My Son's New PC

[Rockette]

This is probably not the place for this, but follows the subject & intent of the thread.
If anyone is looking to put together a power gaming system, I have a closet full of parts I'd like to be rid of. I would love to drop it whole on a techno-nerd that can make good use of it otherwise it's individually all going on ebay.
All the stuff is brand new--PM for questions or details.
Includes:
Monsterous Toughpower 1000W power supply w/PFC
MSI P6N SLI motherboard
Intel Core2 Duo E6850, LGA775, 3GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB
4x 1GB modules Corsair XMS2 DHX Dual-Path memory
2x MSI nVidia NX8800 Ultra SLI
2x Western Digital WD1500ADFD 10,000rpm Raptor hard drives
CD/DVD Rewritable drive
Coolermaster Mystique case
Logitech MX3100 Cordless desktop (cordless keyboard & mouse)

Yikes, that's some primo hardware there, Rockette!! You've got a few bucks tied up there, for sure! Good luck moving it. :

You know, Robert, you've been a regular little ray of darkness in this thread! Don't you have a video or something to work on?!?

I can understand Robert's remarks, I also invested in dinosaur machines in the past.. atari, commodore, amiga.. now it's mac's... sigh

it's hard not to try and poke fun at the other machine when you see yours lacking in certain addons and games.. it's just natural... :

Overclocking been around forever.. it's nothing new.. but is a great way to increase your systems performance..

and if you do get crazy... just buy another chip and overclock again..

most MB now have overclock settings that allow testing.. it's all pretty basic.. even for truck drivers!

Rockette.. whohooooo... that is a bunch of stuff.. I think that powersupply is afew hundred on it's own.. all together roughly figuring your talking about 1200.00 just in parts.. that about right?

would be one super machine.. why are you not completeing it?

Not my bucks!
Rocket bought all that nerd-bait to build a new power-system for himself but never got around to assembling it before he left. He ended up buying a new laptop and now his "power-system" is cluttering up MY guitar closet.
End result--it's gotta go!

BTW, new Vista Home Premium will be included if sold as a complete system kit.
