Back from the bowels

[color=yellow]Hey I am back. After over a week with upgrade problems. 2 bad towers and a bad graphics card from Fry's, and hours of trouble because I installed the CPU fan incorrectly, I am back up and running with a few new parts.;-)

Asus Pn532 SLI Deluxe Mobo

2 gigs of PQI 533mh DDR2 ram

A new Maxtor 250 gig SATA hard drive

a Cooler Master copper CPU fan

A fresh operating system(Windows Professional)

an X-infinity 600 watt power supply

new network card

New Memorex dvd/cd-rom

New Sony Dual Layer DVD

An entry level server case from Silverstone (It's so huge, I had to order Mobo power extentions to make them fit from the PSU.)

and 2 GeForce 7800 GTX OC graphics cards running in SLI mode.

Operating system still is a bit touchy about hardware changes but I am getting it ironed out. Scored a 5200 on 3D Mark06.I know my cpu (P4 3.4 LGA 775 chipset) is the bottleneck now, but I will save up some more and buy a Pentium D monster when Windows Vista becomes more readily available.

All this while simultaneously working on the re-model and of course, regular work.

You know Juim, you have this gift for making my monster machine seem so tame.

Nice rig.

I hope that I will have a few bucks to dedicate to my machine soon. Its still huge so its not imperative yet. I would like to upgrade before it becomes so though.

Juim, what's your favorite game to play on that monster rig? I'm curiuos what one does with all that power... :smile:

Mahjong

I was thinking maybe Freecell.

Your both wrong. Spider solitaire sails on this thing. The cards look alive.

COD2 looks rather impressive, but mostly I have been going back through my HL2mp maps and seeing them with a fresh eye and substantially higher frame rates.despite steams touchy nature, this really is a beautiful game.

F.E.A.R looks mighty damn good as well.

cough!..(PS dm_waterwerx is finished :rolleyes: )...cough!

and looks fantastic in most spots. I was really getting tired of rebooting my system every 20 minutes, So when I upgrade, I like to be set for a couple of years.

Sadly, I left my crystal ball in storage so if you are not up to posting it in your thread, how were we to know exactly? :wink:

For the record, this map is one of the few on my watch list. So, it wasn't I who didn't retain interest enough.

Well I must apologise for that Orph, I updated the thread to show it, but then updated the profile and once I did that posting and new comments were turned off I think. I also posted a news story but it has'nt been put up yet. I hope you guys enjoy it more now.

Don't apologize. I am almost sure that that particular bug was posted, but not yet addressed.

I suspected as much.
