loooooooool

what a fucking computer

cheaper scrap

Its all been updated now, check out the video responce.

[jeroeniskoning]

But, why windows?.... it sucks your whole system down

[britrb32]

Because I hate the command line shite you have to learn for Linux. And all the Linux forums are full of people that say (when you ask a question) "If you don't know, you shouldn't be using Linux." So I don't bother anymore.

I am loving the new Windows 7 though. Its very light on a system (I loaded it onto an Acer One Netbook - 1.6Ghz CPU, 1Gb RAM - and it runs great) Maybe I'll use Win7 for the next build.

Have fun all,

Brian :)

OK but thats windows 7....

And yo dont have to learn the linux language to use it. I use Ubuntu and its all GUI. The forum is the best online now and ive never read of "If you don't know, you shouldn't be using Linux" over there.

Nice PC btw =D

have fun and check it out...

[britrb32]

Maybe I will mate, I have finally got all the parts apart from RAM for my next build though I still have to cut the new case up, and get it painted...

I have tried Ubuntu in VPC, but could never get used to it.

:)

@britrb32 in need of old amd parts so plz send them my way ram processor any u got will be thankful ya

[sharkmot]

OK so the money is the biggest problem atm

but however the intel cpu are better then amd that is something everyone shut know that is in the gaming market but you need like 200 euro for a intel cpu and 100 euro for a amd with the same performance

i will get my AMD phenom 2 945 next year april

will run on 3GHz stock but you can overclockt it to 5 with watercooling but however there are still no benchmarks of this processor so i will wait till next year that i will upgrade my rig

[britrb32]

I went with socket LGA775 because I already had the board before i7 came out. And due to the actions of some greedy idiot property brokers and bankers around the world, I don't have as much money as I would have before the credit crunch!

Anyway the Q9650 @ 3Ghz will be a big enough jump from the Phenom @ 2.5Ghz. Of course the Phenom is OCed to 2750Mhz, and I will OC the Q9650 to about 3.8Ghz (I know you can get it to run at 4Ghz, I may need this CPU to last a while!)

Have fun all,

Brian :)

[sharkmot]

why are you going for the Q9650 when intell have there new Core i7 production line

will be a nice project if you will put it all in a lian li server cube will olso be nice if you drill out the tob of it and place there your radiators

it is still a dream of me to get one of that cases and dremel the top out and place my 9x120 mm radiator so it will not be anymore on the outside of my case.

gl with your project
