So i slept in to about 12:00 or so today, to be woken by my doorbell being annoyingly and repeatably rung. So i drag myself out of bed and to the front door. When i put my eye to the peep hole i screamed at the top of my lungs. "OMG ITS HERE!" It was the UPS man standing their with a heap of boxes. I gave him my John Hancock and took all of the packages. It was like winter with all the packing materials flying in the air and my cat (Mr. Bubbles) was having a ball. Anyway, after I had gotten it all laid out, here was the scene in my room.

Pic's take with my phone so if you hate bad quality look away, :P

Its great man, im not sure how to test it at full load but i played World In Conflict for about 6 hours straight and it only got to 27c*. The highest it every got was 30c* and that was Crysis for a few hours. Also I have no Air Con in my room and it gets pretty hot here so i guess its doing a pretty good job!

Middle of the road? Naw... That thing is a pretty killer computer.

8800GTX is old but still fairly high end.

However the Q6600 is old. The Q9450 is the new and it can overclock so much more + it has 12 megs of L2.

The 8800gtx might be old but theres 2x of them and even tho the q6600 is old it can still overclock decently. After you get to a certain speed it doesn't really matter how much more you overclock, the cpu is the least of his worries. Overall its alot more than middle of the road theres one card that i know of thats BARELY better than 8800gtxin sli and the cpu won't matter that much if he gets a decent overclock i don't know what your talking about

It can max out Crysis if you have the rig and know the proper tweaking.

haha, correct question would be: is it better than a thermalright ULTRA 120 eXtreme with a high CFM fan (ala scythe ULTRA kaze)? the answer is no. no it is not. no air cooled solution is and only one comes close (tuniq tower). EDIT: oh pff, it's a low end peltier. i still challenge it's abilities to my soon to purchase U120 w/kaze 3krpm. as it's just a HS.. a badly designed one at that.. with cool air. only has two heatpipes.



i'm a little weirded out that you bought 2x8800GTX's and skimped out on the monitor (226BW is considered the best 6bit panel)



also that you didn't go for aftermarket GPU cooling. you can get so much more out of it with it lol.



and does no one here realize that more powerful items cost more? Q9450 costs twice as much as a Q6600 with nowhere NEAR close to double the performance.

However the Q6600 is old. The Q9450 is the new and it can overclock so much more + it has 12 megs of L2.

The q6600 and 8800gtx might be a little long in the tooth, but they will still perform as high end parts, especially since he OC'ed the q6600. 8800GTX SLI performs better than a 9800gx2 usually, so I would consider that high end.

it also usually costs significantly more, especially with the price of GTX's, and an SLI mobo.

could easily have gotten a GX2 for less.. and just wait for new drivers, it'll do a lot better soon imo.

Wow some people are calling this not so high end.:|

And yes 8800GTX SLI>>9800GX2.

But wait a damn minute.I know i'll probably get bashed for saying this but you got $250 mobo,$700+ worth of graphics cards,super expensive BOSE speakers and $200 LCD????

I am sorry but that is awful IMO.I am not hating but i cant belive how can someone spend thousands on graphics cards,motherboards,CPU's and what not and then skimp on one of the most important things for your gaming experiecne i.e. the monitor.

I am sure you will have a blast with that and you will enjoy your monitor but you wont get to know what you are missing unless you game with a better display.

I have little skinny wrist too so it was a little painful. The needle was fine but it took me so long to do the lines that it started to hurt after a while. Not too bad though, more of an irritating headache in your wrist.

8800GTX can be beaten by a non-voltmodded, overclocked 8800GTS 512. voltmodded it blasts past the ULTRA.

Q6600 costs less than half the amount that the 9450 costs. does it perform 50% worse? not even close.

Actually the 8800GTS 512mb is made on the smaller cooler 65nm die. Which means that is vastly improved oc potential over the 8800GTX.

Vastly improved oc potential is a bit over exxageration.The GTX is also a pretty damn good ocer,plus the extra memory bandwitch comes into play more often than you will think.Plus all other things remaining constant,more VRAM=better ready for future games.

Honestly no one in their right minds would pick up a GTS over GTX if money was a non issue.
