Oh, some elaboration on this 'PCI Express' thingy would be really cool !!

I was here a while ago, some may remember me ... I was going to get a dual opteron system with the works. However I decided to wait a while and see what the market did. The US dollar keeps coming down and down which is good for us Aussies but I haven't seen much in the way of components lately...

I'm planning on 4 250gb WD drives, would you suggest I get another brand???

I'm only getting a tb of storage btw because I can ... there is enough cash and then some so I figured why not? I like to make cd images so I don't have to keep popping cds in and out of the computer so I'll be able to put every cd I have onto my computer and that's a damn lot, so I'll have...

ahh ok :) [edit:] I know it'll be heavy ... I've got a custom made lan harness with wheels ;) ... I'm so lazy :D .

We're getting 18k computeres because he's a very generous guy ;) ... There's no real reason other than that, and well, I'm not complaining :D ... I will play a hell of a lot of games though, do you think it'd be better to build a single cpu system? I had contemplated it, like I whent to...

lol yeah, well I don't think I'll be making that market any bigger ... dual opterons is good enough for me I think, well it's probably more than good enough. I can't wait to play a game on this machine... and take it to a lan.

I could have more than 2 processors?!! That'd be sweet, pointless most likely but sweet! [edit:] I haven't seen anything other than 2xx being sold though, where are the 4xx and 8xx processors?

848?

lol.. 10k includes the money for a laptop, an upgrade for my current box and software, he can easily afford 10k and in fact I'm just 1 out of a group getting a computer. Originally it was to get an Alienware we would customize to the max but that's a bit of a rip and it'll take forever to get to...

hehe yeah, the TruePower PSU is the best one I found for the job 550W also which is good for all those juice gobbling components, a big power buffer. ..

Hehe, I plan on saving soon enough ... I'm finishing my last year at school this year and elective studies include business and economics so I'm sort of planning the next 10 years already. From the studies I've done so far I predict I will benefit quite well from my application I'm developing as...

hehe, could almost afford 3 of those on my budget at that price. $18,314.03 is the budget in USD (£10k and nearly $24K AUD for us Aussies who read this) ... So I can afford to spend a bit on tricking this system out to the max. This isn't the system of my dreams, it's better. :D

That's always the case with computer components, if I wait a few months they'll release new stuff and then hint or release info about some other cool super stuff and then I'll wait again and so on and I'll be using this 2400xp and radeon 7000 for the rest of my life... My 2400 is a toy...

Just noticed that the thunder mobo isn't the ATX size but ExATX, Tyan states it should fit an ATX case but I'm odering online so I don't want to take the chance ... So now I'm looking at using the Tiger K8W, no real change except it's ATX and I loose 4 dimms to it but I only want 4Gb in 4 sticks...
