New Comp!

Postby (>Tool<) » Fri Feb 07, 2003 11:48 am

My new computer will be built this evening, I am acquiring all the parts to finish it in a few hours, so if you see me on wolf tonight my baby is up and running. P4 2.4ghz (going to OC that) GeForce 4mx 420 (sad card[OC'ed not too bad], but only real upgrade needed is new vid card) 1 Gig pc2100 DDR ram, 17" moniter, optical mouse and eagle (q-Window) case with 7 total fans. I'll probabily post a pic of it if I get my pencam to work cause I'm gonna take Edogg and Zogs advise and use cable ties to neaten everything appropriatly. This computer project has been a colaberation of many things I learned from Edogg and Zog (and others) as well as some trusted friends and schooling. So thank you Zog and Dog (shortened :D) for you input in my forums. happy gaming everyone! ;)

Yeah I have it all right now, just waiting for my friend so he can supervise me. I got the Gigabyte motherboard cause the assholes sold the Asus I asked them to hold for me. Is the gigabyte titan 845E a piece of shit? I hope not, the guy told me it was more stable then the Asus but comperable in performance, hit me back..........

I haven't ever had any issues with Gigabyte... but I love the Salesman's pitch to push you over to another product on behalf of them screwing up.. I hope they offered you a discount..

and thank God you have finally gotten your parts... I was ready to read a post saying that you had decided to take a road-trip to the manufactureres sites to pick up the parts personally... If there is one thing I have learned from these posts is that you are a bit excited about this pc build.. I am sure that it will kick much ass after all is said and done.. have fun!!!!

I usually get stuf in 1-2 buisnes days, provided they don't screw up. I know when i got my new rig i had to re-order and buy the retail boxed CPUs because they couldn't get the OEM ones! and i had to pay more for that and then the saturday delivery!

i think the vid.card (geforce4 ti4200 128megs 8x) is the only thing at my comp that is up-to-date... but i'm proud on my 650mhz athlon :p

my parents dont trust me for crap when it comes to computers. if mine brakes down, its my fault (even if im at school when it does) to top it off, the wont let me custom order ours.

so, im stuck with a 1.72 ghz, p4, 256 mb ram (:() and a 64 mb tnt2:mad: grr......if only i could custom order...

im sitting here holding bf1942...but cant play it, haha.

Yeah my benchmark (with shitty GF4 mx420) went from 2,900 in my compaq 1 Gigahertz to 4,600 in my new comp and this damn card isn't even AGP, sometime I'll get a nice card and rocket off into heaven! :lol:
