how the hell man? 100 Celsius is prety hard to hit on anything.

Specs?

I don't care much for i7 at this point because it would seem any preferable configuration is profusely expensive. If I go i7, I would want to have crossfire support. This becomes a problem because I'm still considering getting that RAID controller, which uses a PCI-e x8 slot. There aren't any boards besides the Evga Classified which do more than PCI-e 16/8/8, and I'm not going to put a 5850 on 8x bandwidth. Crossfire isn't a must, but it would be nice to keep available if I go with an already expensive platform. This is the motherboard I've been looking at, but there's a lot to choose from.

Most, if not all, 1366 amd AM2+/AM3 boards support raid on the mobo's themselves, eliminating the need for a raid controller. Also, all i7 boards should support Crossfire X. Look at boards by Gigabyte and MSI if your tryin to save some money. Real good value in these boards that your potentially missing.

As for your CPU, choose Phenom II if your on a budget and Corei7 if you have the money to spend. Phenom II is a little weaker in performance than i7, but great bang for the buck. I use a phenom II X4 955, and im extremely happy with it. easy to overclock too.

Second is my graphics card. I know I'm not buying anything until the prices drop a little bit, but here are my options: 5870, 5850, 5850CF. If the 5850 hits $200, I'd love to crossfire that, but I doubt with that pesky RAID controller I'd be able to.

sounds like a good setup to me. dont plan on two 5870's in crossfire, all cpu's available bottleneck this like something sick.

Last decision I can't make for myself is the case. Was thinking about a custom, of which I have a few ideas in line, but it would be much easier to just buy a case and mod it. If I got a case, it would have to be close to $200, aluminum, and able to support at least 5 hard drives. Possibly a Lian-li.

Take a look at the Coolermaster ATCS 840. Really nice case. Would get one myself if i could get it locally.

I'd say thats reasonable, just watch your temps. I would advise running a stress test to make sure you dont get the bluescreen. download a free trial of 3Dmark05. run the app, and if you dont get a blue screen during the GPU tests, than your good

I never leave. I just have my moments where i don't get on because i never have time cause of school.

i usually misspell "what" as "wat" just out of pure laziness

is that how you spell that :S???

I'm thinking of referring this to a friend who needs computer help. Good or bad?
He want's cheap but good.

This IS a good computer not gonna lie. I was considering getting one myself, but after doing some research i was quickly turned away from it. The reason being is that THERE IS NO ABILITY TO DO ANY MAJOR UPGRADING.

The GPU's in it are laptop grade, and finding an upgrade for it is not even possible. None the less, it is a cool system. a couple of years down the road however, ad you will be looking for another computer.

Hey guys! Just seen this crew and i'm super ecstatic about it!

I just built my first computer over the summer. Here's the spec's:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE AM3 Socket
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake V1 AX
Motherboard: ASUS M4A78-E 790GX Chipset AM2+ DDR2 ATX
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 4890 Xtreme
Memory: Corsair XMS 4GB 800MHz DDR2 PC6400
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 750GB SATA HDD
Chassis: Coolermaster HAF 932 Full Tower
PSU: Ultra LSP750 750 Watt ATX PSU

Pretty good first build i think. Ill get a Pic up soon (i got some, but i've been cleaning up cables since)

Tell me what you think :)

Orion is good now, i must say.The one good instrumental by metallica.
Other good ones are Nottingham lace and Soothsayer, both by buckethead
If you want it to have a "Happy" mood, Then Jessica by the allman brothers would be a good choice as well
Also Da Funk by Daft Punk might be a good choice
Blitzkrieg and Black Star by Yngwie Malmsteen might bee some choices to consider as well

But recently, I've rediscovered my GBA with Pokémon Yellow still in it. Now I'm trying to get all of the starter and legendary bird Pokémon to level 100. Then, off to the Indigo Plateau it is! I've already won it once, so I've also got Mewtwo. Next stop is most likely the awesome team with my Dragonite, Mewtwo, Pikachu and legendary bird Pokémon. And after that, just catching them all and training and whatnot.

I already did all that prettymuch, and with the same game as well. all i need is a dragonite (last i remember my dragonair is like lvl 50) i already have all the catchable pokemon in the game and also all the ones from the slot machines, safari place wtf its called, and also all the ones you can get from the npc's who wanna trade. i think that i have a total of around 135-ish in my pokedex

not bad. i found it a bit choppy in the beginning, as if it wasnt loaded completely.
other than that not bad at all
