Alright boys, Come inside and let me know what you think!

[gozulin]

This is the stuff I've just ordered from NewEgg, mWave and pctoys, does it pass the bored anandtech forum zombie test?

Motherboard: DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR (selected because it has more than 4 SATA ports)
CPU: AMD Opteron 165 Dual Core (selected because it overclocks like a god)
RAM: G.SKILL 1GB DDR 500 SDRAM (PC 4000) (selected because a stranger told me to)
GPU: eVga 7800GT (selected because I do enjoy the occasional game)
Heatsink: Scythe Ninja (selected because it has Ninja in the name. That and it's quiet)
Fan for the Heatink: Nexus 120mm (selected because it's quiet)
Mousepad: fUNC 1030 (selected because they say it's good stuff)

All of this is scheduled to rest comfortably in a P-180 along with 2x250GB SATA Hds , Nearby will be a Dell 2405FPW, a Logitech Fusion webcam, mx1000 mouse, Saitek Eclipse Keyboard and some logitech 2.1 speakers.

So, dear brothers and sisters, what think ye of this system I've just finished? Have I committed a glaring mistake? Have I thrown money in the wind? Am I the mugu or the master?

geek, with to much money, give me some.

And for some reason, so do I.

Oh, well I'm not really buying the stuff. In about 4 hours, me and a friend of mine are going to break into in Newegg's facilities and steal this all this. In fact, we'll be running a special afterwards:

7800GTX = HALF PRICE! $249 incl. shipping. NO RECEIPT!
PREMIUM RAM= $1499 a pound of 2GB sticks incl. shipping. NO RECEIPT!
MYSTERY CPU= $99 a processor. Randomly chosen among amd64s and X2s (receipts available upon request)

Say it with me:

Ninjas are so sweet that I want to crap my pants!

Does it come in a box with a big question mark on it? If so, I'll buy 20.

Are you fscking insane? Grab a truckload of those pre overclocked 7800s and for god sakes get yourself two of these, 4 to 8 of these and one of these. Then you'll be sitting pretty with the CPU horsepower for quite a while. (BTW that's what I run)

Oh, and I'll buy all the Opteron 254s and 280s you can steal.

That cheapo RAM? I wouldn't settle for anything less than this.

 

[gozulin]

Why oh why must you crash my party and crush my dreams of glory by flaunting your obscenely powerful artifact of smooth silicon and cold, efficient gleaming metal. Why?

*casts the Gigantus spell on his penis and wields it like chainmace.*

Why?

*swings the penis dangerously close to ribbon13's head*

Why?

*lassoes one of ribbon13's legs with his massive whiplike penis and slams him to the ground*

WHY???

*Starts pounding a hysterical ribbon13 lying on the floor vainly trying to dodge the bone-shattering blows of Gozulin's unnaturally humongous penis.*

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

*As a finishing blows, Gozulin throws the penis into the air where the tip rises serveral hundred feet and there slams it back down towards an unconscious and badly wounded ribbon13. Flames resulting from the air friction against the mach 2 diving are envolving the penis before it hits ribbon13 and drives his crushed, lifeless body several meters under the gound*

-Yes, I am still very much high.

It's only that expensive because its a hold over (as in its not manufactuered anymore, newegg doesn't buy em anymore, rarely sell any, so its not competively priced), and only for compaq proliant servers. and by the way, it's DDR266. So, you were saying? If you wanted high high density (for whatever reasons) the best you'd get is this

 

[gozulin]

Bump, I want more people to read about my manhood.

you picked it only because of it's price, i doubt you noticed the backround details and it never stated it's speed.

Ding ding ding! Your 6th grade psychology class paid off! Congratulations on pointing out my joke after I announced that it was a joke. You win, sir. To whom am I sending this check for $1,000,000 dollars to? Sorry, I don't do CODs.

i know it was a joke, you were just trying to jump on the train and put something "high-end". in result, failed miserably after ribbon's statement.

Not high-end, expensive. The fact that it's not worth the money only adds to the absurdity. Boy, I'd hate to talk to you guys in person. "WTF? A pea isn't a nut? It's a legume! Oh my god...blah blah blah *fellates ego*"
Gozulin brought some much-needed humor to this board and you guys already sucked it all away in the black hole where normally the part of the brain that processes humor is at. Learn to laugh and drop the ego.

 

[mOeeOm]

If you're spending that much already go for a 7800GTX...if not the 512mb one.

Make sure your motherboard and case can fit a 120mm HSF unit.

high end and expensive has it's relationships. and if you'd want to talk to me in real person, then i'd know the person who made the bad sarcastic remark after someone else did it with good thought put into it.

All I have to say to him is part of my sig "The correct response to ownage is to admit you were wrong and learn from your mistake." Now let Agnostos admit defeat and let's be friends.

As for it never stating it's speed, the day I see a talking stick of ram, is the day I take a fscking sledgehammer to everything electronic in the vicinity! info found here
