Hello,
I just built me a new system after several years with my old system and
Nascar Racing runs like a scalded dog on this bad boy. I can barely
hold on to the damn joystick, it likes to jump right outta my hand.
This is ONE HELL'ava game box.
Intel845WN Motherboard w/Sound & Lan
Intel Pentium 4, 1.8 Ghz CPU Retail Box
1 Gig PC-133 SDRAM (Yes, ONE GIG of SDRAM)
60 Gig IBM Deskstar GXP 7200 RPM Hard Drive (Ultra DMA 100)
Nvidia GE Force 2 TI w/64MB DDR (Super Fast) RAM - 4X AGP
HP 24X CD R/RW Burner
Teac 12X DVD
Windows XP Home Edition
Antec Mid Tower Case w 400 Wt Power Supply
3 Cooling Fans, one front, one rear, and one blowing over the hard
drive. The case has a spot for all these fans. Plus the P/S fan and CPU
fan, this thing sounds like a jet engine at idle.
I LOVE this thing....
send me a check for $1700 plus $90 for shipping and I'll build the box
and ship it to you. Seriously, I will...
Aloha

Bragging about a new PC prompts critique and trolling
Gilligan showed off his new Pentium 4 system for NASCAR Racing. Others pointed out that pairing a GeForce2 and PC133 SDRAM with a fast CPU was unbalanced and listed cheaper, faster AMD builds. The thread also attracted a troll and jokes about spam.

I don't mean to brag, but I built a faster system for less....
The Asus MB's are awesome...
PC-133 SDRAM is kinda slow these days...
Of course faster CPUs are available, and for not much more...
16x DVD
etc...
Built one for my cousin for around $1500.

I can do better. :-) Using the same Antec case and PS though. I'll unlock a
T-Bird 1.33ghz cpu and OC to 1.46ghz for you. OC'ing comes free of charge.
I priced out a system for a net friend of mine for about a $1000 for the box
at newegg.
AMD 1800XP
ASUS MoBo Via 333 chipset
512 PC2700
ATI 8500
SB Audigy sound card
CDR
80 gig hard drive.
ROFL Andre !
-John
p.s. I built one just slightly less than his, for under a grand :)

Nice PC and all, but why would you put PC-133 and a GF2 in a 1.8 GHz PC? If
you're going high-end, why not DDR RAM and at least a GF3?

P4 w/SDRAM? GF2? IBM GXP drive?
oh yeah - bleeding edge there ;)...
$1700?
Yeah, right - run away people!

waste.... and in australia that is $3400 which is quite expensive
considering it has no monitor (computer gear is cheaper in the states even
when u convert the currency), and the last thing i want in my room is
something that is loud, my friend has one that you can hear with his bedroom
door closed and would drives that whole house insane after a few weeks on
non-stop running and restarting.

when I built the system, around xmas, the GF2 was the most affordable.
I wanted a motherboard I could use my stock pile of SDRAM so I didn't
have to buy any new stuff. The difference between the two looks good on
paper, but in real life, it don't make much difference. Again, 1.8 at
the time I bought the components, offered the most bang for the buck.
If I built one today, it would be a 2.0 with a GF3 or 4 for the same
price. But DDR Ram versus PC-133 doesn't show me anything with my eyes.

and this may not be the ultimate gamers machine either, but it is for
me. I use my PC to run my business and just do a few games for fun now
and then, so to me, this IS the ultimate gamers machine, but its a
business machine first.....I guess I should have explained that...
and, Yes, I like using a Joy stick much better than the steering wheel
and peddles. And I like the joystick better than a yoke in flight
simulator, probably because I learned to fly with a stick and have
thousands of flight hours using a stick....
to each his own!!
