Just got my new PC!

[jackson1]

> I just built a new machine myself. I got a 64 bit Athlon 3200+,Asus board and an Asus 6600GT video card,a gig of Corsair XMS-XLPT RAM with 2-2-2-5 timing,a DVD burner and 2 120 gig WD Caviar drives set up in a RAID system. The case and power supply are Thermaltake,with upgraded heatsink/coolers for both the CPU and video card. It consistently scores between 90-100K on Crystal Mark 3D,and hasn't even stuttered yet playing Battlefield 2 and Half-Life 2 Deathmatch online. I put all this together for less than 800 bucks by shopping online,got it in 3 days with free shipping and no 9.75% Tennessee sales tax. According to most of my tech-head friends,a machine that runs this good would cost at least 2 grand from Dell or 4 grand from Alienware. It even generally runs better than my friends 2k SLi rig.

I think Ron will be very pleased to read this and make him feel happy with his new Dell... Nice input! (not).

Does this mean you can finally see that Rhoads disc,Ron??

Ron, did you open it up and look for Chinese parts?

Congrats Ron!!!! Now you're making me want to upgrade my old POS. I knew you'd get a Dell! (I think we talked about that, no?). I'll likely get about the same thing in the near future. Very well built machines, and a lot of bang for the buck.

I found 'em, but I couldn't view the one, are you saying one is a video?
