$2,000.00 SLI, RAID, Smoker

Post by eXg. Pun1sher »

Trying to save a buck or two. You won't find any slouches here. This is a total rig (minus keyboard/mouse). Sexy Case, 550w. PS, Asus SLI MB, 4000+ ClawHammer proc., 2G Corsair XMS, SLI 7800GT's, Plextor DVD, Creative XFI, WD RAID HD (16M cache). This should be AT $2,000.00 SHPPED.

No, but I've been getting alot of requests to price systems out. I've found a very small number I like at builders, but for the money, you can build your own, and get smoking performance. This was just one I threw together last night, trying to keep it under $2,000.00 SHIPPED to you guys. I may work on other price points. :)

Good choice on the XFX instead of the EVGA. I take it you read the reviews too?

I just read your other post, and wanted to get the 411 on the issue. My 6800GT was an EVGA, and that puppy overclocked like no tomorrow, but my new cards are XFX, again, overclock with no issues. The problem is limited to the EVGA 78 gt's ??

With this model number "256-P2-N517-AX" seems like allot of them were sent out with "bad memory" etc. I posted a linky in the other thread.

Well, hehehe, it varies from member to member. Some of them use the "I'm closing my eyes" approach, and others use the "Grounding is for faggs" approach. The best of us research the parts first, check for compatibillity issues, overclocking abillities, order them, and set them up.

You will never find two people that build a computer the same. They might like to do this or do that first etc. I have certain steps I take, im sure Dark will chime in but thats ok, cause i will be showing how I do things.
