3d isn't worth it on TV buddeh. Those glasses will give you a major headache etc. Just roll out one of the vizio LEDs. Those things are sexy as hell.

I have to agree. In the beginning I dismissed the brand name because it's not really well known, but I saw some (properly calibrated of course) vizio LEDs and was blown away :D

This for sure. Vizios are the shit! But i'de just wait and save money for a little while. Since 3D tv's are still in the beggining stages, you might as well wait until you have better options since currently they are limited. Something awesome is going to come out and you'll regret not waiting for it. They were talking about this same subject on the radio this morning. The International Consumer Electronics Show is going on in Vegas, and they are talking about some pretty amazing things.

I wasn't going to get a 3D, but for $2100 for the complete bundle, there is no reason not to. BTW, the Vizio 3D LED is the same price as the Samsung for this deal without the glasses and blu-ray being included.

I disagree with fraggle. Quad/Six core + Good graphics card + 8G of DDR3 = ftw sidenote i always get ocz RAM cause you can overclock the piss outta those suckers

WTB help putting my new rig together when i get my money from work/school here in about a month or so...any takers :) also Gman great rig and other rigs posted in here to were looking pretty nice. Im lookn to upgrade soon myself :)

Talk to bleep and strange. Either of them can help you.

Nice set up, kinda like mine


Thermaltake V9 Black Widow case.
core i7 930
gigabyte X58A-UD3R board
2 XFX 5770 in crossfire
6GB Corsair xms3 ddr3
Corsair 650 ps
and even though Gman hates them and Supertalent SSD 128 for my C: and two WD 320 for storage.

It's alive... and it's glorious.

I disagree with fraggle yet again, Reborn FTW.

oh i see what i did there

Pics! Lets see it Gman!

Damn, looks like I'm not the only one who thought a new rig for Christmas was the way to go. Here's what I've got:

nVidia GTX 470
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5 AM3 AMD 890FX Motherboard
16 GB of RAM (4x4 GB G-Skill Ripjaw Series DDR 1333, 9 CAS latency)
ASUS VW246H Glossy Black 24" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor
Windows 7 Home Premium

I have the Antec 900 as well, I love the case.

Gonna build a new one when i get back....hopefully all new stuff except for the case. It's a great case.

Grats on the new rig, any plans for overclocking? :) I always enjoy building a new rig and seeing how much over the standard you can push it all while keeping that tempature down! Hope it is working good for you, btw did you decide to load it up with Windows 7?

Haven't overclocked yet, but I plan to. I've been keeping an eye on the CPU temperature for a while and it's getting kinda high on its own. It's at like 85-90C after a couple hours of playing BC2. I'll probably have to upgrade the heatsink to something pretty boss before I can overclock it too much. I'll likely overclock the memory and GPU pretty soon, though. The CPU can wait a little.

The 5770 overclocks like mad! When I had mine I OC'ed my core to 1Ghz and Memory to 1350. It was awesome

Currently overclocking mine using the built-in auto-tuning thing.

So the built-in overclocking thing sucked; did it manually. Here's the before and after:

Nice!! Thats a pretty big bump 970 on the core is quite the feat. How are your temps lookin?

43 is the top temp on it -- I can't get it to run any higher with stability. Any higher and the driver crashes.
