent mouse. One of its strong points is you can drag it across the backside of a rhino and it will still allow accurate pointing. I have my old dell mouse-mat and occasionally use the rough table surface. While a lesser mouse might be put off, the G5 performs the same. In such a case, I have to add that you have pissed away €29 on a "gamer mousemat". But hey, you may be a professional gamer, I don't know.

Joseph

Floppy - Sometimes I help my father with his graphic design and some of his clients use floppy.

Glove - Thought it was made of tehepixax plus I can get quite tense and as a result sweat during gameplay.. lol

Money - I have been saving for quite a while now - odds and ends really.

Mouse - Hands on the table: I was going to get the G7 (for the wireless) but they canceled them (On Komplett - presumably not selling)

I am no professional, but for years I have been using those crappy type pads you get at work - or free with a game, so I thought what the hell -> I'll buy myself a decent one

Update Komplett just sent me e-mail - It is being shipped now, should be here Saturday latest (if AnPost deliver on a Saturday?)

Elites, I'm in my late teens.

DirkVoodoo

Yeah, don't mind these nay-sayers, any time ive ordered off komplett its been about a week. Just dont go tracking your order, it makes the wait seem twice as long.

Telling me I have the track bookmarked and check it every few hours, it seems to still be at the seller. Hopefully it will be less than a week because I'll be away on holidays.

Joseph

Update: Parcels have arrived in Ireland
