    3dmark06 is all I'm wondering, less you got cod4.

    also, what are your specs, in case missed you posting them someplace else, and how was your doing business with K|N? anyproblems?

    One more, whats this special surprize, and I can't wait weeks.

    Ill go buy COD4 tonight or tommorow.

    Specs hmmm lol - changed it so many times.

    4G DDR-1333
    QX9300- Only OCEd to 2.8 (just on the multiplier)
    2- 320 HD's
    Vista Ultimate
    2- 3870's crossfire


    My dealings with Mark at K|N were awesome. We changed my specs and he actually took the time to update me at least 3 times a day since I made at least 50 changes to my order.

    I also had ordered the Odachi which I ended up cancelling for antoher Nagamaki which is waiting for the .....something =)

    He called me to make sure it arrived and booted fine. He hand delivered mine down to Fed-ex to make sure it got here for a saturday delivery.

    He went over every combination we could do and gave me live benchmarks as they were being done to mine to figure out which config would suite me the best.

    Lets see....I cant really brag any more about my experience, but I will say in 8 years of being in business for myself it was the best buying experience I have ever went through, not to mention I was willing to spend a ton more than I did and he told me it would be a waste of money that I would never use it. So he actually cut his sale down to mae sure I got the absolute best setup I could possibly have.


    PS: with 3dmark's remeber that OCing is king, so it probally wont go as high as say a OC'd 9100. But gaming should be as good if not better. And I can play 2 games at once lol

    PSS: The deisng might not be done for 3 weeks or so, so I cant let the cat out of the bag as to what quite yet. But its goign to blow everything away I assure you =)

    I'm hoping to see what ya pull.. I've already got the x9100, and I expect it to perform well. I am thinking bout ordering a qx9300 as well. Found a good deal on a retail one(I don't do ES), and I'm thinkin that just for the sake of ultimate performance it may be fun to throw one in the new rig. So, please don't disappoint me!

    does it smell like sweet victory? or simply pure dominance? Let me know, chances are that im getting one of these very soon. I love everything about the nagamaki, except the one thing where I don't understand why you can get 3year warranty from xoticpc while KN only offers 1 year to start with.

    I think he played both sites and showed his benchmark at 2 sites. I don't understand why you had to send people who read it form NBR to read at GOG?

    but I think 9800gt sli more stable than 3870cf when oc'ed becuase I've read form Mark at GOG that he told oc'ed 3870 hadn't got higher 3dmark more than stock. If I haven't wrong memory

    This site is intended to be an open forum for people everywhere to discuss technology, gaming and anything else that is cool, without the bullsh*t censorship that runs rampant on some of the other sites out there.



    There have been a few setbacks, as some of you may have already noticed at the forum. So much of our time is dedicated to honing our gaming skills, that some of our more mundane skills, such as web management, have suffered in the meantime and we apologize. But rest assured, we are working hard to get this beast up and running. So check back often.

    nah, it's weird. it added his benchmark to my list. since mine was auto login. at first i thought it was one of mine. till i looked again at the q9300 part. it may have to do with him not having a registered copy...not sure.

    nice... low temps and the qx is running fine.

    would like to hear how the battery last if you ever get round to it. or how long it takes to get to 80 percent. since waiting for a battery to drain really isn't helping the constant request of benchmarks be thrown your way. :D
