If you're into RTS, Empire:Total War though what it seems might be a system hog is a beatiful, simple and addicting RTS I love the F*CK out of it and really capture 17 century warfare well.

but there are a lot of good games coming out check out gamespot.com to see what coming out

Very nice. I just built this

that looks very nice earthshaker... so when does it arrive at my house :)

I can build one for you. Cost out the door is 4500

Beast how much did the SSD's set you back if you don't mind me asking? I definitely want to get them for my rig also.

AFRICAN AMERICANS..LEARN TO F*CKING NOT QUOTE THE POSTS WITH F*CKING 5 F*CKING PICTURES ON IT FOR FUCKS SAKE I WILL RAPE THE NEXT PERSON WHO DOES IT.....IN THE F*CKING MOUTH.

~350 each

Thing is that you can get pretty much any of them with the indilinx controller and they will work similarly. Back when i built this the Vertex was the only one out with it.

The absolute best is still the Intel X25-M--in fact the X25-M G2 is by far the best. I would spend the extra to get that if you only wanted one.

Thank you for the recommendation. How does the water cooling work if you don't mind me asking? How often do you have to change out the fluid in the lines if you do at all?

That is actually a Boreas--it is a chiller. The coolant in it never needs to be replaced because it is a closed loop. You may need to top it off every once and a while, but that would be a very small amount. At idle, even with all that stuff, it will bring the coolant down to 18* at full power. That said, it doesn't actually have to run like that. You basically choose a temp and it will adjust the pelts and fans to hold it. It is a very cool unit.

Nice, thanks for the information. I am always looking for ways to improve my rig. Looking at the parts you purchased reminds me of mine when I got them back in May. We have the same mobo and processor, I am sure you can tell obviously from my prior posts in this thread.

Have you overclocked the 920 yet? You should be able to get to ~4ghz pretty easy. With all the ram in the one i built the bclk had trouble reaching 200, but i still got it to 3.8

I have not tried overclocking it yet. I have just left it stock, as is. Would you mind posting up the components you have in a list?

some people might take you up on that offer

He should learn not to use caps what you think?

how hard is it to F*CKING get avatars? jesus christ your making our forums look like shit.

I said I have an avatar in mind but I do not know how to make one and if someone offered to make one for me I would certainly put one up. It is stated in the other thread where you said that I need one.

Intel i7 920
Gigabyte ex58 UD4P
12 gigs of Corsair ddr3 1600 (8-8-8-24)
2x 120 gig Vertex SSDs in raid
2x EVGA GTX 285s in SLI
Corsair HX1000 PSU
Cooled by a Coolit Boreas in a TJ07

ive never built a computer is it pretty hard for somone who dont know what they are doing because seeing this makes me want to build my own

Cooled by a Coolit Boreas in a TJ07 is serious coin, but it looks sick (in a good way)!
