Re: New Rig

i personally would learn to build a computer but thats not possible for other people,but it will be so much cheaper building it yourself.

Re: New Rig

Impressive build to say the least, the only reason anybody on here will give you slack about it is because you "overpaid" for it. They'll tell you that you could have built it yourself for half the price, all that junk. But as you already said, you are military (I'm guessing Army or Marines, Air Force/Navy don't "deploy often" as you put it) so you don't have time...the more I read your specs, the more bad *** your computer seems. Would you do us a favor and post some pictures? And also, introduce me to whoever the hell it is that got you a discount on that build? I'm active duty Air Force and my damn job doesn't give re-enlistment bonus, you know I need the help!

Re: New Rig

lol what security clearance do you have lol, no i looked up all the gear for it and it just about adds up to 5 grand, both cards run about 1100 and the processor hits over a thousand, if i did hook you up it sure wouldnt be over the net he could lose his job lol, do you get sep pay for deployment and hazard pay or combat pay? all that helps me out lol wife and i live pretty good now i saved tons i just got alittle over 41 thousand lol

would have been alot cheaper to buid it yourself, plus that way you could have opted for the Q6600 and not waste money on the QX6700,

there was something funny about that rig lol, all that highend hardware and you opt for Vista Home Premium :laugh:

yep very true here.... I would have gotten Ultimate and really shopped around for good deals cause all these high end parts will be outdated in a few months.

Re: New Rig

How much of that ram do you actually have control of?

I'd say XP 32/64 bit os would have been better. Do a dual boot too, so your not limited on the 64bit os.

Of course the mad part is how much it cost but since you got it half price you did very well for getting all the top o the line stuff. Though, all that ego put into it and they only give you 4x 1gb 800 mhz ram sticks? I would have imagined something more scary looking like those 2gb 1200 mhz water cooled sticks - Well, I seen that maybe in 1GB forms but I'm sure if I looked around I'd find a 2GB.

But no doubt thats an awesome rig. Make me feel like I have low end stuff now... Jerk =P lol

Re: New Rig

Living in Turkey, I get hostile fire pay but that's only 225 dollars a month. We do get separation and hazard pay, but no combat pay (I think) as I don't see combat. I'm sure you're racking up money in a major way seeing as how you guys are getting deployed often. Anyway, fight on to you and stay safe whenever you go back...
