im pretty sure that there will be a point where computers become faster then the human perception of the mind.....

I am going to be building a new box soon.

Whats the best sites to get stuff from? Pricewatch? I haven't been into computers in quite a few years ...

How do you like that case? I was thinking of picking it up a few weeks ago when Newegg had it on sale.

I absolutely love it. Building stuff with the Geminii cooler was a little difficult but everything else about it is amazing. You aren't going to find a better cooling case of this size. My quad core idles at 30 C... and they pump out some serious heat! I really like how the hard drive cages are put together and the 200mm fan is just plain cool =D

shane27 11-02-2007 08:06 PM

yeah my friend has that case....i want it

BonzoHansen 11-02-2007 08:15 PM

Nice setup... too bad you couldnt wait a little more than a month for the 9 series card, which is gonna be simply badass with 1GB DDR4 :shock:

I was never too fond of the way Antec made their cases. The two Antec cases I have previously owned were either extremely flimsy or "made on a friday" type deal. But ur case looks pretty sweet. I got me an XClio Acase, full tower, solid, sturdy, and two 250mm fans that is preparing my case for liftoff :lol:

Nice rig, Ryan. A few months ago I built one with an E6600, 8800GTS 640MB, 4GB Corsair XMS DDR2 800 PC-6400 4-4-4-12, P5W DH Deluxe, 2 Barracuda drives, a Thermaltake VA8000 case and a OCZ GameXstream 850W PS for about the same price. I should have waited a little longer but jumped the gun.

How do you like that Q6600?
