    Scary! because its so similar to mine. I use a 37" HD LCD as my main display and have a c90s. But I have yet to hook my c90 up to the 37" nowhere to sit it.... I use it with my desktop instead.

    wow loco 4ghz cpu and a very nice OC on the 8800GTS what is your 3dmark06 score?

    Also what case is that with the 3x 120mm fans in the front? Looks effective but I still want my P182.

    Last the server it looks like with several HDD's how much space is there in total? cause man thats alot of HDDs.

    I still am in possession of said display. Until the end of Euro 2008. Having a 42" display is >>> a 14". Especially considering how much better it is.

    Not bad, I got 9100 on my latest build for my boss.

    9600gt @ stock (in a 4x slot too so it maybe bottleneced just abit)
    q6600 @ 3ghz
    4gb mushkin ram.

    goes to show just how powerfull that 140$ 9600GT is!

    I bet with a OC to 3.6ghz on the q6600 and a overclock on the GPU I could get up to 13000 easy.

    Man I miss the old 3dmark version that just gives your score, the one I have no makes you go online to see it :(

    I agree on passing the GTX280 I read all the reviews today and its crap, the 260 may be pretty good if the price goes down just abit, but right now the 9800GX2 is the best performance card for the money beating or tieing the GTX280 for over 150$ less.

    Bang of the buck is still the 8800GT, 8800GTS G92, and I think the 3870X2 is doing great for now 300$.

    I am waiting for the new 4870 and see how the market prices shift before I make my move on my new computer. I probably will go bleeding edge and skip the new cards because I am on a budget.

    since I discovered my laptop could run two monitors simultaneously i've added a second and run the laptop closed :)

    so yeah hence the layout change....

    [​IMG]

    Viewsonic VA2226W 22"
    Sansoung 710N 17" - hopefully upgrade to Samsung 940B 19" widescreen
    Dell XPS m1330 - specs in sig
    Wireless Logitech Wave keyboard
    Logitech G7 Carbon Mouse
    Mousepad is a cheapy metal one from EB (powerwave)
    2.5" 250Gb External

    and the rest is fairly self explanatory....

    I always hear just the opposite that it is one of the main ways it gets rid of heat, just because its not exhaust doesn't mean heat doesn't go thru there.

    @ LiquidSteel, the color of your chair is the color I really wanted...
    It reminds of the baseball leather interior of the Audi TT that I'm hunting for.

    I get all jumpy when my room is out of order. Keep it clean and I'm all good. I hated living in a dorm. Desk was too small. Too cramped. Drove me insane.
