my new main rig

just a few pics i have hosted on my image server currently. I'll add more when i have time, just wanted to show it off a bit, nothing too special.

Lian Li PC A10 black
Intel Q6600 G0 @ 400x8 1.4v
XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 cooler
EVGA 780I SLI
Corsair Dominator 1066 DDR2 2 x 2GB
2 EVGA 9800GTX's waiting for GTX 260 step up
WD 500GB SATA 16mb cache 7200rpm
8GB USB pen drive for page file
Samsung DVD-RW with lightscribe
1000w Antec Truepower
Windows Vista Ultimate 64
Windows XP Pro 64

I am pretty sure i'm cpu bottlenecked. But with my cpu at 3.4Ghz I managed a 17.3K 3dmark06. sorta unhappy with it but oh well its just a score, it games fine. After i get my gtx 260's i'm going to try to find a q6600 g0 that will run higher than 3.2 stable.

Nice stuff in there.

So... Did you step up your video cards yet?

Nice setup Nook,

If your shooting for high 3dmark scores you should go with a 4ghz dual core cpu, but if you just want a fast all around rig the Q6600's are the $h1t. That case rocks!

yeah i'm in queue like position 40 for the step up, sigh, its taking for ever.

and yes this case is bad a$$, i dont care what they cost, they are worth the money you spend to get lian li, its light, thermal transfer friendly, and sexy. only wish i got a bigger one :-D but the taller ones didnt have the nice closing door in the front.

the only thing that sucks is the 4 pin power to mobo barely reaches from bottom of the case to the top of the board. i wish i could find a 6" or so extension so i could hide the wire better.

You have to wait in line? Huh?

yeah in a queue to get your rma numbers i guess its because of the high amount of people trading in their cards for the new gtx 260/280.
