My Next Computer...


Recommended Posts

personally, i think that is the worst case lian-li has ever made. i love lian-li cases, but not this one. i am not a fan of the board being mounted upside-down, the 120mm on the outside of the back. and the fact that there's not reset button. but, it does leave the mb are nice and clean, since everything else in on the bottom.

Edit: The OP said that they wanted the system within 4-6 weeks; I seriously doubt the X800XL will even be out by then. ****in ATI...  :angry:

X800XL is already out but the retailers have guaged the price up because there is no Nvidia PCIe card of similar performance in the $300-$400 range.

Motherboard I would go with the Abit Fatality

i'm such an ASUS Junkie though... been through 2 fabulous boards already (CUSL2-C, P4P800 Deluxe) I just can't find a reason to switch.... :blush:

Holy mother of aluminum batman!!! :| you can stick a dead body in that thing.

That thing is the one endorsed by the Quake king Fata1ity , right ? I read reviews on it and they said it was simply OK, nothing outstanding...the Fatal1ty vid card was a x700 wimpy thing.... but that ASUS mobo he has listed is widely considered the best on the market...

Same here, i can't find a reason to switch either, this is my second board from ASUS as well, my first was the P4P800 too :happy:

This is an update using the 925 chipset, what I like about it is what it doesn't include, no Serial, parallel, ps2, floppy and only 1 PATA port.

I agree though if you always use Asus and like it stick with them, I am the same but with Intel based Abit motherboards.

Actually I beleive he's the Unreal "king" but yet, made for him.

Just my opinion, its a great system you got there,

But...

3.2c - to a 3.6j Not a lot of increase really

The 6800 Ultra is nice, though

Wouldnt you be better of with keeping what you got, buy a 6800GT and run that for another 6-9 Months?

I think its a waste what you buying really for a minimal upgrade.

The Graphics card is the biggest leap.

Again, Steven we have a similar setup... and all that is going to cost around ?1,620.58. For that price i Would of expected a higher spec.

Just my Opinion. Sorry if its not welcome

yah..but this is not just about going from 3.2GHz to 3.6GHz It's really about building a complete new machine with all the latest stuff. It know it seems foolish but its not just about the CPU.

I'm going to overhaul my disk drive and optical setups as well.

The ICH5R doesn't take advantage of any Command Queuing technologies. The ICH6R does which means I need a new board.

Both WD Raptors have TCQ.

I really want a new computer that only uses SATA. My Board only has 2 SATA ports a brand new board with ICH6R has 4 with all the newer controller options.

So without buying an additional controller card for my present board I would not be able to fit the new drives into my current system.

I want to improve my I/O performance while improving the technology of my computer.

Doing that will unfortunately require an overhaul.

^True mate

I do envy you... though

My setup seems so old :(

Overall, as a new system it much more complete and high end latest tech etc as you said.

2 Raptors will be nice... :D

I think its a good setup then :p

Did you mention Speakers? I know you said a Audigy 2 ZS...

And I never liked that case... It looks so appealing now.

And yeh, the Wavemaster is a good case... Its just.. small it seems.

Id have to have that Lian Li with a window, (Off topic, is that possible?)

My speaker situation is limited to my desk, which is unforunately very tiny. After all it was provided to my when I move in to my apartment by my school.

I will have to keep my old and busted Boston Acoustic BA735 2.1 system for now. Believe you me I would buy a setup of those Logitech ones in a heartbeat.

    • The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.
    • Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.
    • Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc
    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
